BA-J/MLB

Dear Sir:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Jonas Hobart who served from New Hampshire and received pension in Illinois.

You are furnished below the record of the only soldier named Jonas Hobart, under any spelling, found in the Revolutionary War records of this office. The data therein were obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, S. 35416, based upon his service in the Revolution, and upon disability incurred during that service.

The date and place of soldier's birth and names of his parents are not shown.

Jonas Hobart enlisted at Cockermouth, New Hampshire, in April, 1777, served as corporal in Captain John House's company, Colonel Joseph Cilley's New Hampshire Regiment, was in the battle of Hubbardton, in which he was wounded in his face and neck by a ball and was discharged in March, 1780.

[note at left on edge pointing to New Hampshire Regiment above]
next time use 1" N.H. Reg

On account of disability resulting from the above-noted injury, Jonas Hobart was pensioned from November 16, 1810, and his name was placed on the pension roll of the State of Vermont. He relinquished his invalid pension and applied for pension on account of service in the Revolutionary War on April 6, 1818, at which time he was aged seventy-four years and a resident of Saint Albans, Franklin County, Vermont.

In 1820, the soldier was still living in Saint Albans, Vermont, and referred to his wife then aged seventy-six years but did not give her name and it is not stated whether or not she survived him, and no names of children were given.
Page 11

In January, 1824, the soldier was residing in Illinois, where he had lately moved from Vermont. At that time he made an affidavit in Morgan County, that state, but did not state his place of residence.

Jonas Hobart died December 18, 1838,
