Dear Madam:
The data which follow were taken from papers on file in pension claim, W.19602, based on the military service of Thomas Weatherbee or Weatherby, the only soldier of this name (searched under all spellings) who lived in Dedham, Massachusetts, that is found in the Revolutionary War records of this office.
Thomas Weatherbee or Weatherby was born in September, 1758. The place of his birth and the names of his parents are not shown.
While a resident of Dedham, Thomas Weatherbee or Weatherby enlisted in May, 1775, and served eight months as private in Captain Oliver Pond's Company in Colonel Joseph Read's Massachusetts Regiment. He enlisted in January, 1776, served as private in Captain Oliver Pond's Company in Colonel Joseph Read's Massachusetts Regiment and was discharged January 20, 1777.
This soldier was allowed pension on his application executed April 17, 1818, at which time he was living in Norwich, Hampshire County, Massachusetts, having moved there in 1798 from Dedham, Massachusetts.
He died in Norwich, Massachusetts, January 10, 1828, January 10 or 11, 1829, or February 11, 1829.

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information relative to Robert Owen who served in the Civil War, Adam Nighman and Christian Cackler, Jr., who served in the War of 1812, and Thomas Weatherby who served in the Revolutionary War.
Reply was made April 13, 1940, to your request for information relative to Robert Owen who served in the Civil War.
The War of 1812 records of this office fail to show a claim for pension on file on account of the service of an Adam Nighman, searched under all spellings. Such claims are the source of information furnished by this office relative to soldiers of this war.
You are furnished herewith, the records of Christian Cackler, Jr., and Thomas Weatherbee or Weatherby.
Very truly yours
