Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Timothy Brown, a pensioner while living in 1840 in Bartholomew County, Indiana.
The data which follow were obtained from pension claim, S. 35786, based upon the service of Timothy Brown in the Revolutionary War. This is the record of the only Timothy Brown (Browne) that is found on file in the Revolutionary War records of this office.
The date and place of birth of this soldier are not given, nor are the names of his parents stated.
Timothy Brown enlisted in the state of New Jersey, "the last of April" 1780, and served as a private in Captain Richard Cox's company in Colonel Elias Dayton's 3rd New Jersey regiment, was transferred to Captain Alexander Mitchell's Company, Colonels Mattias Ogden's and Francis Barber's New Jersey regiment, was in the battle of Springfield and the Siege of Yorktown and was discharged June 5, 1783. He was also in the battle of Monmouth, no further details of this service given.
He was allowed pension on his application executed June 2, 1818, at which time he was living in Franklin County, Indiana.
He was still living in Franklin County in 1820 and was then aged Fifty-eight years, and stated that his

Page 15

wife was seventy-two years old, he did not give the name of his wife, and there is no further reference to her.
The soldier, Timothy Brown, had moved to Washington County, Iowa, in 1849 to reside with his only surviving child, name of child not given; it was then stated that the soldier had formerly lived in Bartholomew County, Indiana and that "most of his connexions" were living in Iowa.
The papers in this claim contain no further data in regard to family.
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, name and address of person paid, and possibly the date of death of this pensioner, you should apply to The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, Washington, D. C., and give the following--
