25748Pg 493 Abraham 4 Gum, Corporal, infantry, (the name appeared on army register but had not received bounty land). (S: Gwathemy, Virginians in the Revolution p.333). Some descendants have used that entry as proof of his service in the war. They state that his wife was on a pension in 1840, so believe that he served in the VA Militia, but have been unable to get records from the National Archives.
