Dear Sir:

I wish to inquire if my ancestor Timothy
Reynolds, who served as captain in the
Revolutionary war, and is thought to have
enlisted from Litchfield Co. Conn.,
was a pensioner? He was born in Greenwich, Conn., May 13th 1733, and his father was
Eben Reynolds of Greenwich and Horseneck, and Timothy's wife was Amy Knapp.
The Connecticut records are very incomplete,
and I have been unable to
obtain definite information. An early
reply will be greatly appreciated.
Yours very Truly

The undersigned Freeholders and Inhabitants of Westchester County in the State of New York having seen the application signed by Ezra Lockwood & others and also the accompaning
affidavits of several Individuals which were presented to the Secretary of War in order to get the Pension of Timothy Reynolds suspended, and from the knowledge we have of sd
Timothy Reynolds his age his infirmities his character as a sober peaceable Citizen and all the attendant circumstances relative to his meeting and obtaining a Pension from his Government - We cannot but experience astonishment at the conduct of the men and the means used by them in order to deprive this poor Soldier of that Solace and means of support in his declining years that the government of his Country has been pleasd to provide for him; and we do verily believe and that belief
is founded on the fact that we are well acquainted with the Character of the said Timothy Reynold that he the sd
Timothy did not obtain his Pension by fraud and Imposition neither has he made use of his Pension money in litigation as is alledged but that he has very prudently laid out the money in building a house for his family and procuring these necessaries for himself them as need requires, and that he is a Sober, peaceable Infirm man with a large family and that he really stands in need of the Assistance of his Country for support
as we trust the accompanying affidavit will evidently show-
