Madam:
 I have to advise you that from the records of this Bureau it appears that Thomas Bristol who was a private in the Revolutionary War received pension at the Connecticut Agency commencing March 1789, under the Act of June 7, 1785, on account of disability incurred in the service. He died in 1809.
 There is no further data on file relative to said pensioner owing to the destruction of papers when the War Office was burned in 1800 and 1814.

Respectfully,
Wilder S. Metcalf 
Commissioner
