Mr. Nelson C. Hawks, California Camera Company, Corner Haight Avenue & 6th Street, Alameda, California.

The name Winthrop Roe, or Rose, has not been found on the rolls, on file in this Department, of any organization or Connecticut, New York, or Continental troops in service in the War of the Revolution. 
The collection of Revolutionary War records in this Department is, however, far from complete, and it is suggested as a possibility that the desired information can be obtained from the Adjutant General of Connecticut, Hartford, or from the Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D. C. H. Dominick the Adjutant General (A. G. O. 72-1) Per 1st

Will you kindly correct an error in the name of my great-grandfather, Winthrop Roe, which stands on the records as Winthrop Rose, in the Pension Dept.
He applied for pension May 2, 1818, at which time he was 70 years old, and resided at Union, N. Y.  Was a private in the Connecticut troops, a part of the time under Col. Webb and Capt. Tuttle. He enlisted at Litchfield, Conn.
I would like very much to know the nature of his wound as my mother has told me he was wounded.
With my mother I visited his family at Union, N. Y. in 1864. And I have also since visited the grave yard near Binghamton where he is buried, and read his name on the tombstone.
I have neglected this duty of having proper correction made of his name, for many years. Now, I am desirous of joining the Society of the Sons of the Revolution, and would be grateful for a full report of the old soldier. Yours Nelson C. Hawks

Mr. Nelson C. Hawks, Corner Haight Avenue & 6th Street, Alameda, California.
Sir:
In response to your letter dated the 1st and received the 6th instant, you are advised that the Revolutionary War claim, Inv. File No. 4S,968, was allowed to Winthrop Rose and that the name Roe does not appear in the papers in said claim, nor is it stated that he received a wound in the service.
A careful search of the Revolutionary War records fails to show that a claim for pension was ever filed on account of the services of any soldier named Winthrop Roe. 
Very respectfully,

Commissioner.
