I am desirous of some information concerning my great-great grandfather, Hinds Reed, who served in the year of 1776, so I can join the Sons of the Revolution. Hinds Reed enlisted when fifteen years old as drummer and served under his father Janus Reed, through the revolution in the second N.H. regiment. He was born June 6th 1758, died September 6th, 1847 Buried at Concern

He was a revolutionary pensioner, (Will you please furnish me with an abstract of the original application for a pension, which will furnish the names of company & regimental commanders, and the probable duration of his service?

Yours truly
