therein were obtained from the papers in pension claim, S. 43268,
based upon his service in that war.

To the Hon. the Commissioner of Pensions
Washington, D.C.,
Dear Sir: Will you favor me with such information as your office affords in regard to Samuel Weed and David Weed who were residents of Orange County in this state from 1772 until after the War of 1812. They were probably both Pensioners of the War of the Revolution. In 1827 Letters of Administration were applied for and granted by the Surrogate's Court of Orange Co on the Estate of David Weed, who had then been deceased for some time as would appear from the papers, which also set forth that the assets of said Estate were uncollected Pensions. 
This information is desired for the purpose of unraveling a line of ancestry. Any facts you may furnish me will be very much appreciated , and I shall take pleasure in paying any customary expenses and charges in the matter.

Respectfully,
J.V. Weed

Dear Sirs:

I wish to obtain the record, if such there
be, of one Samuel Weed, said to have been a Revolutionary
soldier and to have served for four years in the Continental
army.
He survived until 1841 and I should suppose would
have applied for a pension when the Pension Act was passed,
and, in connection with that, have given the proofs of his
service. It is possible that he was not in the Continental
army but was in a militia regiment, though my present information
is to the former effect.
May I ask you to have the
proper search made and, if you find any record of him, to send
me a copy of the substance of his proofs of service and of
the pension granted. He lived in the Town of Newburgh,
Orange County, New York, and became a very noted character
on account of his long survival after the Revolutionary War.

If there be any charge in regard to this
and you will advise me of it, I shall be glad to remit the
amount.
Subject to this, I should be greatly obliged if
I could have the information promptly.
