Madam:-
In response to your letter dated the eighth instant, you are advised that the history of the only Samuel Tubbs, found on the Revolutionary War records of the Bureau, was furnished you under date of January 26, 1916, and that it is not the practice of the Bureau to furnish more than one statement relative to a soldier, to the same person.
A careful search of the above records, fails to afford any information in regard to Lebeus Tubbs or Colonel George Dorrence.
Very respectfully,
E. C. Niman Acting Commissioner.

Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:-
I have recently written the War Department for information regarding John Ryon and Samuel Tubbs. Their reply is as follows: Rian Ryan
The records show that one John Ryon served in the Revolutionary War as a member of Yates' Regiment New York Militia, but his rank and the company of which he was a member is not shown. His name appears on a receipt roll for certificates as pay for service in this regiment, which shows that he received certificates in the sum of £2. No further record of him has been found.
The name of Samuel Tubbs has not been found on the rolls, on file in this office, of any organization of New York or Continental troops in service in the Revolutionary War.
The collection of records of that war in this Department is far from complete, and it is suggested that additional information can be obtained from the Director, New York State Library, Albany, or from the Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D. C.

The record I have is as follows: Samuel Tubbs, who was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, in a company enlisted in the Wyoming Valley. He was born in 1755 at Lynne, Connecticut, he lived at Lynne, Conn; Horton, Nova Scotia; New London, Conn; Wyoming, Pa; Newtown, N. Y. He married Sarah Susannah Dorrence and died September 7th., 1941 at Elkland, Pa., His father was Lebus Tubbs, born about 1720 or 1725 at Lynne, Conn.
I am a descendent from these people. Thanking you for any information you can give me, I am
Yours very truly,
