Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your request for the records of Amasa Scott and Hosea Wilcox, soldiers of the Revolution.
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, S. 40709, based upon the military service of Hosea Wilcox.
He enlisted at Norfolk, Litchfield County, Connecticut, February 11, 1776, as private in Captain Titus Watson's company in Colonel Charles Burrall's Connecticut regiment and was discharged February 1, 1777.
He was allowed pension on his application executed May 2, 1818, at which time he was sixty-four years of age and was living in Tallmadge, Portage County, Ohio.
In 1820 he was living in Tallmadge and referred to his wife (her name not given) as being sixty-two years of age and to his son, Hosea G., aged twenty years, and his granddaughter, Oraline Brown, aged twelve years. One Pliny Wilcox testified as to the soldier's service but did not give relationship. There are no further discernible family data.
The Revolutionary War records of this office fail to afford any information in regard to an Amasa Scott who served from New Jersey, Maryland or Delaware.
Very truly yours
