Hon. James Branch Cabell,

Dumbarton, Va.


Dear  Mr. Cabell:- Further regarding services of Wm.
Strother of King George County, and Capt. Anthony
Savage of Gloucester County, will you please refer to
the following, and let me know if they would be
acceptable for supplemental papers along with an
application on the service of Col. John Frogg?

"Virginia Journals of the House of  Burgesses 1727-1734,
1736-1740, page 36 "Monday, March 11, 1727, Ordered that
Mr. Strother have leave to be absent from the service
of the House til tomorrow fo ' night."

Page 156, "Mr. Strother was present, Saturday June
24, 1732."

Page 173, "Thursday August 22, 1734, Also a new writ
for election of Burgesses to serve in the present General
Assembly, for the County of King George, in room of
Mr. Nicholas Smith and Mr. William Strother, deceased."

For service of Capt. Anthony Savage, page 221. The
Buckners of Va. and Allied Families of Strother & etc,
by Crosier, says; "Capt. Anthony Savage was Justice
and High Sheriff of Gloucester County."

I do not wish to annoy you with this matter, but am
anxious to get these matters ready for my cousins
application for membership in the Va. Society of
Colonial Wars, and do not know any other person who
could pass on them, with authority.

Thanking you in advance for your reply, I am,

Cordially yours,

CKH/K
