Dear Sir:- In reply of your letter of 17 th inst. I note that I did not make it plain to you as to the war my ancestor was in - Joseph Woodhouse lost an eye in the Battle of Gotha Heights in the War of the Revolution - and is supposed to have received a pension for it.
I do not know what battles Elias or John Trause fought in - nor Joseph Gomer but I do know that they

fought in the war of the Revolution and both are supposed to have received pensions - Any information that you can give me concerning these men - will be greatly appreciated -
Yours Truly (Dr.) Adaline M. Francis

Madam:
In response to your letter of the 20 th instant, you are advised that in the Report from the Secretary of War in relation to the Pension Establishment which was printed in 1835, on the list of invalid pensioners who had been in receipt of pensions at the Connecticut Agency whose residence could not be ascertained in consequence of the destruction of the papers of the War Office in 1800 and 1814 appears the name of Joseph Woodmancy, Ensign in the Connecticut militia or Coast Guards, pensioned from September 6, 1781 under Act June 7, 1785. He died in 1813.
This Bureau has no further data in its files relative to said pensioner owing to the aforesaid destruction of papers in the War Office.
Very respectfully,
Commissioner.
