Gentlemen:-
Rev War Pension Record of John Tuttle , Sunderland, Mass, and Palmyra, Ohio.
For the information of my sons in the United States Army, Navy and Marine Corps I desire to obtain a copy of the above Revolutionary War pension record of my great- great-grandfather, John Tuttle, who resided at Sunderland, Mass, until he moved about 1804 to Palmyra, Ohio, where he died.
I would like also such information as the record may contain about his children by his three wives, about them and about his place and date of birth, parentage, etc. Some of the data now available about him are conflicting. It is hoped that his pension papers may serve to clear up several of these points.
Very sincerely,
Irma T. Ireland

Dear Sir:
According to records in my possession John Tuttle who died Oct. 19, 1829 and was buried at Palmyra, Portage County, Ohio was placed on the pension rolls March 24, 1819. He served in the Revolutionary War enlisting as a private, in June or July 1779 to April 1780, under Capt. Smith, Col. Sprout, Sgt. Artillery Companies. By what means would it be possible for me to secure a copy of this pension record? I am working on a genealogical problem which I am having considerable difficulty with and am in hopes the pension record will help to clear it up.
