Transcribed from the Revolutionary War records on Heritage Quest;

From a letter in the file dated January 22, 1937 to Vallie Boatman of Cooksville, Tennessee the National Archives stated.

Pension #39060 is for service and disability incurred by Benjamin Sadler in the Revolutionary War.

Benjamin Sadler enlisted in Virginia in 1776, served as a private in Captain Samuel Woodson's Company, Colonel George Mathews' 9th Virginia Regiment and was discharged in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania having served two years and six months.

Benjamin Sadler was allowed pension from January 1, 1803 under the Act of April 25, 1808, on account of disability incurred in service during the Revolutionary War. The nature of the wounds and injuries are not shown.

The statements made by this soldier in this application for pension are not on file, because of the destruction of papers when the British burned the public buildings in 1814. Benjamin Sadler was a resident of Goochland County, Virginia in 1808, and in December 1819, had moved to Sumner County, Tennessee. While a resident of that county, he applied February 22, 1822, for pension on account of his service in the Revolutionary War as stated above. In 1822, he was aged sixty-six years: the date and place of his birth and the names of his parents were not given. This pension was granted under the Act of March 18, 1818. There was no mention of a wife or children of this soldier.
