Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Timothy Andrews of Connecticut, Israel Dewey, Bildad Fowler, John Fowler, John Ingersoll, Josiah Squire and Jabes Whitney of Massachusetts.

Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims made to the United for pension and bounty land based upon military service of soldiers in that war.

A search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the services of [illegible] Ingersoll, who served with the Massachusetts troops, or of any Israel Dewey, Bildad Fowler, Josiah Squire, and Jabez Whitney.

You are furnished herein the records of Timothy Andrews and John Fowler, as found in claims for pension, based upon their service in the War of the Revolution.  The record of Timothy Andrews is that of the only soldier by that name found on file in the Revolutionary War records of this office, and the record of John Fowler is that of the only John Fowler, who served with the Massachusetts troops, found on file in said records.

I am looking up my ancestors to see if I am eligible to the D.A.R. Society and find Timothy Andrews was my great grandfather.  I also find that one of the same name was in the Revolutionary War & I wish to know if they are the same.  He was wounded & received a pension while residing in New York, I believe, tho' he enlisted in Mattock's Regiment from Connecticut Will you please tell me when he died & when the payments ceased & greatly oblige Nellie L.
