Dear sir;--
I am desirous of learning something of the activities of my paternal great grandfather, Solomon Huntley, during the Revolutionary war period, and am advised that I may get the information from your office.
He was a private in Capt. Jonathan Brewster's Company, 17th., Regt. Continental Troops in 1775-76.
He also served from June 7, 1777 to June 7, 1780 in Capt. Benj. Throop's Company, 1st., Connecticut Regt. under Co. Josiah Starr.
Was a pensioner in 1840 having applied in 1820 and died in Syracuse, N. Y.
If from your records you can give me any information as to what actions he may have taken part in or anything else of interest connected with his service it would be greatly appreciated by me.
Permit me to thank you in advance for anything you can do for me in connection with the above and allow me to remain,
Yours very truly,
LH

Dear Sir: — Solomon Huntley, a Rev. soldier and pensioner died in Camillus, N.Y. near this city, Mar. 4, 1847. I would like to learn definitely the place and date of his birth, and anything about his family that can be obtained from his application for a pension and the details of his service. He was from Connecticut, probably from New London County. He had a second wife whom he married here but I have been unable to get the name of the mother of his children or much about his family except one son who died here some years ago. I will sincerely appreciate anything that may be found in your office!

Mrs. D. P. Waldo Concord
Dear Sir
Accompanying please find Mrs. Huntley's papers. I sent her husband's certificate of pension for the balance due her, to your office sometime in March last.
I would have said there was no balance due her on that certificate (of her died 4 th March 1847) and she drew the pension up to that day. I think she has made an error of one year. But if it goes back to the time of his death the office receipts will show the time. She says her husband "died six years ago in March" and I cannot think he died the day he made his pension application.
The papers of marriage and death have already been filed, if anything further is wanting, please inform me. You will please notice the power of attorney to me withdraw all others.
Yours very respectfully
