I have no trade or occupation but occasionally perform a little labor as I have strength in a garden but my constitution is so impaired & my health so bad that it is but seldom that I can do any labor — I have not been able to do more labor in one week than a man of common strength would perform in one day for the period of six years past. I have a wife aged sixty four whose health is tolerably good — I have one child only & she is a married woman with family & her husband is poor —
The pension allowed me by government has been of late the principal means of my support & I verily believe if it should be withdrawn I shall be obliged to apply to the town of Glastenbury for support

In response to your letter dated the 12" and received the 13" instant, you are advised that John Warren, W. File No. 18,241, Rev. War, who was pensioned at Glastonbury, Connecticut, from March 30, 1818, on account of the service quoted by you, was of Bolton when he married, April 8, 1779, Rachel Tryon of Glastonbury; he was sixty-eight years of age in 1820, and died June 1, 1827, from which it will appear that he is not identical with your ancestor who was born in 1749 and died in 1821.
One John Warren, Sur. File No. 36,370, of Tolland, Connecticut, was pensioned for two years' service as Private of Connecticut troops, from October 13, 1819, at which date he stated that he was more than sixty-nine years of age.
For the date of his death and name of the person to whom the arrears of his pension were paid, you should apply to the Auditor for the Interior Department, U. S. Treasury Department, giving him all of the following data;
"John Warren, Certificate No. 17,306, issued May 31, 1820, under the Act of March 18, 1818, at the Connecticut Agency."

"Anna Norton widow of Selah Norton, Certificate No. 3,104, issued November 7, 1839, under the Act of July 4, 1836, at the Connecticut Agency."
