Washington, D.C
Dear Sir:
I am very desirous of following official evidence of my great grandfather, Thomas (Rev.) Hubbs service in the War of the American Revolution and in the War of 1812; and also that of John and William (Rev) Hubbs in the same Wars.
My great grandfather, Thomas Hubbs, presumably enlisted in Humphreys County Tenn. He lived in that county after the War and was by occupation, a ferryman on Duck River. He was born about 1760 and died about 1840.
John Hubbs lived in central Tennessee also and enlisted in the War of 1812 as a corporal. June 20, 1814. He was discharged on account of illness, & is therefore, probable
Page 41

that he was a pensioner. 
William Hubbs enlisted in said War as a private E. Hun. Valley Sept. 23,01813.
Any information you may be able to give me as shown by your records will be gratefully received.
Hopefully yours,
Vivienne Hubbs
