Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Ebenezer Learned, of Massachusetts.

You are furnished below the record of the only soldier of that name under any spelling bound in the records of this office.

The records show that Ebenezeer learned, of Oxford, Massachusetts, served in the Revolutionary War as Colonel of the 3rd Massachusetts Regiment, and while in line of duty at Dorchester Heights in March, 1776, was ruptured by a wound received in the groin by falling on a stake in the night; her was later appointed Brigadier General and resigned March 24, 1778.
On account of disability resulting from the above-noted injury, he was pensioned from September 4, 1793. His name was borne on the Massachusetts Pension Rolls.
No statements made by the soldier at the time of application for pension are on record in this office because of the destruction of the papers by fire when the War Office was burned in 1800, consequently, there is no further information in regard to his serve and none, whatever, in regard to his family.
Ebenezer Learned died April 1, 1801
Very truly yours,
A. D. Hiller
Assistant to Administrator
