Job Greenman

Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request information relative to Job, or Joseph, Greenman, who was granted pension for his services in the Revolutionary War.

In the Report of the Secretary of War, printed in 1835, in regard to the pension establishment of the United States, the name Job Greenman is shown on a list of invalid pensioners of Providence County, Rhode Island. This report shows that Job Greenman was a private in the Revolutionary War and was allowed pension at the rate of $48 per annum, under the Act of June 7, 1785, to commence March 4, 1789, on account of disability incurred in service, the nature of which is not stated.

This office has no further information in regard to service of this soldier and no data whatever in regard to his family, because of the destruction of papers in such early claims for pension when the War Office was burned in 1800. No pension claim for a Joseph Greenman.

Very truly yours,

A.D. HILLER
Assistant to Administrator.
