Providence July 1 st 1819.
Sir
I return enclosed the Pension Papers of Rhodes Tucker with my Certificate of his revolutionary service
He was one of 198 Men enlisted in 1782 into the Rhode Island Regiment to serve for nine months, expressly, from the time of their being mustered.
I have no positive evidence of his having reenlisted for the war, as stated by him; but no doubt remains on my mind that he did so; as on 23 rd day of November 1782, which must have been near the expiration of the term of his original enlistment, leave of absence was granted to him, with others who did reenlist , until 1 st day of April following, and was probably one of the conditions of his reenlistment
I am Sir,
your obedient servant
J. L. Edwards, Enquire—
J. G. Dexter

It appears by the Regimental Book, That Rhodes Tucker, now residing in Camillus in the State of New-York, enlisted for, and served the full term of nine months a Private Soldier in the Regiment commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Commandant Jeremiah Olney in the Rhode Island Line on the Continental Establishment, and that he was honorably discharged from said Regiment at Saratoga in said State of New-York on the first day of March 1783. —
