Madam:
In reply to your letters of the 13 and 16 ultimo,
you are advised that the Bureau is unable to
furnish the record of a soldier of the Revolution unless a claim for pension or bounty land has been made on account of his services, and a careful search of the records fail to show such a claim on file for Amos Lawrence (under any spelling of the name)
who served as Sergeant in Capt. Abner Prior's Co. 5" Conn. Regt., and in Capt. James Morris' Co. 8" Conn. Regt.
For information relative to data that you may have received from the Record and Pension Office, a Bureau of the War Department, you should consult that office.
You were furnished on Oct. 8, 1915 with the record of the Revolutionary War pensioner (W.20374) Amos Lawrence who married
Sabra Eggleston. It is not the practice of the Bureau to furnish the same record twice for the same purpose. The Bureau is unable to aid you further in this matter.
The Revolutionary War records of this Bureau fail to afford information in regard to any soldier named Jonathan Eggleston,
Very respectfully

I wish for an official copy of his record so that I may have his name placed on the Roll of Honor in the D.A.R. records.
Amos Lawrence Sr. and Amos Lawrence Jr., father and son were both soldiers and I believe both enlisted from Hartford or Hartford Co., Conn.
The record mentioned was procured for Mrs. Sabra Amanda Mussey who was a Real Daughter in the Society of the D.A.R. She joined the society only thru her father, but the following notation was made on her papers, and signed by herself.
"I, Sabra Amanda Mussey" being 91 years old might also apply for membership in this society by right of lineal decent [sic] in the following line from Amos Lawrence Sr .of
Conn.
I am the daughter of Amos Lawrence Jr. and
Sabra Eggleston his wife, and grand daughter
of Amos Lawrence Sr. and the said Amos
Lawrence Jr, assisted in establishing American
Independence while acting in the capacity
of Sergeant in Revolutionary War."
Then followed the record copied from
the record sent from the Office of Records and
Pensions, Washington D.C.
But as it was evidently copied hurriedly, it isn't

entirely clear in all places, and there was no family data given. As I am very anxious for the family records also I decided to appeal to you once more.
I have written you at length this time trusting
that you will pardon me for so doing and also
hoping to impress you with the fact that this
is no matter of idle curiosity but a sincere
desire on my part to do justice to the memory of a soldier of the Revolutionary War.
As near as I can decipher the record it is as
follows
Amos Lawrence Sr. served as Sergeant in
Capt. Abner Priors' Company, 5th Con. Regt
commanded by Col. Philip B. Bradley,
Rev. War. Enlisted, 1777 and was transferred to Capt. James Morris 2nd Conn. Regt commanded by Col. Herman Swift.  Was discharged July 11, 1781
Please do not take this too literally as it is not
plainly legible in all places.

E. C. Tieman, Acting Commissioner Pensions
Revolutionary War Department

Dear Sir
This day I have received from you an answer
to a letter written to your department by my daughter, Mrs R. M. Fairleigh Sept. 15.
She had asked you for the military record of
Amos Lawrence Sr. who enlisted from Connecticut and served first in Capt Abner Priors' company, 5th Conn. Regt. and was transferred to Capt. James Morris', 2nd Regt.
In your reply to her letter you state that "the
records of this bureau fail to afford any
information regarding the said Amos Lawrence."
This statement must be incorrect as I have
some information from the Regent of the
Geneseo Ill. Chapter D.A.R. to the effect that a
record of this man was sent to their Chapter
January 1900 from the Record and Pension Office. I wrote you a few days ago for this same record, not knowing that my daughter had asked for it

One is of John Winslow presumably from one of the three named places, viz: Lawrence Co. Lewis Co. N.Y. or Rutland Co. Vt.
The other- Amos Lawrence from some where in Conn. perhaps Hartford Co. (His son was married in Windsor, Hartford Co. Conn.) in 1783.
Any assistance you can give me will be very

Dear Sir
From the Vermont Historical Gazette, I learn that there was an Amos Lawrence who lived in Rutland Co. Vermont at the time he applied for a pension and was 76 years of age then.
If this is a different soldier from the one who
married Sabra Eggleston I would ask you to kindly send me his record both family and war.
I have the record of the Amos who married Sabra Eggleston, but his age is stated as 60 yrs at date of application while the one I mention is stated as 76 yrs.
The Amos Lawrence who married Sarah Webster was father to the one who married Sabra Eggleston, and I am trying to get the senior man's record. Both were Revolutionary soldiers and were my ancestors.
If you will kindly grant me this favor I shall
indeed be grateful.
Very Respectfully Yours
