Commissioner of Pensions. Washington D. C.
Dear Sir:-
Your favor of the 13 th received, with enclosures, for which accept my thanks. I return herewith the Rev. Service Memo. blanks filled out as requested.
With regard to John Warren of Holland, I would say that I fear there must be some mistake. Your statement of his service (returned herewith)

states that he was a Sergeant, and enlisted in Conn. in 1776. whereas the Certificate of J. C. Calhoun. Secy of War, May 31. 1870. calls him John Warren, 2 d and describes him as "late a private in the Army of the Revolution."
Again, John Warren did not live in Conn. until 1778 , the year he moved from Sturbridge. Mass.
At the time he first made his application for a pension (as I learned from some old papers in the possession of his descendants at Tolland,) his application was refused, as it appeared

that a pension had already been granted to another John Warren who served in the same Regt that he was in, and the Pension Office was not informed that there were two John Warrens in the same Regt. Afterwards John of Tolland apparently furnished more proof, and consequently his pension was granted to him as John Warren 2 d .
Further, John Warren of Tolland was born in 1750, so he would have been 69 years old instead of 60 in 1819. There was only one John of Tolland. I think he was in Col. Grosvenor's Regt.

in the Conn. Line, and enlisted in 1778. He had previously served as a minute man from Sturbridge. Mass. in 1775, I think.
I have taken the liberty to add another inquiry, as to my gt. gt. grandfather, Ebenezer Read. Enclosed herewith.
Again thanking you, and awaiting further information, I remain.
Very respectfully yours.
W. H. Glyn.

Full name of soldier:
Ebenezer Read. w. Read
Residence before service:

Residence after service:-

Christian name of widow wife:
Mary Chapin (d. 1806)
I don't know whether he received a pension.
