Sir:
In response to your letter dated the fifth instant, you are
advised that the papers in the claim R. File No. 5112 Rev. War,
show that on September 5, 1832, Chloe Hoyt of Rutland County, Vt

late husband Deacon Nehemiah [return to typewritten] Hoyt of Castleton, Vermont.
It is stated that he served between two and three years as 
a Private, Corporal and Sergeant; that he was under Colonel Ethan
Allen at the taking of Ticonderoga, after which, he enlisted in
the Spring of 1775, in Captain Noah Lee's company at Skeeneborough
N.Y. where he remained six months, when he enlisted into Captain
Painter's company, Colonel Easton's regiment of Massachusetts
troops for service in Canada.
Soldier married in September, 1828, Chloe -----, and he

[typewritten] Her claim was never allowed for the reason that there was
no provision of law granting pensions to the widows of Revolu-
tionary War soldiers at the date on which she applied.
