Madam:-

Replying to your recent communication you are advised that Oliver Hatch made an application for pension on May 18, 1818, at which time he was 64 years of age and residing at Groton, N. Y., and his pension was allowed for two years' actual service as a dragoon and sergeant in the Conn. troops, Revolutionary war; a part of the time he served under Capt. Stoddard and Col. Sheldon. He enlisted at Sharon, Conn. His widow, Phebe, made application and received a pension for the service of her husband as above set forth. 

Very respectfully,
Commissioner.

Dear Sir,
I have your letter of the 19th inst. in relation to
record of Oliver Hatch, and am enclosing some corroborative evidence that ancestor of our family and the one borne on your records are identical.
Thanking you for such information as you may give me, I am Very respectfully,
N. S. Woodruff,

(Copy of part of Hatch' family record.)
Oliver Hatch - born Feb. 5, 1755. Died Nov. 20, 1839.
Phebe Perry born Mar. 5, 1764, Died Sept. 4, 1846.
Oliver Hatch and Phebe Perry were married Oct. 16, 1788.
Their children were, - David, Justice, Oliver, Jr. Tamer, Ebenezer, Sullivan, Heman., Virgil,
Abram, and Arthur.
While two of these names differ in spelling from those given in your letter, this would seem to be due to some error in earlier records. I feel sure this is the case because of facts within my own Groton N. Y. and from my earliest recollection my grandmother, Tamer (Hatch) Woodruff lived with my father, continuing to do so until her death. I also remember Sullivan, Virgil and Arthur
who at that time lived at Groton, where now resides the only living one of the children of Tamer Woodruff, Mrs Albert Chapman.
In view of these facts, I have no doubt of the line of descent, and Respectfully ask for that 'fuller statement' of service you mention
in your letter of the 19th inst. Respectfully, N. S. Woodruff, North East, Pa

The family papers owned by his grandchildren
are so much prized by them that
Page 24

they do not wish to submit them to the officers of the D.A.R. in Washington to prove their ancestors services as sergeant for fear of their being lost in the mails-

I think that the name of Mr. Edwards was signed to some of the last letters from the Pension Office.

Regretting that I did not make this suggestion
before and thanking you for your kind

A Mr. Oliver Hatch who served as a private in the Army of the Revolution has made application to me for assistance in restoring him to the Pension List Roll - He enlisted into
the service during the war in Colonel Sheldon's Regiment of Dragoons in the Connecticut Line, and after serving some two or three years he hired a substitute who served for him to the close of the war, the term for which he entitled.

Mr Hatch informs me that in 1818 he was  placed upon the Pension list Roll of the New York Agency at $8 per month but that before he drew his first semi - annual payment he
was stricken from the Roll on account of his property-- that this was proceeded to be done by some of his neighbors who were his enemies that in fact he had no property-

Will you be good enough to inform me whether this case would come within the act of Congress of the 15th of May 1828 or whether he must yet apply under the acts of 1818 & 1820. I am not advise whether his having procured substitute who served a part of his time (tho a small part) will Exclude him from the provisions of the act of 1828. If he is within
the act of 1828. Will he have to furnish new proof of his service or will the proof already adduced to the Department in 1818 be
sufficient as to proof of his service and what further proof will be required - Your Obt Hund Servant [signature] Saml Crittenden I.

Dear Sir,

I herewith enclose the declaration of Mrs. Phebe Hatch under the act of 1843.

I am directed by Mrs. Hatch to request a re-examination of her husband's papers with a view to an increase on the following grounds.

Olliver Hatch (her late husband) besides other short tours, served 15 months as Sergeant and after this enlisted in Col. Sheldon's regiment of dragoons for the year, and after serving one year as a dragoon, employed a substitute for the balance of the term. Now 15 months as a Sergt. and 9 months as a dragoon entitles her to a pension of $112.50, whereas, she has been allowed only $85 per an.

She therefore claims the arrears due from the 4th of March 1831, to the - Nov. 1839, the day her husband died, under the act of 1832. And for five years under the Act of 1838.

I am very respectfully
