Commissioner of Pensions, Washington D.C.

Dear Sir: -
 One of the descendents of Jacob Elliott desires to complete the Elliott family record, but can find no record of the date of his death. He was a Revolutionary soldier in Capt. Isaac Parson's Co., New Gloucester date of enlistment, May 2, 1780, placed on pension roll April 18, 1833, age 70, annual allowance $26.68. The census of Pensioners A. D. 1840 gives his age 77, residence, Falmouth, Me. 

It is thought that he died in 1848, or 1849. He attended the Bunker Hill Celebration in 1843, and gave his age as 81. 

Yours respectfully, 
Leroy H. Rand, 10 Dunn St., Westbrook, Me.
