Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Thomas Davis Conover, whose widow, Abigail, you state, was pensioned while a resident of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
A careful search of the Revolutionary War records of his office has been made and no claim for pension or bounty land found based upon service in that war of a Thomas Davis Conover, under any spelling of the surname.  The record has been found, however, of a Thomas Conover or Cowenhoven (the family signed both ways) whose widow, Abigail, received a pension on account of his service.  That record follows as shown in the papers of pension claim, W. 3074, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
The date and place of birth of Thomas Conover or Cowenhoven and names of his parents were not given.
While residing in Monmouth County, New Jersey, Thomas Conover volunteered with his brother, Lewis, in February or March, 1776, served as private in Captain Benjamin Randolph's company; they served together until April or May, 1776, when he was placed under Captain William Remsen in the New Jersey troops.  Thomas marched from New Jersey into Pennsylvania where he was in the battle of Germantown, but Lewis remained in New Jersey engaged in guarding the coast.  After the battle Thomas returned to New Jersey, continued to serve in Captain William Remsen's New Jersey troop of horse, was in the battle of Monmouth June 28, 1778, and continued to serve until sometime in 1780.  During his service, it was stated, he was taken prisoner by the enemy more than once.
Thomas Conover or Cowenhoven died December 17, 1819, in Hunterdon County, New Jersey.
Page 11

Thomas Conover or Cowenhoven married in May, 1787, Abigail cook.  The date and place of her birth and names of parents were not stated.
Abigail Conover was allowed pension on her application executed November 28, 1838, at shich time she was aged seventy-five years and a resident of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
William B. Conover, son of Thomas and Abigail Conover, was living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1838, and in 1843 gave as his address: "In care of Joseph Fallman, Corner Market and 6th Street, that city, no relationship to Joseph Fallman stated.
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, the name and address of the person paid and possibly the date of death of soldier's widow, Abigail, you should write the Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following data:  Abigail Conover, widow of Thomas, certificate #2418, issued October 24, 1843, rate $100 per annum, commenced March 4, 1843, Act of March 3, 1843, Pennsylvania Agency.

Dear Madam;
Last summer I called at your office and copied a part of the record - deposition of Mrs. Abigail Conover, widow of a Revolutionary War Veteran.  I seem to have lost it.  Would it be too much trouble for you to copy off that part of the record that will give me his records of enlistment, rank, experiences, and discharge.  I had hoped to come to the office in person to do this, but I can't seem to find it feasible.
Sincerely yours,
