Hon’ble Richard Rush
Sir
I have inclosed the Declaration
of Jose Page with the evidence of
his identity. that he performed the service
and as I have learned I think there
can be no doubt but that he did the
service. and if he served the time that
he states, which was most of the war,
I should expect that his name would be
found in the Record of the War Office
of the United States he is very old
and infirmed, and need[s] the [earnings] of
his youth to [retreive] his necessities in
his old age. I made out the
Declaration of Silas Fox and sent
 in to Genl Allen to forward after
making a certificate of my authority
to administer Oaths and it
appears that Mr Allen forwarded it
to the Secretary of War. I received a
line from Mr James L Edwards
in which he informs that he has
[re-fw’d] it to the Secretary of the
Treasury. Your please to inform
what may be necessary to succeed
in their application and oblige.
your Humble Serv
Tim’o Hinman

Commissioner of Pensions,
Washington, D. C.


Sir:
A client of mine desires information concerning
one of her ancestors who was a sergeant in the
Revolutionary War and as I understand it, a pensioner
of the U. S. Government under his Revolutionary War
Service.

The name of this ancestor was Jose, or
Joss Page. This first name may, of course, have been
Joseph or an abbreviation thereof. The birthplace
of this man cannot be located but he died and was burIed
in Derby, Vermont, in 1858. He was supposed to
have been born in 1757, according to family legend,
but the place cannot be located.

Will you be kind enough to inform me what
the records of your department may show in his pension
application or certificate as to birthplace, the place
of his enlistment, the place and date of his discharge,
the names of his parents, and such other information
as may be in your possession concerning his antecedents,
places of living, etc.

I shall Much appreciate your courtesy in
an early reply.

Yours truly
A. H. Grout
