Sir:
In reply to your letter of the eighth instant, you are advised that this Bureau is unable to furnish the history of a soldier of the Revolution unless claim for pension or bounty land has been made on account of his services and you are herewith given the record of the only George Hutton (under any spelling of that name) found in said files.

From the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, Survivor File No. 41676, it appears that George Hutton or Hutten resided in York County, Pennsylvania, when he enlisted in 1777, in Captain Forrester's Company, Colonel Thomas Hartley's Regiment marsh and Monmouth and was also in a campaign against the Indians on the Susquehanna and destroyed their towns. At the end of three years he was discharged at Sunbury, Pennsylvania, by Colonel Brady, under whom he had served several months. 

He was allowed pension on his application executed August 13, 1818, at which time he was sixty-five years old and a resident of Soioto County, Ohio. In 1880 he referred to his wife aged seventy-eight years. Her name is not given, nor is it stated whether they had children.

Very respectfully, 
Commissioner.
