Will you kindly send me the Revolutionary record of MARTIN WHITTLESEY, who was born in Newington, Connecticut on October 5, 1737 and died in Washington, Connecticut on May 29, 1808.
His name appears in a list of Pensioners printed in the Senate Document of the First Session, 23rd Congress, 1833-34 and also on a list of invalid Pensioners in the Record of Connecticut Men in the War of the Revolution.

Sir:
In response to your letter of August 31, 1920, you are advised that in the Report of the Secretary of War, in relation to the Pension Establishment of the United States, which was printed in 1835; on the list of invalid pensioners paid at the Connecticut Agency, and whose residence could not be ascertained, in consequence of the destruction of papers of the War Office in 1801 and 1814; appears the name of Martin Whittlesey, Sergeant, of the Revolutionary Army, annual allowance thirty dollars, which commenced March 4, 1789, under Act of June 7, 1785.
He died May 29, 1808. There is no further data on file relative to him, owing to the burning of the War Office as mentioned above.
Very respectfully,
Acting Commissioner.
