Dear Sirs:
I am informed that John Van Winkle of Elizabeth, N. J., a Revolutionary
war private soldier, took out a pension for his services.
This, I believe, was in 1828. Could you inform me as to the date of
his death? I suppose you will have record of same. Also can you give
me the name, or the birth and death record of his wife which I understand
was living in 1829. I can by this tell if it was his first wife.
I shall very much appreciate any consideration you may see fit and
be able to show me in this matter, for the information is imperative
to me for organization membership purposes.
Very respectfully yours,
