==============
Military Service Information based on a Pension Application of:
John Bailey
(Researcher: STRINGCAN@aol.com -   Michael(Mike)Bailey
My G.G.G.G.Grandfather applied for a pension for service
in the Rev. War twice,first in 1819 second,1824 at the
Bath Co. Ky. Court. Both times he mentioned Regiment
commanded by Col. John Ruffin.

1819 application,(Illegible symbol)1775 he was enlisted
for one year at Mathews(?) County by Capt. Augustus
Willis and served in Capt.(Illegible name)and
Capt.(Illegible name)Company-Regiment commanded by Col.
John Ruffin.

1824 application-John Bailey enlisted for a term of one
year in August 1775 in the State of Virginia,that he was
enlisted by Capt. Augustace Willis and was attached to
Capt. Masons Company a part of the time and the remainder
of his time was attached to Capt. Pelhams Company of the
First or Second Virginia Regiment in the Virginia
Continental Establishment commanded by Col. John
Ruffin,that he continued to serve in said Corps in actual
service in the Virginia Continental Establishment until
August 1776 when he was discharged from said service in
Yorktown,Virginia.

I was able to find in Provincial Forces,1774-1776
Southampton District Battalion,(Counties of
Southampton,Sussex,Surry,Brunswick,Prince George,and
Dinwiddie). Field Officers,Col. David
Mason,March,1776,Lt. Col.John Ruffin,Dec.1775.On
Dec.29,1775,Lt. Col. John Ruffin and 180 Southampton
District Minutemen arrived in Williamsburg to relive
regular troops on duty there. In the book,( Virginians in
the Revolution) I found Ruffin,____,Col.in 1775-6.of
Dinwiddie,Ruffin,John,Lt. Col. 1st. Minute Battalion,paid
in Aug.,1776,Ruffin,John,Art

Perhaps I should explain my objective,I would like to
document what my ancestor said in his pension
application,I sent to the National Archives in Wash. for
any info. they refered me to the Library of Va. the Va.
Library refered me back to the National Archives,they
referred me to special research dept. I was then sent
forms to request info. that I have previously sent.The
National Archives has Va. Compiled Records,Rev. War
Records of Virginians but to view all of the rolls
appears to me to be overwelming. I am trying to find a
Regiment number as that is how they are cataloged. The
Battalions and Regiments were reorganized so many times
it is impossibe to order records based on what my
ancestor said in his pension application. 

If you know of this Col. John Ruffin any information
about his command would be appreciated, I will be glad to
share all information that I find. 
         Thanks for your reply,
         Michael(Mike)Bailey
