Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the revolutionary War record of Thomas Green Alvey who was a resident of Perry County, Indiana, in 1819.

His record follows as found in the papers on file in pension claim S.35766 based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.

The date and place of soldier's birth and name of his parents are not given.

Thomas Green Alvey enlisted in Maryland, in April, 1777 for a term of three years, served as private in Captain George Armstrong's company, Colonel Ramsey's 3rd Maryland Regiment, was in the battle of Monmouth, at the storming of Stony Point and in the battle of Paramus in which he was wounded in his side by a bayonet, and in his left arm by two buckshot which tore off three fingers from his left hand; he was discharged in 1783.

He was allowed pension on his application executed May 24, 1819, at which time he was residing in Perry County, Indiana, and stated that he was sixty-nine years of age. In 1821 he was still a resident of Perry County, Indiana, and gave his age as seventy-six years with no explanation of the discrepancy.

In 1821 the soldier referred to his wife aged sixty-six years but did not state her name and made no reference to any children.

Very truly yours
