not prove that these men & those found in the list, are one & the same. Any information you may be able to give me concerning them will be very much appreciated.
Yours respectfully,

Pension Bureau, Washington, D. C.
Gentlemen:-
Will you please give me whatever information you have concerning the Rev. War record of Wareham Williams. Pension Bureau file no. W 11856. Records show he had but 2 days in actual service in the militia. Would like to find the cause of the short service or if he held other places.
I do not know how much

or how meager your information might be, but I thought you might have some information on the subject.
Cranston Williams was a Fifer in the War of 1812. Is there a record of pension issued to him. Do not know where he enlisted - Con. or New York, I think. only 2 list
Mr. Sutfin or Sutfien was a member of Washington's Company in the Rev. War, and was

with him at Valley Forge. Is there a record of a pension issued to him?
If not, could you suggest where I might write for information?

This Bureau can furnish the military record of only such Revolutionary soldiers as were pensioned or whose widows were pensioned for their services.
Such of the original muster and pay rolls of the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 as are now in the possession of the Government are on file in the Record and Pension Office, War Department. Original rolls and other records pertaining to service in the Revolutionary War may also be found on file in the archives of many of the original States.
