The Commissioner of Pensions,
Washington, D.C.

Dear Sir:

Will you please give me the military record of the following named men, my ancestors, who served in the War of the Revolution? As follows:-

Josiah Wood, Josiah Wood 2nd and Emory Wood, - and of John Hilliard and John Hilliard 2nd.

It seems there are two Josiah Woods, probably father and son, and Capt. Emory Wood, grandson of the 1st Josiah.

They all hailed from the Eastern Sates: Uxbridge, Worcester Co., Mass., Northbridge and Upton.

_______

John Hilliard was born in 1729. There was a second John Hilliard, probably son of the first.

It is believed the first John Hilliard enlisted from Stonington, Conn., although he had lived at Saybrook, Conn., and Manchester, Danby, and Chittenden, Vermont.

________

I especially desire the names of the [start underline] wives [end underline] and children of these men, and hope through the pension part of the record they will be found.

It is stated that Capt. Emory Wood married a daughter of Ezekiel Wood, but the [start underline] first [end underline] name our records fail to give.

Thanking you in advance for any information you may be able to give me, and hoping for your early consideration, I am, 

Yours very truly,

[signed]
Mrs. E.A. Judd.
