Dear Sir,

Acting on the advice received from the Adjutant Generals' office March 2nd 1910 Washington D.C. (I was then at 63 Fletcher Ave Mt. Vernon N.Y.)

The paper returned to me is 1627525. It is Samuel Broadhead I would like a record of in Revolutionary War, his grand daughter tells me he drew a pension, and my family wish to establish their claim to enter the D.A.R.

Also from Comptroller's Office Albany N.Y. I received this, "Daniel & Samuel Broadhead names appear on the Revolutionary Records on an assignment of a land County right by members of a class in Capt. Schoonmaker's...

Page 37

...Company, Col Cantine's Ulster County, N.Y. regiment.

The name of Samuel Broadhead is found on a payroll of Capt. Briskerhoff's company, Col. Cantine's Ulster Co., N.Y. regiment."

I shall be very grateful if you can assist me to substantiate these things.

Please address

Dear Sir:

I am interested in securing any available information on file regarding Samuel Broadhead, a soldier of the revolution. The War Department's records give the following:

1. Samuel Brodhead, sergeant, Captain Charles Brodhead's Company, consisting of drafts of the Militia of Dutchess and Ulster Counties in the Regiment of New York Militia, commanded by Colonel Morris Graham, and now stationed on Van Schaick's Island. He served twenty-five days from August 7 to 31, 1777.

2. Samuel Brodhead, sergeant in Captain Androes Bevoer's Company in Levi Pawling's Regiment of New York Militia. He entered service May 17, 1779, but no later record of him has been found.

3. Sammual Bordhead, also borne Sammual Brodhead, sergeant in Captain John Habrouck's Company, Cantaine's Regiment of New York Militia. The period of his service is not shown, but he was given on August 20, year not shown, a certificate for LI-S2-D-2 for services performed on the Frontiers of Ulster County.

The first record of service is known to be that of the Samuel Brodhead I am interested in. It is probable the other two services were performed by the same individual.

He was placed on the pension roll and his pension commenced February 12th, 1833. He was listed in 1841 as residing in Plattekill, N.Y. with Ann Cab who was presumably his daughter.

I am particularly interested in obtaining information relative to his wife and children, particularly a daughter Maria and would very much appreciate any information you may be able to make available.

If Samuel Brodhead's original pension applications etc., are on file will you please advise if photostatic copies of same may be obtained.

Very truly yours,
s/ Herbert R. Lyons
