Sec. M. Shoreline of Pines Washington D.C.
I am trying to find the Revolutionary service of Thomas Hudee. Born 1730. Died Jan 11. 1824.
He came from Exeter or North Kingston Rhode Island to Hartland Vermont where he died.
He was a Revolutionary soldier holding office of Ensign but in what regiment and company I do not know. nor the dates

of his enlistment and discharge.
His son Samuel Weedon was also a private soldier in the Revolutionary war. What is his off record.
Whether these men enlisted from Rhode Island or Vermont I do not know.
Can your department furnish information desired and state the volumes on which to found the proof.
