Gentlemen:-
Ensign Henrich Zimmerman, who was wounded at
the battle of Oriskany, 1777, made application for a
pension in 1786. He was in Capt House's Co. Jacob Klock's
Regiment. He was then 46 years of age. Can you give me
the date when he ceased to draw a pension, if it was
granted? For genealogy purposes we desire to fix the
date of his death and get the name of his widow, if he
had one at the time of his death.
There were three Henry Zimmermans of Timmermans
in the battle of Oriskany, one a Lieutenant, one a private,
and this Ensign Zimmerman.
Sincerely, Charles G. Mead

Dear Sir:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request
the record of Ensign Henrich Zimmerman or Timmerman, who was
wounded at the battle of Oriskany and who, you state, made application
for pension in 1786.
In the report of the Secretary of War printed in 1835,
the name of one Henry Timmerman is recorded on a list of invalid
pensioners who had been inscribed on the roll of the New York Agency
and whose residences could not be ascertained because of the destruction
of papers by fire in the War Office in 1800 and 1814. The
report shows that he was ensign in the Revolutionary Army, and that
he received $120 per annum on account of disability, the nature of
which is not stated, and that he died May 18, 1807.
This office has no further data relative to that soldier
because of the loss of papers in his application as stated above.
There is no subsequent application on file on account of his service
under either spelling of the name, Timmerman or Zimmerman.
Very truly yours,
C
of the

Army, and that he received $120 per annum on account of
disability, the nature of which is not stated, also, that he died May
