Sir
Yours of the 9th inst. in relation to the application of Betsey Parmelee for Pension due her father John Angier at the time of his death was rcvd [received]. I was aware that the certificate of the Secretary of State of New Hampshire did not furnish evidence of sufficient service to authorize him for a Pension. But tradition in her family says that he served as Lieut under Genl or Col Reed of New Hampshire or Mass. I believe there was two Genl Reeds, one of New Hampshire & the other of Mass. Members of his family have heard him say that he served under one of them as Lieut & near the close of the war was appointed Capt, but did not receive his commission. I wish you would examine all the records you had in relation to the service of both of the Reeds & I think you will find evidence of the service of John Angier.
Respectfully yours
Otis P. Granger

Madam:
In reply to your request for the military history of John Angier, a solider of the Recolutionary [Revolutionary] War, you are advised that an application for pension on account of his services was madea [made] at Hamiliton, Madison Co., N.Y., October 22, 1851, in behalf of his only surviving child, Betsey Parmelee, then upwards of seventy years of age.
It is alleged that the soldier was born September 8, 1744, resided in New Hampshire during the war, and served as a Lieutenant under Col. Reed on the Continental Establishment, and died September 5, 1833. His wife died January 10, 1814. Her name is not mentioned.
The report from the Secretary of the State of New Hampshire shows the name John Anger borne on the following rolls:
Sergeant, Capt. Joseph Parker, Col. Enoch Hale, mustered and paid July 18, 1776.
Private, Capt. John Mellin, June 28, 1777, 4 days.
Lieutenant, Capt. James Lewis, Col. Enoch Hale, August 8, 1778, 23 days.
This claim was rejected on the ground that the above services were less than six months, which was the minimum requirement.
Very respectfully,
Acting Commissioner.

Sir
I have rec'd and examined the papers in the case of John Angier dec'd under the Act of 7 June 1832. Among them I can find no declaration made by the heir, but in this case it is thought to be unnecessary, for even of all the service referred to in the Certificate of the Secretary of State of N.H. was performed by the claimants father it would not amount to as much as six months, and for a less period of service no pension can he be granted.

Gentlemen-
Will you kindly give me all the information you can regarding the service of John Angier in the war of the Revolution. We know that he served in the state of New Hampshire, but the buildin [building] in which the records of that service was kept was burned. He also served in Vermont, and there is a record of his promotion from Lieutenant to Captain in that state.
This much was learned by a lawyer who looked up his record many years ago, in view of a pension, but the papers are not easy of access at present.
I wish this information to establish my eligibility to become a D.A.R.

Sir:-
As I desire to join the Daughters of the American Revolution, I am anxious to secure a record of the service of my paternal ancestor, John Anger [Angier]. He was a captain and served two states, New Hampshire and Vermont, all through the Revolution. Application for pension was made from Madison County, New York, by his only daughter Betsey Pamelee, but was rejected, as the records in New York State were burned and the term of service in the other states was not of sufficient length to secure a pension.
I would appreciate it if you will kindly give me what information you can regarding John Anger's service.
Thanking you for your assistance, and trusting I may hear from you promptly, I remain,
Very respectfully yours,
