was my Great-Great-Grand father born in Maryland about 1750 near Baltimore.  My Grand fathers mother's maiden name was Mary Yount of North Carolinia some where on the Gad[ ] lines.
My Great Grand father's name was Thomas Marlatt born near Martinsburg Verginia.  He was in the War of 1812 and drew a pention for serice and also got Govment Script for land which is located in Wayne Co. Ind. in 1820 or perhaps in 1821 or 1822.  I think he was related to the Ohio Marlatts.  Would you be kind enough to help me trace an ancestor back to the Revolution.  I shall appreciate the favor very much

Sirs.
For some months I have been making a desperate effort to trace my acnestry with little result so far.  It was suggested you might help me, my giving you what little information I have at hand.
I am a descendant of Abraham Marlatt of Virginia,  I believe, have a second cousin, Walter Marlatt of Kenosha Wis. who is an S.A.R.  It seems impossible to get much that will help me from him.  As my papers must be complete within the next three months in order to be a member of the D.A.R. Chapter of Hamilton, I am writing you in the hopes I might get some valuable information.
Thanking you, I am.
Yours truly,

Dear Sir:
I should like very much to have you transcribe from your files the records of pensions granted on account of service in the Revolutionary War of a person or persons bearing the name of Abram or Abraham Marlatt.  I believe there were more than one person of this or these names who were in the colonial forces from Virginia, one of whom was my great-grandfather. 
My great-grandfather received a pension for his services beginning a good many years after the close of the Revolutionary War, and his widow some time after his death was also the recipient of a pension.  I should like to have as full data as possible covering this subject, and actual dates when pensions were granted to both the Revolutionary soldier and his widow, and the army corps or officers in which or under whom he served.  
I made a request similar to this for information in 1896, which was very courteously replied to by your Office, but I am led to believe that data concerning the wrong Marlatt was furnished. 
Thanking you most heartily in advance, I am,
Very truly yours, 
C L Marlatt
