Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Asa Cheadle, and furnish a copy

The data which follow are shown in the papers on file in pension claim, W. 14464, based upon service of Asa Cheadle in the Revolutionary War. The Veterans Administration is now
custodian of the Revolutionary War pension claims
Asa Cheadle was born August 5, 1762, in Ashford, Connecticut; the names of his parents are not shown. At the time he
entered service, he resided in Barnard, Vermont, on the frontier.
He entered the service in 1777, served in Captain John Strong's company under Major Joab Hoisington engaged in scouting and
guarding the frontier; he enlisted in 1778, and served six months in Captain Jesse Safford's company under Major Whitcomb, a part of the
time engaged in building a fort at Rutland; in 1779, he served under Colonel Eben Allen for six months, engaged in erecting a fort at Pittsford; in 1780, he served under Captain Benjamin, engaged at Barnard and Bethel; in 1781, he served six months under Lieutenant
Green and Colonel Wait; and in 1782, he served under Captain Beriah Green
in that same vicinity. His entire service amounted to between three
and four years.
The soldier resided in Barnard, Vermont, until 1800, when he moved to Washington County, Ohio.
Asa Cheadle was allowed pension on his application executed October 25, 1832, at which time he resided in Roxbury, Washington County,
Page 17

Ohio. He had resided there since 1800 with the exception of one year during which he resided in Athens, Ohio, about ten miles distant.
Asa Cheadle died September 16, 1836 in Morgan County, Ohio.
The soldier married August 22, 1816 in Waterford Township, Morgan
or Washington County adjoining, Ohio, Sarah Divens (Devin); the
names of her parents were not stated.
Sarah Cheadle, the soldier's widow, was allowed pension on her application executed January 11, 1856, at which time she was aged seventy-three years.

Her application was dated April 7, 1855 under the Act of March 3, 1855. Soldier's widow was living in Morgan County, Ohio, in 1869, her post office address then, Chester Hill.
When the soldier's widow made application for land in 1855, Quincy A. Cheadle and Samuel M. Evans, residents of Morgan County, were present. In 1869, when said widow made affidavit in regard to her pension, Eliza Moore and Eliza Cheadle were present. No relationship between these persons and the soldier's family was stated.
If you desire information in regard to the location of the land which was granted on account of service of Asa Cheadle in the Revolutionary War, you should address the Commissioner, General Land Office, this
city, and furnish that official the following data: warrant #26827-160-55.

By reason of old age and the consequent loss of memory he is unable to state positively as to the periods of the war neither is he able to state positively as to the length of service but says it was not less than three years and six months and believes it was four years as a private soldier having no other business but the service of my country in the revolutionary war also the years states in my former declaration the reason he did not get a clergyman's certificate as to his age and the general belief of his services was there was no clergyman that has resided in the neighborhood long enough to know any think about it and having two witnesses that were knowing to my service it was thought unnecessary He claims a pension for four years services as a private soldier and further this deponent saith not

Sir, 
I have the honor to return herewith blank as fully filled out as my knowledge of the will warrant. I desire to state that the purpose of this inquiry is wholly for historical and genealogical purposes.
It is presumed that Asa Chedel Jr. was a pensioner. My grandfather, Asa Foster, (Joseph 6, John 5, Jonathan 4, Thomas 3, Thomas 2, Thomas 1), born Ware, Mass., Oct. 11, 1761 married Barnard, Vt., Oct. 7, 1784, Ruth Chedle, born April 24, 1765, in Ashford, Connecticut.  She died, Stockholm, N. Y., April 29, 1829, D. of Asa Chedle and wife Martha Paddock.
I also append a copy of record just received from State Library, Albany, N. Y.
Respectfully yours,
/s/Wm Davis Foster
