Gentlemen:-
Joseph Warren, Rev. Soldier (1760-1849) a pensioner. Served under Captain. Stephen Childs, Col. Bond's Regt, Mass. in 1776. Also enlisted Jan. 1, 1777, 1 yr., 10 mos. Capt. John Draper, Swan, and Col Patterson.

Will you please tell me what Town and State, these Captains and Colonels and Regiments were from?

I am trying to locate the place Joseph Warren, came from or enlisted from, in order to trace his parentage if possible. He is believed to have been a cousin   of Gen. Joseph Warren's. Also that of his first wife Elizabeth Woodward. A story handed down in the family is "Joseph Warren was not married when he was in the war, a soldier was wounded beside him, and he took him on his back and carried him away, and it proved to be the brother of the girl whom he afterward married."

Was a Woodward in the company with Joseph Warren above? If so will you kindly give me his name? If there is a charge for sending data, please let me know and I will send it to you.
Respectfully, (Mrs. J.A.) Jessie W. Roberts

Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the name of the town and state from which the following officers were, Captains Childs, John Draper and Swan, Colonels Bond and Patterson, under whom Joseph Warren served.  You state that you need this information in order to locate the place of birth or enlistment of Joseph Warren and the names of his parents, and to obtain the same information in regard to his first wife, Elizabeth Woodward.

Information furnished by the Veterans Administration in regard to Revolutionary War soldiers are obtained from claims for pension and bounty land which have been made to the United States based upon service in that war.  This office is unable to give you the information you desire.  The papers in pension claim, W. 4378, of Joseph Warren have been reexamined, and no record has been found of any soldier with the surname Woodward.  This soldier's widow, Hannah, stated that he was a resident of Connecticut when he enlisted, but did not name the town or county.

It is suggested that you apply to the Adjutant General of the State of Connecticut, Hartford, Connecticut, and The Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Boston, Massachusetts, as possible sources of the information you seek.

Very truly yours,

A. D. HILLER,
Executive Assistant
