Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to John H. Guill, of Farmville, Virginia, a soldier of the Revolutionary War, who received a pension for his services about June 18, 1833.
A careful search of the Revolutionary War records has been made and no record found of a soldier named John Guill who received pension in 1833, while residing in Farmville, Virginia, and no John H. Guill. However, the record has been found of a John Guill who served in the Virginia Troops and was pensioned while residing in Kentucky. His history is furnished herein, the data for which were obtained from the papers on file in his pension claim, S 25998, based upon the military service of that soldier in the Revolutionary War. This record is that of the only soldier named John Guill that is found on the Revolutionary War records of this office.
The date and place of birth and the names of the parents of John Guill are not shown.
John Guill enlisted in Prince Edward County, Virginia, in March, 1777, served as a private in Captain John Holcomb's Company, Colonel Robert Lawson's 4 th Virginia Regiment, was in the battles of Brandywine, Germantown and Monmouth and was discharged in February, 1780.
He was allowed pension on his application executed October 19, 1818, at which time he was aged sixty years and resided in Scott County, Kentucky.
In 1822, he had moved to Owen County, that state and stated that his family then residing with him consisted of his wife and six children. He gave no names and there are no further data as to family.

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you state that the name of the soldier whose record you desire is John H. Guill and not Grill.
On March 11, 1935, the history of John Guill (S.35998), a soldier of the Revolutionary War, was furnished you and it is presumed that you have received the same by this time.
A search of the Revolutionary War records has been made for Reuben and Alexander Guill but no record has been found of a claim for pension or bounty land having been made to the United States based upon the military service of those soldiers in the Revolutionary War. Such claims are the source of the data furnished by this office.
It is suggested that as a possible means of obtaining information in regard to the military service of those soldiers, you apply to The Adjutant General, War Department, this city, who is custodian of military records.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER Executive Assistant to the Administrator.

Director Administration,
Grutman,

Can
You give me any information regarding a pension awarded (Farmville) John H. Guill of Farmville VA , Virginia, about Jan 18 - 1833. He served, I believe for the years 77, 78, 79 - Should like to know any family connections that might be registered, or any information

You can give me will appreciate it greatly. I should like to join the D. A. R. (Daughters of the American Rev.)
My grandfather, Elijah N. Guise was born in Prince Edward Co., Va. Nov. 1 - 1807. His father was Reuben Guise. I think this John H. Guise who re- ceived the pension was Reuben Guise's brother.
I had an Uncle named John H. Guise, who too, was born in Prince Edward's County in 1831. Son of Elijah N. Guise.
Yours most sincerely, Mrs. Erle G. Duke.
