Session, 1781", which shows the sum of L 277 S. 10 was rec'd. by himself on April 23, 1783. The collection of Rev. War Records in this office is incomplete, but it is possible that additional information may be obtained from the Librarian, Virginia State Library, Richmond, VA, or from the Archivist, the National Archives, Washington, D.C., who has custody of the U. S. Pension Records covering the period of the Revolutionary War.?
