Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter relative to soldiers of the Revolutionary War and War of 1812.
Revolutionary War and War of 1812 data furnished by this office are obtained from claims made to the United States for pension based upon military service of soldiers in those wars.

A careful search of the records fails to show a
claim for pension on file on account of the services of John A. VanDerWerken or Simon Fuller in the Revolutionary War or Albert VanDerWerken as described by you or Jacob VanDerWerken in the War of 1812, all spellings of the names searched. 

The Revolutionary War record has been found of one Simeon Fuller of Steuben, New York. His record follows as found in the papers on file in the claim for pension, S13107, based upon his military service in that war.
The date and place of birth and the names of the parents of Simeon Fuller are not shown.

He was allowed pension on his application executed July 4, 1832, at which time he was aged seventy years, and a resident of Steuben, Oneida County, New York.

In 1832, soldier's brother, Lot Fuller, was aged seventy- two years and living in Floyd, Oneida County, New York. There are no further family data.
