I would be pleased to learn if the name of Frederic Wibert of this State appears on the Pension roll of Revolutionary Service ,
I cannot find his name on any muster roll of the State, but a niece of his (age 96) now living in Troy, says that he was disabled in the service and received a small pension. Only wish to know to get his service record, which the Roll should show, Respectfully
