Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your request for the records of Revolutionary War soldiers, Jeremiah Hotchkiss and Thomas Hadlock, who received pensions while living in Chenango County, New York.

The record of Thomas Hadlock is furnished you herein as found on file in pension claim, W. 487, based upon the military service of this soldier.
He was born July 15, 1759, at East Windsor, Hartford County, Connecticut.
While a resident of East Windsor, Connecticut, he enlisted and served as private with the Connecticut troops as follows: from the spring of 1776, seven months in Captain Simeon Wolcott's company in Colonel Fisher Gay's regiment: he served about two months under Sergeant Root as one of the guard of General Prescott when he was taken prisoner at Newport; from about the last of September, 1777, he served three months in Captain David Johnson's company in Colonel Walbridge's regiment; from 1778, four months as teamster under Captain Simeon Belknap and was engaged in carrying provisions, clothing, etc., for the army; from the spring of 1779, two months in Captain Wells' company; from September, 1779, two months in Captain Jonathan Bush's company; in 1780 he served in Captain Stephen Bett's company in Colonel Charles Webb's regiment and was discharged about the first of January, 1781.
