Sir:
Referring to Rev. & 1812 Wars Section and your letter of June 28, 1928, I thank you very much for the information contained therein in regard to Revolutionary soldier George Trine.
I still require, in order to perfect my application for membership in the Pennsylvania Society of Sons of the Revolution, the date of the death of this ancestor of mine. It appears from the information that you furnished that he was born in the year 1752 (1818 less 66). Does not the record show when he died, which would be indicated by the pension stopping probably? All the information I have is that he was more than 90 years old when he died.
I will thank you for this further information if available. Also as a matter of interest, would be glad to know the amount of pension he received.
Yours respectfully,

Gentlemen:
In Penna. Archives, 3d Series, Vol.23,p.524, there is a list entitled "List of Pensioners as taken from the Rolls in the Treasury Office, Residing in the several counties of Pa., as required by Resolution of Senate, Mar. 3, 1835"
In the list under Berks County(Pa.) appears the name of " Trine , George, pr.P.L. Feb.3,1819; 82."
It is not quite clear to me whether this is a State record or a United States record. Will you investigate if there is such a record of a pension to George Trine and give me all the information about him that the record contains? I want this information to fortify my application for membership in the Pennsylvania Society Sons of the Revolution, and I will appreciate your help greatly.
Yours respectfully,

I have reason to believe that George Van Irine or Irine was pensioned for service in Rev. about 1818 while a resident of Longwamps Township (Berks Co) Reading Pa. Can you give me the facts concerning himself and family, he gave when he applied for a pension. Where was it sent and when did it cease, did his wife receive it after his death what was her name and when was it sent. Will be glad for any information you can give

On Mar. 30, last you gave me the following on Pension Claim S. 3827.
George Trine enlisted in May 1876, served as a private in Captain Albright's Company, Colonel Walter Steward's Pennsylvania Regiment and was discharged January 1, 1878.
He was allowed pension on his application executed November 23, 1818 while living at Long Swamp Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania, aged sixty-six years.
There is information on file as to family.
Now the last is what we most need and we want all the information you have on file there as this is very much needed by Mrs. Ralph Longley to complete her D.A.R. Papers. She is a descendant of this George (Van) Trine We have not been able to find the name of his wife and there should be some records of her on his pension papers. She did not live after he did we feel sure since he lived to be about 100 years old. The pension papers should tell the date of his death or when they ceased paying his pension. and where he died.
Hope you can send this additional information very soon as we are wanting to organize a new chapter and need more charter members.
Yours truly
