Dear Sir, -
NA
I wish to join the "Daughters of the American Rev." would you kindly send me such information as is contained in the application for pensions of Nathan Dillcox of Connecticut, (a Revolutionary soldier) concerning his age, his family, his resi- dence, birthplace and service. Nathan Dillcox was the name of my great, great grandfather, and I believe this soldier to be

my ancestor. Also could you tell me anything concerning a Richard Montague of Hadley, Mass. (who married Abigail Camp.) or of a Samuel Stewart of New York State (I believe) born March 10, 1753 - died Feb 26, 1842. (at least I think those are the dates) any information con- cerning any of these I should be most grateful for.
Very truly yours -
