Mrs. E.V.Howlet 53 1/2 Huron Street, W. Pontiac, Michigan
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Jacob Hutchins, who served as a private in the New York troops under Colonel Frederick Weissenfels.
The data which follow are obtained from the papers on file in Revolutionary War pension claim, S.13479, based upon the military service in that war of Jacob Hutchings, the only soldier of that name or similar spelling, who served with the New York troops, that is found on the Revolutionary War records of this office.
Jacob Hutchings was born February 27, 1754, in Westchester County, New York. The names of his parents are not shown.
While a resident of Beekman, Dutchess County, New York, Jacob Hutchings enlisted and served as a private with the New York troops as follows: from May 1, 1776, six days in Captain Cornelius Van Wyck's Company; from July, 1776, ten days under same captain; from August 1, 1776, five months under same captain and Colonel Jacobus Swartwout; from April, 1777, twelve days in Captain Morey's Company; from June, 1777, eight days, names of officers not given; from September, 1777, one month in Captain Morey's Company, Colonel Benjamin Burcher's (evidently meant for Birdsall's) Regiment; at the time of the burning of Fort Montgomery, fifteen days, names of officers not given; from June, 1778, one month and assisted in building the fort at West Point, names of officers not given; from June, 1779, fifteen days in Captain Morey's Company, Colonel James Vandeburgh's Regiment; from sometime in 1781, three months in Captain Henry Dodge's Company, Colonel Wydervelt's (evidently meant for Weissenfels') Regiment.
He said I'm saying. He stated that I could find nothing like it, so I missed name of town
morey & Birdsall were together
Henry Dodge served as captain in Col. Weissenfels' Regt

After the Revolution, Jacob Hutchings moved to Half Moon, Saratoga County, New York, then moved to Malta, same county and state, where he was living when he was allowed pension on his application executed September 4, 1832. He was borne on the pension rolls as Jacob Hutchins.
There are no data as to family.
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, the name and address of person paid and possibly the date of death of the Revolutionary War pensioner, Jacob Hutchins(S.13479) you should address The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following data:
