Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request to know in what company or regiment Peter Slott served in the Revolutionary War and received certificates 56416, 57022 and 57608.
Your citations do not pertain to the Revolutionary War pension records of this office, but to certificates in payment for service rendered in the Revolutionary War which were given by the Paymaster General at the close of that war.
There is no claim for pension on file based upon service in the Revolutionary War of a Peter Slott. If he used any other spelling of that surname and you will furnish as much as possible of the following data as a means of identifying a record, another effort will be made to aid you: approximate dates of birth and death, places of residence at enlistment and after service and given name of widow.
