I do not know whether all the the following men were pensioned but I know they were all soldiers. For D.A.R. and Mayflower records I would like the record if you have it of the following men. I am not asking all these names for one person I believe some of your departments are allowed to look up but two names for one person. But the names I send you are for seven people. So I think it will be permissible for you to look them up. Would like the service, date & place of birth, date of marriage & place, date of death and place, name of wife and date of her birth & death if given in your records.
