Marcus (Marks) Petrie [Petrie is underlined]  (or Petry) was killed in the Revolution (Battle of Oriskany) his wife was Anna Eva, Kessler, Will you tell me please if the widow ever made application for pension, if so may I have a copy of her application?,

A typed copy will do, I do not need photostat, they had a son Johan Jost Petrie, born about 1738, who also was in service, he married May 5. 1766 Catharine Kessler, and the last child I have record of was born in 1777.  Please also tell me if he or his widow ever made application for pension?, I do not know when he died, they were all of the Mohawk Valley, Montgomery Co. N. Y.

Thank you for the anticipated reply,

Dear Sirs -
Can you give me any further information
regarding the following record which was copied from the partly burned Revolutionary War manuscript in the New York State Library at Albany?

"Johannes Petri [Petri is underlined] - Sept. 22, 1787, aged 37 years, Private in Capt. Small's Company, Colonel Bellinger's Reg. Wounded in the shoulder and back at the Battle of
Oriska Aug. 6, 1777, $1.00 per mon."

My gr. gr. grandfather was named Johannes Petri and his wife was Barbara Klock, B. Mar. 10, 1751, as the birth date of the above Johannes Petri would be 1750 it seems to me he might prove to be the right one, and if there is any information in Washington to
prove it and also anything further about him
I would greatly appreciate it if you would let me have the information. Thank you.
yours truly

Dear Madam:

In a report of the Secretary of War printed in 1835 in relation to the pension establishment of the United States is found the name
Johannes Petri. This soldier received an annual allowance of $12 for disability incurred during his service as private in the Revolutionary War. 
 He is listed among the invalid pensioners inscribed on the roll of New York Agency whose residence and other information cannot be ascertained in consequence of the destruction of the papers by a fire in the War Office in November, 1800.

Because of the destruction of papers in the claim, this office is unable to furnish any further data relative to Johannes Petri and no
data whatever in regard to his family.

This is the only Johannes Petri ( name does not appear as Johan Jost Petrie) that is found in the Revolutionary War records of this
office.

Very truly yours
