Madam;
I have to advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim R. 5106, it appears that Nicholas Hogle applied for pension, March 7, 1836, while a resident of Greenbush, Rensselaer County, New York, and aged seventy-six years, he alleged that while residing at said Greenbush, he enlisted in 1777 as a Ranger or Minute-Man and served four months under Captain Jacob DeFreest and Colonel Henry K. Van Rensselaer in the New York Troops, in 1778 served about four weeks in Captain Cornelius Lansing's Company, Colonel Peter Vrooman's New York Regiment, and about four weeks in Captain Jorolemon's Company, no dates given. 
The claim was not allowed, as there was no
Page 11

[type written]

evidence to establish as much as six months' service, as required by the pension law.
It also appears in said claim that soldier died June 6, 1844 at Greenbush, New York.
He left no widow, but the following children survived him - Edward Hogle; Elizabeth Van Benthuisen; Jacob Hogle; and Abram Hogle, who was sixty-four years old in 1854, and a resident of Greenbush, New York.
The name of soldier's wife is not stated, and there are no further family data.
