Dear Sir,
I have a very distinct recollection of the John Sprouce who served with me in Capt. T.T. Estes' Company- He was cook for my mess the whole time I was in service- He may have been drafted in Capt. Rothwell's Company and immediately after arriving in camp transferred along with others into that of Capt. Estes- We were stationed most of the time at Camp Carter, and our company formed part a attachment sent to Hobb's Hole (Rappahanock) in pursuit of the enemy- We were never at Norfolk never in an engagement none of our company were ever wounded nor did I ever hear of Mr. Sprouce speak of having served at Norfolk- tho this he may have done & I have forgotten it. The Sprouse family are very numerous in this county- and the one applying to you may not be the one with whom I served- At home he lived in Capt. Rothwell's Malitia bounds (I mean my acquaintance). He still lives in the same neighborhood, is a man of some property, and has no connection or intercourse with those of his name who reside mostly in which is termed the Ragged Mountains and are very degraded- You may rely fully upon any thing that my friend John Sprouce may say- I saw him about 18 months ago and if I am not mistaken he informed me that (con't)
[Next Page]
his claim for bounty land was in the hands of (I think) Drury Wood a lawyer in Charlottesville and I promised him if he should find it necessary to render him any gratuitous aid in my power- He never had called on me , and I know that there would not and ought not to be least difficulty in establishing his claim. He resides on top of the South West Mountains (normally called Little Mountains) near Stony Point- It is impossible for me at this time after the lapse of so many years to remember the names of all the Captains from Albemarle. I was but a boy at the time and served as a volunteer- I will name some of them, Estes, Rothwell, McCullock, Wm Woods, T. (W.[sp] Wood) Carr, Field- What part of the County does your man live in? I remember Thomas, Rippew[sp], Dike, Snow and Gardner as members of our Company- If it is really my friend you have got hold of he ought by all means he get his land.
In haste your friend,
Wm. Wertnebaker
