Sir:

I am seeking the Revolutionary War record of my ancestor
 Corp. William Hunt, to complete my D.A.R. application

Corp, William Hunt enlisted from Connecticut, Woodbury
or Goshen, and was in Col. Seth Warner's regiment
at one time.
He was taken prisoner by the British
at Fort George, carried to England but later exchanged
and died in Danbury, Conn.
He was probably pensioned
The above is all I know about him, except that
he had a daughter ‘Rebecca’ from whom I am descended.

1. What was his father's name? Was he in the War?
2. Whom did Corp. Wm Hunt Marry? 
3. Where was he living, when pensioned?
4. What were the names of his children?
5. Where any other members of his family in the War?

Any information you can give me concerning him
will be greatly appreciated.

Very truly yours
M. Esther Morris

Dear Madam:

The records of this office show that William Hunt
enlisted January 16, 1777, served as private or corporal
in Captain Woolcott's Company, Colonel Warner's Regiment
and was wounded at the battle of Bennington by a ball
which passed through his right thigh. The date of discharge
not given. His residence was Middlebury.
He was allowed pension from March 4, 1795, on
account of disability resulting from said wound.
There are no further data on file as to his services
and no data as to his family, because of the destruction
of papers in such claims when the War Office was burned
in 1800 and by the British in 1814.
