Veterans Administration Bureau of Pensions,
Dear Sir:
Will you please send me the pension record of Jesse Vibard or Vibbert 1759-1830 of East Hartford, Conn.
Is there any pension record on file for Alexander Keeney 1708-1814 (Rhode Island Americana says he lived to be 106 of great strength and endurance)
I would like anything pertaining to the service of Benjamin Brown 1740-1809 Buried in Manchester Center cemetery. 7
I would like to identify him with the soldier by that name listed as serving from East Hartford, Conn. 1780-1783 in Capt. Hopkins Co. It is possible he was in line for pension as I have a record of one dated 1796
I would greatly appreciate this help to aid in records for the coming Armistice Anniversary.
Yours very truly,
Bertha L. Lewis (Mrs. T. J.)
