Dear Madam:
 The Data which follow in regard to John H Dumond were obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, R.@117, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
  The date and place of birth of John H Dumond and names of his parents were not given.
  John H Dumond married Catharine Shafer March 7, 1789, in Middletown (in that part of Ulster County which later became Delaware County) New York. The date and place of birth od Catharine and name of her parents are not shown. The soldier died April 7, 1823, in Middletown, New York.
  Catharine Dumond, as widow of John H Dumond, applied October 10, 1854, at the age of eighty years, while living in Middletown, New York, for pension which might have been due on account of the service of her husband in the Revolutionary War. It was alleged that he enlisted late April 1782, in Ulster County, New York, to serve until January 1, 1783, that he served in Captain Henry Pawling's company, Colonels John Snyder's and Fredrick Weisenfels 'New York regiments, length of service or further details not stated.
  Her claim for pension was not allowed as she failed to furnish proof of service of six months of her husband, in accordance with the requirements of the pension law. 
No reference was made in claim to children of John H. Dumond and his wife Catharine.

John H. Dumond's sister Nelly, who was born June 29, 1774, signed her name Nelly Yaple in 1854, when she was residing in Middletown, Delaware County, New York, the name of her husband was not given.

The affidavit of Jacobus Davenport has been examined and filed with
the papers in the care of Catharine Dumond
of N. York
Before I can regard his testimony
as conclusive in the case he must state
particularly have he knows of this enlistment
of her husband, and how he was cognizant
of the manner of his proving his service in
1783. He must state such facts in relation to the regiment regiment in
which he served and the service rendered
as will enable me to judge of the accuracy of his recollection-the
date of
the marriage must be proved as heretofore, required

Dear Madam:
  Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of John Young, of Coxhackie, Greene County, New York, the record of any soldier with surname Dumont or Dumond of Greene or Albany County, New York, whose daughter, Elizabeth, married After Youmans who was born about 1765(too young, you think, to have served in the Revolutionary War) and live later in Coeymans, Albany (later Greene)County, New York, and in 1810 were living in Coxhackie, also the record of Peter Fries who served in the New Jersey line and dies near Bloomsburg, Columbia County, Pennsylvania.
  There is no claim for pension or bounty land on file based upon service in the Revolutionary War of a John Young of Greene County m New York, nor of any county adjacent to Greene, nor for service of a Peter Fries who served in the New Jersey troops or who is shown to have resided in Columbia Count, Pennsylvania,  nor for service of an After Youmans who could have served in the Revolutionary War if he were born in 1765. All spellings of the surname were used in the search of the records.
  The record has been found of one John Dumond (under any spellin of the name) of New York State. His record is furnished you herewith.

According to the History
Of Green Co. N.Y. or any border county- there was a none of John Young"
Revolutionary soldier, living in
Coxsackie. I do not know what he 
was a pensioner, but if so, will
you please send me all the 
Genealogical data and the record
of service contained in his papers.

And do you have the pension
record of any Soldier by the name
of "Dument or Dumond" from ?
or Albany Co. N.Y. !

An "Elizabeth DuMond" married 
"After Youmans." He was born about
Page 25

1756 and was evidently too young
to have sewed in the Revolution-
He and wife Elizabeth DuMond, lived
for a time in Coeymans, which is in
Green Co. now but formerly in Albany Co. 
In the census of 1810 they were living 
in Cox Sackie.

I want the ancestry of this DuMond
family and would need the record?
of a DuMond, who had a daughter, 
"Elizabeth", who married "After Youmans"

And? 131? the History of Columbia Co. Penn.
not a
States that "Peter Fries", who died near 
Blomesbrug? - that? Co. was a Revolutionary
Soldier, serving in the New Jersey Line.

If he was a pensionee, will you
please send any data contained in
his papers

Anything you  can do to help me will
be must? gratefully appreciated -
