Sir
Elijah Wilmott died before the passage of any law of Congress under which he could have been pensioned for his services in the war of the Revolution. His children have no claim in their own right. There is, therefore, no claim.
The papers sent have been filed with the rejected application, under the Act of June 7 1832,

Dear Sir, -
I am writing for information relative to the military service of Elijah Wilnut, or Elijah Willnut, file No. R. 11648 from Draper's Index to Connecticut revolutionary pensioners. Please send any data available to
Emma Wilnut Rogers.
(Mrs. M.G.)
The above named pensioner is one of my ancestors and I want data for D. A. R.

Mrs. M. G. Rogers, Auburn, Wash.
Madam:
I have to advise you that in the papers in Revolutionary War pension claim R.11648 it is alleged that Elijah Wilmott enlisted at Cheshire, Connecticut, and served as a private in the Connecticut Troops until the close of the War, date of enlistment and names of officers not stated. He died at Prospect, Connecticut, in 1814, leaving no widow and but three children who were still living in 1856: Polly Bristol, aged 92 years, Anna Kinney, aged 78 years, and Abigail Hulse, a resident of New Haven, Connecticut, aged 75 years.
They applied for pension on account of their father's services in the Revolution but their claim was not allowed as the soldier died before the passage of any law of Congress under which he could have been pensioned and the children therefore had no claim in their own right.
Respectfully,
Commissioner.
