You are furnished below the record of William Hodges, the only soldier of that name or of similar spelling, found who served in the Revolution from Virginia and settled in Kentucky.

Sir
I return herewith the letters of the Hon ble P. Thomas, and Mr. M c Hodges, referred by you to this Office yesterday, and in reply have to inform you that, it appears by the records of the Virginia Continental line on file in this Dep t , that William Hodges, a Private of Inf ty , acquired the right to bounty land from the U. States; the claim to which bounty, it appears, has never yet been satisfied. I therefore herewith send you the Forms , necessary to be complied with by his heirs in their application for said bounty, which, when duly authenticated, returned to this Office, and found satisfactory, a Land Warrant for 100. Acres will issue in their names

I enclose herewith the affidavit of Lewis Lea, to supply the one lost in the case of Mr. Hoaggs dec d under act 15 th May 1828.
Enclosed also you will find the declaration of Robert Gibson of Ky, under the act of June 7 th 1832, accompanied by the affidavits of the most highly respectable men in his County, shewing the reasons why he has not sooner applied. As the rolls of the Virginia State troops are known to be in file in the Pension Office, I have to request that you will cause an examination of them, for evidence of Mr. Gibson's service.
As a great delay has taken place in the examination of the papers of Mr. Hoaggs dec d , caused by the loss of Mr. Lea's affidavit, I beg that you will favor me if possible with an examination of it to day ; and as the claim of Robert Gibson comes from the same person, that you will also act upon that at the same time. You will find it I believe complete in every respect.

Dear Sir:- My William Hodge was in Revolutionary war & his number is 1287. He was in Virginia & I believe he went to Meigs county, Ky. later with Gen Samuel.
Think he was also in Ind. and had land warrants.
In his papers of service do you have names of other children & other data that would be of service to me.
This is to help me establish another Revolutionary soldier.
Would you kindly let me hear from you at a very early date.
Yours very truly Mrs. James H. Dansey
