To answer your question.
The DAR has RECANTED their original rejection of the
applicants documentation back to Rev. War Soldier
Reuben Bates Sr. (1731-1800). No problem there.
DAR moves the goal posts.
According to the DAR, the LAST HURDLE was to identify
the Mister Duval who picked up soldier pay due Rev. War
Soldier Reuben Bates. That was accomplished, according
to his pension, ex-officer William Duval was one and the
same as MISTER DUVALL, who picked-up doldier pay due his
neighbor Reuben bates of Louisa Co., VA.
