Dear Sir:
Your courteous note I received with thanks.
It may be possible that Mrs. Ellinor, Eleanor, Fugate or (Fugette) was a pensioner of the Am. Rev. War.
Family records were burned.  She died in the 80s and was ninety three or four years old.
Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry (1812) was her cousin.
I am anxious to get reliable information about her which I can get from your office only.
