Jared Hinckley-S.19338

Honorable Colgate W. Darden
House of Representatives
Washington, D. C.

My dear Mr. Darden:

Reference is made to your letter of June 13, 1936, in behalf of Mr. Frank D. Beckham, 911 Westover Avenue, Norfolk, Virginia, whose letter of June 9, 1936, you enclosed.  Mr. Beckham requests the Revolutionary War record of Jared Hinckley, Junior, a pensioner, who was born November 8, 1758, in Lebanon, Connecticut, and died in Oxford, New York, April 11, 1828.

The data which follow are obtained from the papers on file in Revolutionary War pension claim, S.19338, based upon the military service in that war of Jared Hinckley.

The date and place of birth and the names of the parents of Jared Hinckley are not shown.

Jared Hinckley enlisted in Lebanon, Connecticut, served in Captain Clark's Company, Colonel Comfort Sage's Connecticut Regiment: no dates for this service are given:  he enlisted May 15, 1777,  in said Lebanon, served as a private in Captain Andrew Fitch's Company, Colonel John Durkee's Connecticut Regiment; was in the battles of Germantown and Monmouth; was detached and served in Captain Brown's Company at the siege of Mud Island Fort: in June, 1779, he obtained a written leave of absence on account of ill health and did not return to the service.

He was allowed pension from January 19, 1808, on account of disability resulting from his Revolutionary War service.  He then resided in the state of Vermont.  In 1822, he had moved to Chenango County, New York.

On February 11, 1823, he applied for pension on account of his military service in the Revolutionary War.  He was then a resident of Bainbridge, Chenango County, New York, and was aged sixty-four years.  His claim was allowed.
Page 11

In 1823, Jared Hinckley stated that his family then residing with him consisted of his wife, aged sixty-three years and one son, aged nineteen years.  He gave no names.

If Mr. Beckham desires the name and address of person paid and the date of last payment of pension in the case of Jared Hinckley (S.19338), he should address The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following data:

Jared Hinckley, Certificate No. 18942, issued May 7, 1823, rate $8 per month, commenced March 1, 1823, Acts of March 18, 1818, May 1, 1820 and March, 1823.

Mr. Beckham's letter is returned herewith.

Mrs. John C. Cochrane

Saint Cloud, Minnesota

Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the pension records of Jared and Wiatt Hinckley or Hinkley, soldiers of the Revolutionary War from Connecticut.

Because of the great demand for Revolutionary War data and the limited trained clerical force available for furnishing such information, it is impossible to comply in full with each request pertaining to soldiers of that war.  The record of Jared Hinckley follows as found in the papers filed in pension claim, S.19338, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.

The date and place of birth and names of the parents of Jared Hinckley are not shown.

Jared Hinckley enlisted in Lebanon, Connecticut, served in Captain Clark's Company, Colonel Comfort Sage's Connecticut Regiment: no dates for this service are given: he enlisted May 15, 1777, in said Lebanon, served as private in Captain Andrew Fitch's Company, Colonel John Durkee's Connecticut Regiment; was in the battles of Germantown and Monmouth; was 
detached and served in Captain Brown's Company at the siege of Mud Island Fort; in June, 1779, he obtained a written leave of absence on account of ill health and did not return to the service.

He was allowed pension from January 19, 1808, an account disability resulting from his Revolutionary War service.  He then resided in the state of Vermont.  In 1822, he had moved to Chenango County, New York.

On February 11, 1823, he applied for pension on account of his military service in the Revolutionary War.  He was then
Page 20

a resident of Bainbridge, Chenango County, New York, and was aged sixty-four years.  His claim was allowed.

In 1823 Jared Hinckley stated that his family then residing with him consisted of his wife, aged sixty-three years and one son, aged nineteen years.  He gave no names.

In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, the name and address of person paid and possibly the date of death of the Revolutionary War pensioner, Jared Hinckley (S.19338), you should address The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following data:

Can you send me the record of Jared Hinckley born at Lebanon, Conn. on Nov. 8, 1759, son of Timothy Hinckley and Ann Hyde.  He served through the War of the Revolution and I believe was an aide to Col. Throop ["as" crossed out] with the rank of a non-commissioned officer.  He died at Oxford N.Y. on April 12, 1828 and I believe his record is on the U. S. pension roll at Washington ending in the year 1828.

If you can furnish me with the information there contained with reference to the volume and page you will greatly oblige
