Dear Mr. Garrison,
I am of the opinion that the proposed plan of the P. and O. Co. is a very good one.

This Bureau can furnish the military record of only such Revolutionary soldiers as were pensioned or whose widows were pensioned for their services.
Such of the original muster and pay rolls of the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 as are now in the possession of the Government are on file in the Record and Pension Office, War Department. Original rolls and other records pertaining to service in the Revolutionary War may also be found on file in the archives of many of the original States.

Dear Sir:-
I wish to find out the Regiment in which Apollo's King served in the Revolutionary Army. He came from Massachusetts and his term of service was from January to December , 1780, and his age was then about seventeen years. He drew a pension for services in the Revolutionary Army, at Syracuse, from 1838 to 1841, which last date is the date of his death, and thereafter his widow drew pension. If he bore any rank, I would like to know what that was, and the date of his commission.
If you can give me this information, it will greatly oblige,
Yours truly,
Samuel B King

Madam: -
In returning herewith your letter of the 13th inst., I have the honor to advise you that Apollis King made an application for pension on September 12th, 1832, at which time he was residing at Otisco, N. Y., and 69 years of age, and his pension was allowed for 12 months and 13 days actual service as a private in the Mass. troops, Revolutionary war; a part of the time he served under Capt. Samuel Woodbridge and Col. Smith. He enlisted from Chesterfield, Mass.
A very careful search has been made and, from the data given, the name of Paul King has not been found upon the Revolutionary pension records. The Bureau is, therefore, unable to supply you with any information concerning him.
Very respectfully,
