Dear Sir:-
Will you kindly advise me if the war records of the State of Connecticut show that Nathanael Jacobs served the state of Connecticut or in the Continental Army in the War of the Revolution? I believe he was a member of the Connecticut Militia during said war.
If you find that he was, I would like certified copies of all records of your office relating to his enlistment, discharge and pension.
If you will send bill with same, I will remit immediately by check.
Yours truly,

Will you please tell me whom I should write to and the expense to obtain a certified copy of the Revolutionary record of Nathanael Jacobs. It is for the purpose of establishing my eligibility to become a "Son of the American Revolution". A relative, already a member, writes this: "Nathanael Jacobs was a soldier of the Revolution as is definitely shown by the records of the Pension Office at Washington as recorded in Bureau of Pensions, file 13120. Statement shows that in June 1778, town of Thompson, state of Connecticut, enlisted in Rhode Island state troops, Capt. Tourtellotte's Company. In the spring of 1777 he enlisted in a volunteer company at Smithfield, Rhode Island, under the command of Captain Andrew Waterman.

In spring of 1876 he served as substitute for one Wheat. In the fall of the same year he volunteered under Captain Thomas Green in Thompson, Connecticut"
I'll pay for this certification of above if you'll find out it is authentic.
