Madam:
I advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 33844, it appears that Caleb Tuttle enlisted, his residence at the time not stated, on March 7, 1777, served as private in Captain Joseph Mansfield's Company, Colonels Douglas and R. J. Meigs' Connecticut Regiment and was discharged April 28, 1780.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 8, 1818 while a resident of West Springfield, Hampden County, Massachusetts.
In 1820 he was aged fifty-nine years and referred to his wife Mary then aged fifty-four years and his children, Mary, Julia and Sullivan Masters Atwater Tuttle, aged twenty-eight, twenty-three and thirteen years respectively.
This is the only Caleb Tuttle of West Springfield, Massachusetts found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau.
Said records fail to afford any information in regard

to Joseph Tuttle as described by you, or to Ebenezer, Elijah and Thomas Tuttle.
Respectfully,
I omitted reference to James Tuttle mentioned in her letter of Dec-10, '28 as she had had dist. history
