My forefather lived in Goochland County, enlisted in the Revolutionary Army in Williamsburg and served with the 5th Virginia Regt. of Foot and mustered out in Valley Forge. My research shows that folks from Bedford Co, served in the 5th. Was there a uniform or did they dress as militia? If there was a uniform for the Regt. do you know where I could obtain a print of a soldier in that uniform? Thanks for your assistance.

The Bedford County Order Book # 9, page 132, has entries, in December 1787 as follows:
"Ord. that the Over,s,of the poor Bind out Aaron and Moses Parker Children of Mary Parker and so saw"
The next entry on the same page reads "Ord. that the Over,s od the poor Bind out Wm Parker, Jesse Parker and Levi Parker also two other younger children whose names are not known. Children of Sarah Parker and so saw"
We have extensive information on Mary Parker and the descendants of her children. Believe Sarah Parker may be a sister of Mary Parker. Would like to have information on Sarah and her children. Can anyone help us? Thank you.
