Mrs. B. J. Wilkinson 
Antrim, New Hampshire
Dear Madam: 
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of John Granger who was born in Connecticut, and the record of Captain Samuel Jones who died in 1831 in Berlin, Vermont. 
There is no claim for pension or bounty land on file based upon service in the Revolutionary War of a Captain Samuel Jones of Vermont. 
In regard to John Granger, the Revolutionary War records of this office show that an application for pension was made by John Granger under the Act of March 18, 1818, that Certificate No. 19334, was issued to him December 13, 1824, for pension at the rate of $8 per month for service in the Connecticut Line. At the time he received his pension he was living in Washington County, New York. 
This office has no further information in regard to John Granger, cited above, as his claim for pension has been missing from the files for many years. There is no reference to show for what purpose those papers were taken from the files. 
It is suggested that some information in regard to him, such as date of last payment of pension, possible date of his death and other residences might be obtained from the Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, by citing the following data: John Granger, certificate #19334, issued December 13, 1824, rate, $8 per month, Act of March 18, 1818, New York Agency.
Very truly yours  A. D. Hiller
Executive Assistant to the Administrator
