RA-J/ILL XXXXXXXXXXXX Russell Rose W. 5718
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter requesting information in regard to Russell Rose.
The data furnished herein are obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, W. 5718, based upon the service of Russell Rose in the Revolutionary War.
Russell Rose enlisted just after the battle of Bunker Hill and served six months as private in Captain Lebbens Ball's Company, Colonel Danielson's Massachusetts Regiment, following which he enlisted and served one year as private in Captain Lebbens Ball's Company, Colonel Learned's Massachusetts Regiment and was in the battle of Trenton; he enlisted then at Valley Forge, served in Captain Lebbens Ball's Company, Colonel William Shepard's Massachusetts Regiment and continued in the service two years, most of the time as waiter to said Lebbens Ball.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 22, 1818, at which time he was about sixty-five years of age, date of his birth not given. He was then a resident of Tioga County, Pennsylvania, having moved to that county about the spring of 1808.
The soldier died June 1, 1838 in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania.
The soldier married sometime in January about 1787, in the town of North East, New York, Lydia Orvis; her father, whose name is not given, lived at that time in Litchfield, Connecticut.
Lydia Rose, the soldier's widow, was allowed pension on her application executed January 16, 1839, at which time she resided

in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. She was then seventy-four years of age, the date and place of her birth not given.
She died June 3, 1857.
from Algonay Book See endorsement in book of her 1848 pension jacket
The names and dates of birth of the following children of the soldier and his wife, Lydia, are shown, copied from the records at Rutland, Vermont:
Daniel born May ..... 18, 1788. Sophrona " October .... 31, 1791. Enos " March .... 30, 1793.
Their daughter, Phebe, was fifteen years of age in 1820, at which time she was living at home with her parents.
In 1839, the son, Daniel, stated that his parents had five children living then, other than himself, but he did not give their names. He stated further that when he was seven years old, his parents moved from Rutland, Vermont, to Litchfield, Connecticut, where they remained two years, then moved to Hartford County, thence to Tioga County, Pennsylvania.
The names of three brothers of Lydia Rose, the soldier's widow, are given in 1839: David Orvis, aged ninety-two, residing then in Colebrook, Litchfield County, Connecticut, formerly of Norfolk; Jesse, aged sixty-six years, then of Sullivan Township, Pennsylvania, had lived in Litchfield at the time of his sister's marriage and had moved to Tioga County, Pennsylvania, shortly before the soldier and his wife lived there; Joseph Orvis, deceased, whose widow, Mabel Orvis, resided in Norfolk, Litchfield County, Connecticut, then, was born in December, 1759, and married said Joseph Orvis in 1784.
The above record is that of the only soldier names Russel Rose, found on the Revolutionary War records of this office.
In order to identify the record of the particular soldier named William Moore, born February 15, 1758, as much as possible of the following information is essential: places of residence at enlistment and after service, and name of widow. Upon receipt of this information, a further search of the records will be made in your behalf.
Very truly yours,

Dr Sir
I enclose you herewith
the additional evidence required to sustain the application of Mrs. Lydia Rose for a pension.
The evidence of Maria Orris taken before Ch. F. Childs Esq. in Litchfield County Connecticut is conclusive of the fact of marriage.
I trust that no further obstacle will be found to delay the allowance of her just claim.
Please let me hear from you as soon as your convenience will permit.
I am very respectfully

Pension Bureau, Washington D.C.,
Can you furnish me the ✓ Rev. war record of Russell Rose of Mass? Also I would like to know if there was a Russel Rose in the Conn. line, if so his record too. I know the one from Mass. was granted a pension but would like full particulars as I had always supposed my great grandfather Russell Rose was in the Conn. line as he was born and married there and came from there to Penn. Just possibly the name might have been given as Russell Ball Rose as his mother was Achsa Ball. As complete information as you can furnish will be greatly appreciated Bertha Smith Parsons.

My ancestor, Russel Rose , served in the battle of Freenton and at Valley Forge.
His daughter stated that Russel Rose served in

Washington's staff. Do the records in your office show that the person who served on Washing- ton's staff?
No person claimed was, I believe, W. 5718.
