Where might I obtain the pension files for two Revolutionary War widows residing in Frederick County, Virginia?  Quoting from Bockstruck's "Revolutionary War Pensions, awarded 1775-1905":

"Duncan, John. Va. - . He died in service about the last of May 1779.  His widow, Mary Duncan, and two children were furnished £20 support in Frederick Co., Va. on 5 Sep. 1780.  She was on the pension list in 1785."

"Duncan, Samuel. Va. - .  He died in the service.  His widow, Mary Duncan, and two children were furnished £20 support in Frederick Co., Va. on 7 Sep. 1779 and on 5 June 1782."

Thanks,
Ed Smith
