Sir:-
In reply to your communication requesting information relative to Revolutionary soldiers bearing the name Chamberlin or Chamberlain, and Voeman or Voemans, you are advised that the name Chamberlin is such a common one and the data furnished by you relative to soldiers bearing this name is so meagre it would be impossible for this Bureau to make a satisfactory search for their services.
The pension records have been carefully examined and it does not appear that any soldiers bearing the name Voeman or Voemans received a pension for services rendered in the above mentioned war from the State of New Jersey. A record has been found, however, of Jeremiah and Isaac Voeman who may possibly be identical with the ones of your inquiry. You will please find enclosed a statement of their military services.
Very respectfully,
Rev. C. R. Chichester,
Commissioner.
