By the certificate of the Register of the Land Office of Maryland it appears that he enlisted on the 4th July 1776 and was discharged on the 20th of December in that year having served but 5 mons and 16 days. As therefore his the law of 7 June 1832 under which he claimed, demands from every applicant a service of six months, his claim has been rejected, and his papers are returned according to the usage of the office.

Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the revolutionary war records of George Merritt, born in England, settled in Connecticut, about 1767, and later lived in Chataugua County, New York; Samuel Jewett of Connecticut or New York; Oliver Brown of Massachusetts or Connecticut; and Henry Bean of Prince Georges County, Maryland, and the war of 1812 records of Henry and Thomas Bayne, Highland County, Ohio; John Patchen of Connecticut and New York; and Thomas Merritt born in Connecticut, lived later in New York and in Pennsylvania.

Because of the great demand for revolutionary war and war of 1812 data, and the limited trained clerical force available for furnishing such information, it is impossible to comply in full with each request pertaining to soldiers of those wars. The records of Henry H Bean, revolutionary war soldier of Maryland and that of John Patchen War of 1812 soldier residence state of New York are furnished you herewith.

Very truly yours
