WASHINGTON, D. C., April 21, 1894. 
Sir:- 
Referring to the request for the Revolutionary history of Naboth Levis, you are advised that on May 27, 1818, at which time was a resident of Littleton, New Hampshire, and sixty-three years of age, he made an application for pension in which he stated that he enlisted in December, 1777, and served as a Corporal in Capt. Benjamin Talmadge's company, Col. Elisha Sheldon's regiment of Light Dragoons until the 12th day of June, 1783, when he was honorably discharged at Dunbar, Connecticut.  He participated in the battle of Germantown and upon being discharged was presented by General Washington with a badge of merit for five years faithful service. It does not appear that he held a higher rank than that of corporal. 
No record has been found of an application for pension for the services of Elkanah Hoskins, which fact renders the Bureau unable to supply you with his military history.  It is presumed that ye will have no difficulty in obtaining a statement of his
Page 21

services from the Revolutionary Archives of the State of Massachusetts.
