U.S. Commissioner Pensions Washington D.C.
Dear Sir:—
I am seeking information regarding pensioner of Revolutionary war by name of William Tryon whose name appears in the Connecticut list among the pensioners of 1818.
There was at least one other Wm Tryon in the Revolutionary war and probably more. Do the pension records give residence or name of wife so that the various Williams can be identified?

MRS. CHARLES R. FOLSOM HAWTHORN LODGE FAYETTEVILLE, NEW YORK
The following are the Williams I wish to identify:-
 1) Wm. of Wethersfield Conn. w. Sarah Goodrich  2) " " Middletown " w. Catherine Codner (later of Greenfield Mass. and died there.)  3) " of Sunderland Mass. w. { 1st. Susanna Spafford 2d. Hannah Hopkins (later of Manlius N.Y. and died there)  4) " residence not known, who was lieut. on the "Notre Dame" of S. Carolina and who was among the Americans imprisoned at Forton Prison England. 
(Number 3 above, I have identified.)
The Conn. Rev. records give a Wm Fry from Wethersfield in the Lexington Alarm, as drummer. In the Second Regt. 9th Co. 1775, there were evidently two Williams - one who enlisted

MRS. CHARLES R. FOLSOM HAWTHORN LODGE FAYETTEVILLE, NEW YORK

First Regt. Conn. Line. formation of 1781-1783 Capt Eells Co. Wm. Fryan Sergt Jan 1 '81 Dec. 31 '81.
Were the musician and the sergeant in above the same person or different persons?

MRS. CHARLES R. FOLSOM HAWTHORN LODGE FAYETTEVILLE, NEW YORK
4, The Mass. records give a full account of Wm Tryon of Sunderland Mass. with birth- place and residence. Was he a pensioner? Was the Forton prisoner a pensioner? Where was he from?
Thanking you, I am
Very sincerely yours
