Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the
Revolutionary War record of a Jacob Flanders whose widow was Rhoda
Flanders, and who died at Chelsea, Vermont, May 21, 1840, also the
record of Ananiah Bohonon who applied for pension in Orange County,
Vermont, under the Act of March 18, 1818.

The Revolutionary War records of this office have been searched
and no claim for pension or bounty land found based upon service in
that war of a Jacob Flanders whose widow, Rhoda, received a pension.
The record of Jacob Flanders ( S. 38699) which was furnished you
September 13, 1933, is that of the only soldier of that name who
applied for pension while a resident of Chelsea, Vermont. In his claim
for pension, the name of his wife was given as Anna in 1820, and no
reference was made to another wife.

You are furnished herewith the record of Ananiah Bohonon.

Very truly yours
