Bureau of Pensions, Washington, D. C. Gentlemen:
Replying to your favor of Aug. 31 st regarding the Rev. War record of Lemuel Wheeler, the only data I can give is as follows: His wife's name was Catherine. He at one time lived near Shelburne, Mass. He and his wife came from Ashby, Mass., in 1788. They moved to Jefferson Co., N. Y., in 1816.

They had twelve children and his son Timothy, born in Ashly in 1785, was my grandfather.
I wish to join the Daughters of the American Revolution. I know that my great grandfather was a soldier as my father said he could remember when he visited them and divided his pension among the children but I haven't the proof and was told to write to the Pension Dept. at Washington.
Thanking you, I am
Yours truly,
Cora Wheeler Wagner. (Mrs Hiram Wagner.)

Madam:
In response to your letter dated the 22 d instant, you are advised that this Bureau is unable to furnish the history of a soldier of the Revolution, unless a claim for pension or bounty land has been made on account of his services, and the Revolutionary War records fail to show such claims on file for Frederick Baylies, or Comfort Searle.
In order to identify such a claim, if filed for Lemuel Wheeler, in addition to his name, some of the following data is essential: the names of some officers under whom he served, his places of residence at enlistment and after service, approximate dates of his birth and death, given name of his widow.
Very respectfully,
E. C. Sieman Acting Commissioner.

Sir Herewith I enclose the schedule and documents of Samuel Wheeler for the purpose of being restored to the Pension List. His documents are as perfect as could be expected, considering the time that has elapsed, and the infirmities of age. He did not expect to again require the aid of Govt., therefore kept no memorandum to enable him to be more particular. That he is poor, there is no doubt, and reduced by circumstances beyond his control. I therefore trust his appli- cation will meet with success.
