The Honorable
Commissioner of Pensions, (O. W. & N. Div.)
Washington, D. C.

Dear Sir:
A few days ago you were kind enough to furnish me with a memorandum
giving the record of Israel Mead, a pensioner of the revolutionary
war, the information being desired to establish the
eligibility of the descendants of Mr. Mead, (my great-grandfather )
to membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution.

The memorandum was not satisfactory to the relatives, as it
gave the record of an Israel Mead whose residence at the time of
applying for the pension was "Candor, Tioga Co., N.Y. while it was
known that our ancestor lived at Genoa, Cayuga County, N. Y. when he
applied for the pension. Since then the following facts have
been ascertained from the-
