Honorable Gilbert N. Haugen, United States Senate.
My dear Senator:
In response to your letter of the second instant and the enclosed letter of Mr. Henry McSweeny of Westgate, Iowa, I have the honor to advise you, that this Bureau is unable to furnish the history of a soldier of the Revolution, unless a claim for pension, or bounty land has been made on account of his services and a careful search of the records fails to show claims on file on account of the services of Samuel Webb, of Stamford, Connecticut, who was born March 7, 1760 and died December 29, 1826, and of Charles Webb, Junior, of Stamford, Connecticut, who was born in October 1750 and died June 4, 1780, or of any Charles Webb, except the one, whose record is herewith furnished.
It appears that Charles Webb of Stamford, Connecticut, who was commissioned Colonel on January 1, 1777 and served until June 1, 1778, was pensioned at $18.75 per month on a certificate which was issued October 4, 1792, on account of his being disabled by a rupture, while in service.

There is no further data on file in this claim, as to service and no data at all as to family.
From the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W. 4851, it appears that Isaac Webb was born at Stamford, Connecticut, in 1731 and while living there, he served as a private in the Connecticut Troops, as follows:
From July 11, 1775, to December 18, 1775, in Captain Edward Shipman's Company, in the regiment of his father, Colonel Charles Webb.
From July 1776, to November 1776, with his father, in the troops, in New York.
From March 11, 1779, to January 1, 1780, in Captain Jesse Bell's Company.
From January, or February 1782, for two months, in Captain Samuel Lockwood's Company.
From July, or August 1782, to April 1783, in Captain Amos Smith's Company.
He was allowed pension on his application executed September 3, 1835, while living in Jay Township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania and he died there May 11, 1840.
He married October 3, 1781, at Stamford, Connecticut, Mary Tood and she was allowed pension on her application executed May 19, 1848, while living in Greene, Trumbull County, Ohio, aged seventy-six years. They had a daughter Angeline Morehouse, of Greene, Ohio aged thirty-six years in 1848. It is not stated whether they any other children.
Soldier stated that his next oldest brother was born March 5, 1760, but did not give his name.
Very truly yours,
WINFIELD SCOTT, Commissioner.
