Dear Sir:
Please hand this to some person in your office that can give me the information that I desire and oblige you.  My father was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, served 4 years enlisted in a Pennsylvania regiment as a substitute for a man by the name of McSherry. Afterwards enlisted in the service for himself and never received a land warrant but drew a pension for past 8 or ten years of his life.  I think his Captain's name was Claypool.  I am the youngest son.  I wish to know if there is.   [page end]
Page 17

anything coming to him from the government is he entitled to a land warrant.  Some parties called on me some years ago and represented that he could get a warrant and back pay but I have heard nothing from them since.  My father's name was Redmon Condon.  He died 1825 or 1826.  

Please examine this matter and write to me at Ohio Pike Co.

Dear Sir:  In the published book of Rev.

Please also send me the record of service of any maternal ancestor Redmond Condon of Penn, who died in Ross. [page end]

Dear Sirs:
Under date of March 13th,1925 you wrote me in response to an inquiry concerning the above named soldier of the War of the American Revolution, that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim S.42658, that the soldier ("Redmun Condun") was allowed pension on his application executed April 20, 1818, while a resident to Ross County, Ohio.

The soldier was my ancestor, and died Jan. 8, 1830 in Ross County, Ohio.  His wife Nancy lived until 1853, in Pike County, Ohio, I think, during her later years.  I will be grateful to you if will inform me if she received a pension, and what information you may have concerning  her.
