Mr. Earl J. Fellows,
1242 Westlake Ave.
Los Angeles, Calif.

Sir:

         In response to your letter which was received the fifth instant, you are herewith furnished the history of the only Abraham Tuttle found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau.
           From the papers in the pension claim, Survivor File No. 41, 268, it appears that Abraham Tuttle enlisted in Connecticut, place not stated, about the commencement of the Revolution and served as private, three tours of six months, eight months, and ten months,  each, in the Connecticut Troops, (dates of service and names of officers not given,) during which he was engaged in the battles at White Plains, Horse Neck, and Monmouth. In the Spring of 1781, he enlisted in Captain Hodges' Company, Colonel Sherman's Fifth Regiment of Connecticut, and in the Fall of 1783, he was transferred to Captain Taylor's Company, Colonel Swift's Connecticut Regiment and was discharged in the Spring of 1784
Page 11

      He was allowed pension, on his application executed April  25, 1818, while living in Rockingham, Vermont.  In 1820, he was sixty-two years old, and referred to his wife Abigail aged fifty-seven years, and daughter Philena aged twenty years.  There is no further data on file as to his family and the dates and places of his birth and death are not on record.
         A careful search of the records fails to show pension claims on file on account of the services of Nathaniel, Ephraim and William Tuttle, described by you, in the War of 1812, or in any of the Indian Wars in which the United States was engaged between the Revolution and War of 1812.

Very truly yours,

Washington Gardener
Commissioner.

Dear Sir:--

           Will you kindly furnish me with the Revolutionary war record of Abraham Tuttle who probably lived either in *Woodbury or Wallingsford, Connecticut.  Also any other war record which he many have, together with the war record of  **Nathaniel Tuttle who lived at New Haven, Wallingsford and Woodbury, Ct., and the record of William Tuttle, of Boston Mass., and Ephraim Tuttle of Woodbury, Ct.**

             The three named last would not have any Revolutionary record, but might have participated in some other war of which you may have a record.

             Mrs. Fellows is a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, National number 50341, and wishes to establish her identity with the Natl. Society of Daughters of Founders and Patriots of America, and any information which you can give her in regard to the records of the parties above named will be greatly appreciated by both Mrs. Fellows and myself.

              You may remember me as formerly living in Homer, Michigan and as president of the Calhoun State Bank for several years.  We have been living in Los Angles for the past ten years, and are very much in love with the country and climate.
