William, etal The statement that James Mattingly, bc1760, entered Service in 1780 from DC was incorrect in James' application. There was not a DC until Dec 1, 1800, and it wasn't even discussed until about 1798/99. They entered from VA and applied for Pension from DC and, if died after 1846, were back in VA. I would presume that all of theCounty Records remained in VA for the entire period; however, I do not know if that is a true statement or not.
