BA-7/ILL Enoch Smith W. 3728
Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of John Heald, Enoch Smith and Isaac Fowler.
A search of the Revolutionary War records of this office has been made and fails to show a claim for pension or bounty land on file based upon service of any soldier named John Heald, or of an Isaac Fowler who served in the New York troops or applied for pension while a resident of Ulster County, New York.
The record of Enoch Smith furnished below is obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, W. 3728, based upon his military service in the Revolutionary War. He is referred to in some of these papers as Enoch Smith, 2 nd , and his name is borne that way on the pension roll.
Enoch Smith enlisted in February, 1777, served as private in Captain Adam Wheeler's Company, Colonel Thomas Nixon's 6 th Massachusetts Regiment, and in Captain Peter Clayes' Massachusetts Company, and was discharged June 3, 1783 from the 6 th Massachusetts Regiment, having served six years, three months and twenty-four days.
In 1779 and 1800, the soldier resided in Rutland, Worcester County, Massachusetts.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 11, 1818, at which time he resided in Virgil, Cortland County, New York. In 1820, he was fifty-nine years of age, the date and place of his birth not stated.
He died March 10, 1852 in Sempronius, Cayuga County, New York.
Enoch Smith married on February 24, 1799, Miss Abigail Glasier;
Did not use statement of John Ballard in 1819 that soldier was 67 yrs. old. Soldier gives own age in 1820 as 59 yrs -

the ceremony was performed at the home of her father in New Braintree, Worcester County, Massachusetts; the name of said father is not stated.
The soldier's widow, Abigail Smith, was allowed pension on her application executed July 6, 1852, at which time she was seventy-seven years of age, date and place of her birth not stated. In 1855, she resided in German, Chenango County, New York.
In 1820, the soldier's family consisted of eight children, their names as follows: Hollan, Lucinda, Eunice, Abigal, William, Hannah, Jotham and Joseph, aged twenty, fourteen, twelve, ten, eight, six, four and two years respectively.
In 1852, one Artemas Glazier, a resident of Virgil, Cortland County, New York, stated that he was present at the marriage of Enoch Smith and his wife, Abigail, no relationship, however, stated. At that time, one Abel Heald, a resident of Sempronius, Cayuga County, New York, and the post master of that place for the twenty-seven years last past, stated that he had known the soldier, Enoch Smith, and his wife, Abigail, for forty-five years.
Very truly yours,
