Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D.C.
Dear Sir:
I would like some information concerning Enos Tuttle, who was a pensioner of the Revolutionary War. In 1834 a list was made for Congress of the Revolutionary pensioners living in Clark and Floyd Counties, Indiana, and Enos Tuttle's name was on that list. He received his pension once a year. He died in 1841 or 1842. in Clark Co. Indiana. He enlisted in Connecticut. The following record was sent me by the War Department:
" It is shown by the records of this office that one Enos Tuttle served as a private in the 4th Company, 4th Connecticut Regiment, commanded by Colonel Zebulon Butler, Revolutionary War. It appears that he enlisted March 1, 1782 to serve during the war; he was transferred Nov. 17, 1782, to the 8th Company, 3rd Connecticut Regiment, commanded by Col. Samuel E. Webb, and was paid as a member of the latter organization to Nov. 3rd, 1783.
The records also show that one Enos Tuttle served as a private in Captain Barker's Company of Colonel Return J. Meigs' 6th Connecticut Regiment, Revolutionary War. His service commenced Aug. 15, 1778 and his name is last borne on the roll of that organization for Nov. and Dec. 1780, which contains no special remark relative to his service."
I want to know if your pension record coincides with this record and if these two services belong to the same Enos Tuttle. I desire especially the War record of the Enos Tuttle who drew a pension in Indiana.
Very Respectfully Yours,
Mrs. Alice Worrell,

We are trying to get the military record and family genealogy of our ancestor, Enos Tuttle who tradition says was born in New Haven Connecticut, and we think he is the Enos Tuttle who was a private in the Sixth Regiment of the Connecticut Line, Colonel William Douglas and Colonel Return Johnathan Meigs.
and disbanded 1880.
The Regiment was raised in 1777
Probably he was also the Enos Tuttle who was a private in the Fourth Regiment of the Connecticut Line, Continental service, Col Zebulon Butler.
This regiment was composed of men who had served in the Sixth Regiment of the Connecticut Line and was raised in 1781 to the end of the war. This Enos Tuttle received pay from Jan 1. 1781 to Dec 31 1781 as shown on page 342 of Connecticut Soldiers in the Revolution.
If Enos Tuttle lived to the year 1818 he would have been eligible to apply for a pension. Please tell me if his application for a pension is on file, and if so please send me whatever he gave of his military service and particularly his family genealogy
