Commissioner of Pensions,
Rev. War Dept.
-
If it is not out of
order to do so, I would like to
ask if you can give me the
given name of old Lt. Frisbie
who lived many years in Lisle, N.Y.
and died there about 1850
He died at the home of his daughter Jerusha (Frisbie) Johnson, wife
of Isaac Johnson. He is said
to have been a Rev. War pensioner
It is most likely that he served in
Conn. He went to New York (Lisle)
in 1809. His grave does not seem

Page 20

[handwritten]
to be marked in Lisle, Tradition says that
he lived with his daughter in 60 years. If
he lived with his daughter from her
birth till his death, 60 years would
be in about 1850
I have exhausted almost every means
before applying to you with so little
information
Thanking you in advance
Yours very truly
(Mrs) Jessie H. Tuttle
1801 LaSalle Ave
Minneapolis, Minn
