Gentlemen,
Will you kindly let me know whether you have on your books any record of a soldier named Bogardus living in Coxsackie, New York, to whom a pension was granted for service in the Revolutionary War? I do not know the first name of this man or anything about him except that he is supposed to have been in the battle of Brandywine, and to have been drawing a pension at about the year 1820 and perhaps later. If you can find any record of such a man I should be very grateful if you would let me know any information about him that your records show.
Yours sincerely,
John J. Parry
