Madam:
In reply to your letter of the 16 " ultimo, you are
advised that upon a re - examination of the Revolutionary War
pension claim W. 21,962, it was discovered that when the application
of Mary Hildreth, the daughter of Mary and Samuel
Philbrook of Greenland, N. H. was sent to the Pension Bureau in
1853, it was erroneously placed with the pension claim of
Samuel Philbrick who was born in Epping, N. H. Feb. 18, 1760
and enlisted from Chichester, N. H.
It has now been properly placed with the pension claim of
her father Samuel Philbrook, who enlisted from Greenland, N. H.
and you are herewith furnished a history of Samuel Philbrook
of Greenland, N. H. and his wives and children.
You are requested to destroy the incorrect record furnished
you on July 18, 1916.
On Jan. 27, 1854, Charles L. Holmes stated under oath that
"Henry Philbrook son of Samuel and Elizabeth Philbrook died
Dec. 8, 1850." The place of his birth, maiden name of his
mother and date of her marriage are not on record.
Very respectfully,
GM Saltzgaber
