Hi Gail,

There is good news and bad news. Christopher has been documented by applicants at DAR, however his service record will have to be redocumented. A Christopher Bewley is on record as deserting in 1777. It may be the same Christopher in which case you would need to document that he served after 1777 or it may be a man with the same name in which case you would need to distinguish between the 2 men.

BEWLEY, CHRISTOPHER Ancestor #: A009834 Notice: FUTURE APPLICANTS MUST PROVE CORRECT SERVICE Birth: 4-6-1756 Death: 8-20-1839 HARDIN CO. KENTUCKY m Nancy Patterson

If you would like a copy of the application with the Patriot's information, you may request a copy from DAR National Headquarters.
