Dear Sir:
You are advised that it appears from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 10634, that Aron or Aaron Eaton was born in 1753 in New Jersey.
He enlisted in December, 1776, and marched from Northampton County, Pennsylvania, near Easton, and served one month as private in Captain John Nelson's Pennsylvania company, and was in the battles of Trenton and Princeton. He enlisted in the fall of 1777 and served two months as private in Captain John Nelson's company in Colonel Pope's
Pennsylvania regiment. He enlisted in the fall of 1778 and served two months as private in Captain John Nelson's company with the Pennsylvania troops under Colonel Jacob
Stroud. In the spring of 1781 he served one month and was stationed at Smith's Fort in Northampton County, names of officers not given.
He was allowed pension on his application executed October 16, 1832, at which time he was living in Beaver County, Pennsylvania.
There are no data relative to his family,
Very truly yours
E. W. MORGAN

Attention of Mrs. Hewson

Dear Sir:
The attached letter from Mr. W. H. Graham, of 346 North Spring Avenue, Saint Louis, Missouri, which your office forwarded to this bureau, May 4, 1931, is returned for your consideration.
The histories of the Revolutionary War soldiers,
Aaron Eaton (S. 10634) and Joseph Eaton (S. 3318), as shown by the papers in their pension claims on file in this bureau, were furnished Mr. Graham, April 13, 1931, and it seems that he is desirous of obtaining what information your records may contain relative to these soldiers.
This bureau has no record of a claim for pension having been made by the widow of either of these soldiers.
Very truly yours
