Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter relative to James Raymond, a soldier of the Revolutionary War.

The data which follow were obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, S. 35598, based upon the military service of James Raymond in the Revolutionary War.

He enlisted about March 1, or 15, 1782, served as a private in Captain Hezekiah Rogers’ company, Colonel Samuel B. Webb’s Connecticut regiment, and was discharged March 1, 1783.

He was allowed pension on his application executed April 13, 1818, while a resident of Thompson, Windham County, Connecticut.

James Raymond had formerly lived at Canterbury, Windham County, Connecticut, and in 1820 was again living there and aged fifty-five years.  He stated at that time that he had no family.

He died March 3, 1822.

This office has no general genealogical data on file, hence no means of tracing the ancestors of Andrew Raymond. 

Very truly yours
