Office Asst. Quartermaster, 
                                      Helena Montana, April 23, 1896
The Honorable,
Commissioner of Pensions,
Washington, D.C.
Sir: 
It is my understanding, that my Grandfathers drew pen-
sions as follows, for services in the Revolutionary War, presumably
under laws of 1818 or 1832.,Viz:
Joseph B. Hoyt, #96.00. per. year, resided in Warner, 
Merrimac County, New Hampshire; Died October 16th, 1846, and that his Widow, Anna Hoyt, drew the pension until her death, August 
24th, 1854. 
Isaac Hardy, $48.00. per. year, resided in Hopkimton, 
Merrimae County, New Hampshire, don't know date of his death, and 
that his WSidow, Lydia Hardy, drew the same until her death some-
where about 1850. 
May I ask, that if my information as above, is correct, 
that I may be furnished with a memorandum from the records, of the
service of these Grandfathers, one or both. I do not know whether
or not their services were with N. H. Troops, if not, probably
Page 28

with those from Massachusetts or Connecticut. 
I am extremely anxious to obtain this information, and
know of no other way to do so. 
Very respectfully, 
(signature)
Capt. & Asst. Quartermaster, U.S.A
