I learned from an old paper published at Buffalo N.York, in the year 1818 that a certificate of pension granted on the 18th of January of that year for Henry Francisco (an old revolutionary soldier) of Whitehall N.Y. Aged then one hundred thirty years. Which pension, (it is alledged by said Franciscos' daughter now living in this town, said Francisco never during his lifetime received and that if paid by the {illegible] it was to a man living in this State from whence it is now due to the heirs of said Francisco.
You will please inform me whether such a commission was ever granted, if so to whom? and if not granted whether proof of said Henry Francisco's being a pensioner under the pension laws should be admissable [admissible] to obtain the pension Said Francisco was during his lifetime entitled to for his Legal heirs
I believe said Francisco died about the years A.D. 1825 to 1831

Page 22

what months he served he served in, if you know please also what his service, or any information at all that you have there of that gentleman if you will. I have a history of that gentleman written by professor Seliman in 1820 and reprinted in 1834 and it speak in there of his drawing a pension up until the year he died, and of serving in most of the early wars of this country. I am investigating so as to join the Daughters

To the Secretary:
I wish to know whether HENRY FRANCISCO, born, I believe, August 17th 1745, and probably at Horseneck, or at least in Essex Co.,
New Jersey, but this is not certain- asked for or received a pension for his service from Albany Co., New York? He would perhaps have served under Capt. Vanderhoof or Woolsey, and under Col. John Knickerbocker and Peter Yates, as did his brother.
He may have been born in New York state or elsewhere, instead of in New Jersey.
I would like all details which are given as to Birthplace and death and time of asking for pension, in case this record is found.
Yours very truly,

My dear Sir: some confusion has arisen in our organization in the application for membership of two descendants of a Henry Francisco who is alleged to have served in the Rev. war in the patriot army.  There seems to be some confusion as to the identity of the soldier, who is alleged to have died at the extreme age of 134 years on Oct 10, 1820.  He is said to have been a pensioner in some way.

Will you please tell me if such a man appears on your records?
