Sir:-
Two persons interested in genealogy have each written me for extracts from the records of the Old War and Navy Division of your Bureau which will aid them in their researches. They are as follows:
Mrs. A. C. Pratt, of Chelsea, Mass., asks for information concerning Joseph Frederick , a revolutionary soldier. He drew a pension and it was continued to his widow, whose name before marriage was Jerusha Pease. They were married at Martha's Vineyard, Mass. and after the war moved to Industry, Maine, where they both died.
Mr. John U. Chandler, of Machias, Maine, asks for data concerning George Ulmer , a revolutionary soldier. April 3, 1818, he applied for a pension which was granted about a year later. After the close of the war he held a commission as General, -probably of militia.
I have been written to for this information because it is well known to genealogists that I am interested in the subject.
I respectfully ask that, if proper, the information desired be furnished, and forwarded to me.
Very respectfully,
Thos. S. Hopkins
