Miss E.A. Thomas 80 Hawley Street Binghamton, New York
Sir:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, R. 10776, it appears that James Tuttle was born, July 2, 1760 in Coventry, Windham County, Connecticut.
He alleged that while a resident of Montague, Hampshire County (which was later Franklin County), Massachusetts, he enlisted and served as a private in the Massachusetts Troops as follows:
From August or September, 1776, two months in Captain Caleb Montague's Company in Colonel Howe's Regiment.
From June or July, 1777, two months in Captain Joseph Slarrow's Company in Colonel Samuel Williams' Regiment.
From September, 1777, two months in Captain Joseph Slarrow's Company in Colonel David Wells' Regiment.
He applied for pension, September 18, 1832, while living in Bolton, Warren County, New York. His claim was

not allowed as he failed to furnish proof of service as required by the pension law.
There are no data on file relative to his family.
In the papers of the pension claim, W. 20578, the birth place of Benjamin Alden is not stated.
The Revolutionary War records of this Bureau fail to afford any information in regard to a Jonathan Dunham.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner.

To the Hon. the Secretary of War
Please send the return to the war in to Joseph Whipple Colonel Quartermaster Genl. Staff of New York

Sir.
I have the honor to inform you that the claim of James  Jamies Tuttle has been examined by before the  by the  referred - No service can be allowed which is not set forth in the operative points as required by the regulations. The Claim ant has alleged  so alleged but 5 mo service which is not sufficient to bring him within the provisions of the Act. And altho he has referred in general terms to his being called out at another time there is nothing in the phraseology to justify the infer- rence that it amounted to a month which is necessary in addition to the 5 mo. to entitle him to the benefits of the Act. His claim is therefore disallowed this papers placed on file
