Nathan Hubble,
Revolutionary War.

March 28, 1904.


Sir:

In reply to your letter of the [illegible] instant relating to the
military record of Nathan Hubble, a soldier of the Revolutionary
war, I have to inform you that he was pensioned as a major, for
disability incurred in the service, as early as March 4, 1801, and
died December 27,  1801.

His application for pension is not on file, as the papers
filed in such claims prior to 1814 were destroyed that year by
fire.

There is no record in this Bureau of claims filed for the
services of Henry McCarthy, Henry [illegible], or William [illegible].

See supplemental statement for the military record of Henry
McCartney.

Very respectfully, 
Acting Commissioner.

Gentlemen 

Will you or can you give me
some information about Nathan Hubble,
Major, a Revolutionary pensioner of
Penna. who died April. 1802?

I have been trying to look up my
Revolutionary ancestors in order to
join the Sons of the Revolution and
I dont know how to get them.
They left no records.

My great grand father Henry M Carthy
lived in Delaware before the war,
died in Huntingdon Co., Pa., in 1836
aged 88 Think he was under Wayne
at Paoli, but dont know what state
he enlisted from or whether he ever
got a pension. His captain was
killed, I think at Paoli, but I do not
remember the captain's name.

My grandfather, Henry Hubbell
(or Hubble) died in Huntingdon Co., Pa
in 1827 aged 73. Before the revolution
lived in New Jersey but I dont
know where he enlisted from nor
in what command or whether
he was ever on pension list.
Page 14

He crossed the Delaware with Washington,
was near him and heard him
cheering the men as they got in the
boats, was at Trenton, Princeton, Brandywine,
Germantown and Monmouth.
a good record. was probably all
through the war, but I dont know.

His (future) father-in-law, William Bunn
was with him in the same company
and in the same campaigns. He
(Wm Bunn, my great-grandfather) died in
Huntingdon Co., Pa. date not given.
I dont know if he was a pensioner.

My great-grandfather, father of Henry
Hubbell, was Nathan or Nathaniel Hubbell
He was a major or lieutenant Colonel, I
think in the same regiment with Henry
Hubbell and William Bunn. He was at
battle of Monmouth and I think in
all the others of Washington's campaigns
in Pa. and N. Jersey. He
died in Huntingdon Co., Pa

We have been hunting for records of these
old soldiers but have not succeeded in
finding any and all this while did
not think of writing to your Revolutionary
Pension Bureau. But
lately I find in a book I got
of a library here a partial list
of Revolutionary Soldiers, (of a
Page 15

few regiments and companies )
and a list of officers drawing
pensions and I find in it
this entry in the Penna list.

Name | office | County | Time of Death
Nathan Hubble, Major - April - 1802

The County is not given else we
might be more certain whether this
is my great grandfather. He died
in Huntingdon Co. very early in the
century but we have no record of
the date of his death nor any
papers relating to him.

Can you give us from your
records any information about
him or about either of the
others I have mentioned?

very truly your
