To The Commissioner of Pensions -

Sir: I am looking up the Record a of Revolutionary ancestor Jacob Hartshorn of Bristol Rhode Island.  The War Dep't Wash. D.C. give me the following:

One Jacob Hartshorn served - Rev. War as a Private in Cap't James Burrill's Company Col. Jabez Borren's command of Rhode Island Militia - He is shown to have entered service April 2, 1778, and to have been engaged from that date to April 16, 1778 

Nothing further relative to this man has been found of record -
Can you supply any further Record? The State Commission of Providence R.I. states that "his name is not a record from ["Bristol R.I." crossed out] Rhode Island - where did he serve from? Are War Dept Records - more correct - also any information - his wife's name?
