IN RE: LEWIS HOWELL , Revolutionary Soldier.
Dear Sirs:-
We desire what information we can secure of Lewis Howell , a Revolutionary Soldier who served from Virginia, removed to Kentucky and from there to Illinois, what is now Saline County. He was pensioned, and we desire to know where he was living at time of death if this can be secured through the Pension Bureau; also his war record, name of wife and children if any.
We are asking this information because of the fact that the D.A.R. Chapter is causing a memorial to the Revolutionary Soldiers buried in this county to be placed here, and Lewis Howell seems to be one from this county whose record we have so far not been able to secure.
Thanking you for this information, in advance, I am,
Very respectfully,
(Mrs.) Carrie P. Cozart
