Dear Sir:
As historian for our family association of America for a number of years, I am deeply interested in learning of the record of Peter Lash, who served in the State militia of New Jersey during the Revolutionary War, and was pensioned in 1834, when a resident of Wayne County, Ohio.

My forbears resided in New Jersey, later generations settling about (1845) in Blachleyville, Wayne County, Ohio, and finally removing further West.  This Peter Lash probably was the progenitor of the group, as I have record of letters from Peter Lash dated 1836 - 1850.

I would greatly appreciate, not an entire copy of pension application, but essential facts only, as place and date of birth, place of residence in New Jersey, and such names of parents or children as may appear.

Very truly yours,

Wm. Lester
