Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter relative to Henry Thorne and Stephen Gates, soldiers of the Revolutionary War

Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims made to the United States for pension and bounty land based upon military service of soldiers in that war.

A careful search of the records fails to show such a claim on file on account of the services of Henry Thorne as described by you, all spellings of the surname searched.

In the American State Papers, Class 9, page 61, the name Stephen Gates is shown on a list of invalid pensioners returned by the Circuit Court for the District of Vermont, submitted to the House of Representatives by the Secretary of War on December 14, 1792, and again on April 25, 1794, as shown in same volume, page 119, class 3. He is reported on those lists as sergeant in Colonel Selden's Regiment, wounded in his left leg in service in October 1776, at White Plains, in  consequence of which wound he was rendered incapable of supporting himself. It is shown also,
that he was of Windham, the state not named, and that his pension began June 29, 1792 at the rate of $1.25 a month.

This office has no further information in regard to that soldier as there are no application papers on file.

Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER
Executive Assistant to the Administrator.
