Dear Madam:
I advise you that the records of this bureau show
that Ebenezer Lewis was allowed pension for his service
as a private in the Revolutionary War, at the rate of
$8.00 per month from November 3, 1818, on a certificate,
No. 5814, issued January 26, 1819, at the New York Agency.

There is no further information relative to said pensioner
in this bureau. The papers of his claim were
missing from the Revolutionary War files when they were
reviewed and arranged in 1370 and have not been found
since.

It may be proper to add, that the list of pensioners
printed in 1835, shows Ebenezer Lewis aged sixty-eight
years, resident of Oneida County, New York, pensioned under
the Act of 1818, at $96.00 per annum from November 3,
1818, for service as a private of the Connecticut Line in
the Revolutionary War.

Very truly yours
EARL D. CHURCH
Commissioner.

Connecticut soldiers 1775 - 1848, shows his name on page 643,
a Connecticut pensioner under Act of 1818 residing in New York.
This claim does not appear in its place in the Revolutionary
War flat files, neither is it recorded in the Old War Invalid
or Widows' books, which shows that it was not in the files
to receive a file number when those books were made in 1870.
Certificate No. 5514 does not appear on the Old War Invalid
book, proving that it did not belong to a Lewis of a different
name.
