319 West 18" Street
New York June 3rd 1889
To the Honorable Commissioner of
Pensions
Dear Sir I write to know if the Department can furnish me the following information.
1st From what part of Long Island New York or Orange County New York did Solomon Tuthill enlist in the Revolutionary War
2nd Was he enlisted in the army or militia
3rd What Regiment or Company was he in
4th What rank did he hold?
It is possible the records may have
the name spelled Tuttle instead of
Tuthill as the name is often misspelled
The original name was Tuthill
The older
members in my family
are dead who were familiar with the
Page 12

facts and the records which should
have property [illegible] seem to
have been lost.
Also I would like the same
information in reference to
John Knapp or Elijah Knapp
who enlisted from Danbury
Connecticut after the Brittish burned
that town. This Knapp was
named either John or Elijah and
did service in the Continental
army principally in New Jersey
although I think he enlisted
from Danburry Connecticut where he
lived and did business and
manufacturer of Woolen Cloth
until the enemy burned him
out after which he entered the
Army. I will be very
grateful for any information
on these cases that the
Department may be able to
furnish. If there is any
Page 13

expense attending the search I will be glad to pay oit.
Respectfully 
Theodore K. Tuthill M.D.

In accordance with your request of the 3rd instant you will receive enclosed a statement on Separate sheets, of so much History of
Solomon Tuttle &and Elijah or John Knapp as is contained in their
application for pension,
The above is the only Solomon Tuttle or Tuthill found on record who could appear as the one of your enquiry except a Salomone Tuttle on the casualty book for New York soldiers who enlisted for 9 months from May 1778 under Captain Pell in 2nd New York regiment. 
It is suggested that by application to the Secretary of that state you might ascertain his residence, and also to the 3rd auditor U.S. Treasury for residence etc of Elijah Knapp as shown by Vouchers
owing to your uncertainty of the christian names several
John Knapps have been added for your information
