Mr. Warner
Sir:-
We have a record saying
that John or Jonathan Tutwiler
or Detwiler received pension
for services rendered during the
Revolutionary War. 
I would like to have his application for
pension as well as his war
record
The said man was born on
board the Halifax in the Harbour
Page 14

Plymouth about the year 1753. He married Barbara Wagner.

In 1818, he received pension and died somewhere around 1820. Barbara Wagner lived in Philadelphia County Penna, but exactly where John Tutwiler lived, I don't know. He served either in a Maryland or Pennsylvania regiment. Hoping I hear immediately.

Very Sincerely,
