Albany July 21. 1843.
Sir,
In answer to your letter of the 12 th inst. I have to inform you that on a careful examination of the list of Revolutionary Soldiers of the line of this State in this office the name of Jonathan Webb was not found returned.
Search was also made on the pay Rolls of the Militia & Levies of this State in the Comptroller's Office and they found that £2: 13: 4. were paid to Jonathan Webb on the 2 d . of September 1779 for services under Capt. David Ostrander in Col. J. Hasbrouck's Reg t of Militia Ulster County. This is all that could be found and it w d not entitle Webb or his widow to a pension. There was no Col. Holfield in this State during the Revolution. They think he lived in Connecticut.
Respectfully
