Dear Sirs:-
Washington, D.C.
The undersigned is looking up the question as
to whether or not one Joseph Cook, who formerly lived in
Wallingford, Connecticut and later removed to Adams,
Jefferson County, New York served in the War of the
Revolution. I find the name of Joseph Cook on the
pension roll on page 326 of volume 2 showing that he was a
private, obtained an annual allowance of $80 and had
belonged to the Massachusetts Militia. He was placed on
the pension roll on December 24, 1832, his pension to
commence from March 1, 1831, his age at that time being
given as 74.
I would be pleased if you would furnish
me with such information as you can with regard to the
Joseph Cook above mentioned. I have been instructed to
write you by the New York Chapter of the Sons of the
Revolution.

Very truly yours,
