Madam:.....
I have to advise you that the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau fail to afford any information in regard to Captain Lemuel Stewart. If however, he served in any other capacity, and you will so state, furnishing as much as possible of the following data, another search will be made in your behalf: approximate dates of birth and death, places of residence at enlistment and after service and given name of widow. Please return this letter with your reply. Information in regard to Asa Turney was furnished you September 1, 1926.
Respectfully,
Winfield Scott WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner.
Ans Nov. 18. 26
yes, I received the information about Asa Turney. It was Pension Certificate # 13029. for service in Connecticut Troops. Can you tell what that service was?  The Lemuel Stewart afore mentioned was born 1750 died 1807. His wife's given name was Lydia born 1751, d Oct 28-1793. The only information I have as to place is from

Neglected that the information was gained from a record of Vital statistics of Williamstown, Mass. And the service I have as Captain was supposed to come from "Mass, soldiers and sailors, in the Revolution" but I have to have certified records for D.A.R. Membership.
Neglected The record of service I have, I think I gave you before, but is as follows:- Lemuel Stewart, Captain, engaged May 3, 1775, returned May 23 - 1775, service 25 1/2 days, on expedition against Ticonderoga and Crown Point, also Captain, entered service June 27 - 1775, service 6 mo. 4 days. Also billeting roll of said Stewart's Co, credited with 55 days allowance, amount of billeting for Co. paid on a warrant from Major Gen. Schuyler and receipted for by said Stewart at Albany Jan 27 - 1776.
None It is said, but not well born out that Lemuel Stewart was born and died in Williamstown, Mass. At any rate he married there, and his wife was born and died there.
This is all the information I have been able to find.
Hoping you may help me out more this time.
Sincerely Yours (Mrs) Hazel M. Henry. 408 So. Borneu St.
