Mrs. Fred King,
17 Chestnut Street,
Binghampton, N.Y.
Madam:
In response to your letter dated the 24th ultimo, you are advised that in the list of Invalid Pensioners printed in 1835, who had been inscribed on the roll of the New York Agency, and whose residence could not be ascertained in consequence of the destruction of the papers of the War Office in 1800 and 1814 appears the name Thomas Duncan, Sargeant in the Revolutionary Army, who was allowed $60. per annum. There are no papers on file relative to his claim owing to their destruction as above stated when the War Office was burned.
Thomas Duncan recorded in Pensioners and Applicants in New York in the Revolution quoted by you was pensioned by the State of New York under Act of the Legislature dated April 22, 1786; see State Archives of New York vol. 1, page 551, edited by Berthold Fenow in 1887. For data in regard to him you should consult the New York State Librarian at Albany New York.
Very respectfully,
[illegible]
Commissioner.
