Dear Madam:

I advise you that from the Revolutionary War records of this bureau it appears that Ebenezer Frothingham enlisted in 1778, was Lieutenant in Colonel Samuel B. Webb's Connecticut Regiment and served to the close of the Revolution.

His age, places of residence, and date of death are not shown.

Soldier's brother, Samuel Frothington, applied February 22, 1827, in Middletown, Middlesex County, Connecticut, for the bounty land due on account of the services of his brother as stated above.

Warrant No. 1222 for 200 acres of bounty land was issued to said Samuel on March 13, 1827.

There are no further family data.

This bureau is unable to identify the records of other soldiers named by you without their full names.

Very truly yours,
E. W. MORGAN
Acting Commissioner.
