Madam:
I have to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S.42586, it appears that Malcart Van Derpool enlisted at Albany, New York, in the spring of 1775 and served one year as a private in Captain John Vischer's New York Company; he was at the Siege of Quebec.
He then re-enlisted in Captain Baldwin's New York Company of Rangers, was in both battles at Saratoga and served until the close of the War.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 15, 1818, while residing in Shodack, Rensselaer County, New York, aged 63 years.
There is no data on file as to his family.
Respectfully,
Commissioner

Dear Madam:
The Revolutionary War records of this office do not show that a claim for pension was ever made on account of the services of a John Melchert Vanderpool.
The full record of Malcart Van Derpool was furnished you on May 26, 1924 which was the record of the only soldier with given name or similar spelling found on said records.
In order to identify the record of any particular soldier of that war named John Vanderpool as much as possible of the following data are essential: approximate dates of birth and death, places of residence at enlistment and after service and given name of widow.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER Assistant to Administrator.
