Commissioner of Pensions,
Washington, D. C.

January 28th 1895.

Dear Sir, -- I am a member of the organization known as the Sons of the American Revolution, being a grandson of Samuel Prescott, who belonged to one of the Massachussetts [Massachusetts] Regiments. The Association
desires some little information regarding him, which I am unable to obtain from any of the family now living. His name was on the Pension
Roll at the time of his death. He lived in Maine, in what was in my younger days known as Franklin County, but in his day, I think it was
known as Kennebeck County.

The officers of the Association have suggested that the records in your office would show to what regiment he belonged, and his rank, as he was a pensioner originally from Mass., but I think he lived until after Maine was separated from Massachussetts. [Massachusetts]

Can you give me this information, and oblige,
Very respectfully,
H. L. Williams

Dictated.
