Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Samuel Bougs.

The data furnished herein were obtained from papers on file in claim for pension, R. 1013, based upon the service of Samuel Cook Booge (Bouge) in the Revolutionary War. This is the record of the only Samuel Booge, found on file in the Revolutionary War records of this office. The surname was searched under similar spellings.

The date and place of birth of Samuel Cook Booge, and names of is parents were not given.

Samuel Cook Booge married January 14, 1773, in Farmington, Hartford County, Connecticut, Tryphena Thompson. The date and place of her birth, and names of her parents were not stated.

They lived from sometime in 1798, to 1821, in Franklin County, Vermont, then moved to Norfolk, St. Lawrence County, New York. Samuel Cook Booge died in Norfolk, New York, in the year 1829.

His widow, Tryphena Booge, died September 20,
Page 11

1843, survived by the following children-
Loley Richardson, of Fairfax, Vermont;
Sally H Simmons, of Sohroon, Essex County, New York;
Rebecca W Soper, of Poquonook, Hartford County, New York;
Samuel B. Booge, of Norfolk, St. Lawrence County, New York;
Warren S. Booge, of Norfolk County, New York.

Their son, Samuel B. Booge, on February 21, 1849, then aged about fifty-eight years, applied for the pension which might have been due his mother, Tryphena Booge.

It was alleged in the claim that Samuel Cook Booge was a waiter to Aaron J. Bogue, who was a Chaplain, and that from sometime in May, 1776, he was quartermaster in Colonel Fisher Gay's Connecticut regiment, until Colonel Gay's death, when he was appointed 2nd Lieutenant and served in Colonel Wells' and Meigs' Connecticut regiments.

The claim for pension was not allowed, as proof of service as required by the pension law, was not established.

In 1852, Deicus (?) R. Booge (as he signed) was Sheriff of Franklin County, Vermont, and stated that his uncle, Aaron J. Bogue, was chaplain in the Revolutionary War, and that Samuel C. Booge, was, also, his uncle.

The papers on file in this claim contain no further discernible family data.

Very truly yours

Sir,

I have the honor to inform you that the declaration in the case of Tryphena Booge decd, and of Samuel C Booge has been reexamined  and placed in file under the act of 4 July 1836.

The service for which this claim is made has not been specified, nor is there any evidence to show either the length of Samuel C Booges engagement in the war of the revolution the date of the manner of the death of these parties.

Satisfactory proof is required upon all these permits before a certificate can issue to Mrs Booges children.

I Charles Hosmer Recording Secretary of the Connecticut Historical Society do hereby certify that among the books belonging to said Society, is a volunteer of Bound Newspapers published in Hartford, Connt, entitled the "Connecticut Convant" by Ebenezer Watson, and under date of September 30th, 1776, is the following extract from an obituary notice of the death of Col. Fisher Gay viz:

"Hartford September 30.
The 22 of August last died at New York in the 42nd year of his age after a long and painful illness, Col Fisher Gay of Farmington.
The many accomplishments of this gentleman recommended him to the esteem of his friends, his acquaintance and the public; evidential of this are the favors he received from the people in his several promotions.
In justice to his character it may with truth be said that he filled the several departments of his public life with reputation; as a representative, the interest of the colony; as a justice of the peace, impartiality; and as a Colonel in the militia and in the Army, vigilance, punctuality and dispatch were objects of his attention and pursuit."
Page 21

"He has left a disconsolate widow and three children too young to be fully sensible of their imparable loss to reap the fruits of his patronal care, in the ample provision he has made for their support."

Sir

The claim of Typhena Booge decd of NY- act July 4 1836-cannot be allowed upon the evidence of her husband in another case. According to the statement of her [unk], he was at that time, urging the office to pension him and it it be true that his papers were before the office, it is probable that they were compared with the affidavit, in the care of William Boyd, and it is certain the office did not then think that this affidavit established his own claim.

Sir:

In presenting the enclosed additional evidence on the claim of Tryphena Booge, under act of 4th July 1836. I need leave to call the attention of the Department to the affidavit of Samuel C Booge found with the papers of William Boyd pensioned act 1818, Vermont roll, (a copy of which is enclosed) in which 22 months service as Lieut & 2nd Master is set forth, and other service claimed sufficient to justify any adjustment of this claim for two years service as Lieut and 2nd Master, it may be well to notice that as these statements were made without the least reference to his own interest, and even not actually necessary in giving the facts as to Wm Boyd's service, they can and should be fully credited, as being the truth in every respect, and especially when his character is so fully established as his is, beg the evidence enclosed herewith.

I forward a certificate from the Ct Hist Society showing the date of Col Gays death, which fully corroborates L C Baugerd statements, and shows he was stating facts of which he had knowledge, all of which is respectfully submitted.

Very respectfully your obt servt,

My dear Sir:

I have carefully gone thru the record of Samuel Cook Bogue in order, if possible, to find the Second Lieutenant service. Your report of October 17th and my information which I obtained in Washington last April, I find that the Pension Record is simply based upon the Revolutionary War Service of ay one soldier in the Revolutionary War. May I ask this question? Where do you obtain this record for the Pension Bureau?

I wrote to Hartford, Conn., after receiving your information. The first records reads- "Samuel Bogue, Commissary Account 1782-- XXXV: 153E. Second, Samuel Cook Bogue depositioned on John McMan's service 1781-XXI: 39."

I readily understand from this that he remained in the war until its close and was in different companies, which would be probable as the war ended 1781. To make the question more explicit, where can I find this record of 2nd Lieutenant which you have in the Pension Office, or will I give it up.

Yours,

M. E. Alden

Dear Sir:

Last spring when I was in Washington I went into the Veterans Department inquirying for the Pension Claim of one of my ancestors int eh Revolutionary war, Samuel Cook Booge (or Bogue). I copy the claim which they had there and it is the following:

"It is alleged in the claim that he was a waiter to Aaron J. Bogue, who was a chaplain, and that from sometime in May 1776 was quartermaster in Colonel Fisher Gay's Connecticut regiment, until Colonel Gay's death, when he was appointed second lieutenant and served in Colonel Wells' and Meigs' Connecticut regiments, and that he served several years."

Mr. Hiller, I would be very glad if you could tell me just how and where this record came in to the pension bill. I asked Mrs. Reed, our Registrar General, over at Continental Hall to give me the privelage of using that record, (Second Lieutenant) and have it inscribed upon one of my bars. Mrs. Reed said they had no such record. How did you get it?

Awaiting your reply, I am yours very truly,

Booge, son of Samuel C. Booge, in his effort to obtain a pension based upon the service of his father in the Revolutionary War.
