ANTHONY SLUTHOUR S. 40441 BA-J/MLB
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Daniel Lee, born 1744, married 1768, Esther Banks, in Fairfield, Connecticut, served from that state and died in 1833; David Schryver or Schrievers, of New York, born 1748, married Rebecca Pawling and died May 7, 1813; and Anthony Sludhower or Slothouer who served from York County, Pennsylvania.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims for pension and bounty land made to the United States based upon military service of soldiers in that war.
A careful search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the Revolutionary War service of Daniel Lee as described; or of any David Schryver (under any spelling). The record of one Anthony Sluthour (as his name appears in the claim) was found as of York County, Pennsylvania, and is given herein as shown in the papers on file in pension claim, S. 40441, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
The date and place of soldier's birth and names of his parents are not shown.
He enlisted in 1777 at Hanover, York County, Pennsylvania, served as a private in Captain Eichelberger's company, Colonel Hartley's regiment and was discharged after having served one year six months.
In 1828 he was residing in York County, Pennsylvania, aged seventy-seven years.
Anthony Sluthour was allowed pension under the Act of May 20, 1830; his pension commenced January 1, 1828.
There are no data relative to family.
Very truly yours

Mr. A.D. Hiller, War and Pension Department, Washington, D.C.
My dear Mr. Hiller:
I would appreciate it very much if you would be so kind as to give me the Revolutionary Service of the following men and any other information you have concerning them, provided you are permitted to do this:
1. Daniel Lee born Nov. 21, 1744 and died Oct. 14, 1833. He married on Nov. 16, 1768 in Fairfield, Connecticut Esther Banks.
Note: I understand there were a couple of men by the name of Daniel Lee who enlisted from Connecticut. It is for this reason that I give you the above data.
2. David Schryver or Schrievers - New York born 1748 and died May 7, 1813. He married Rebecca Pawling.
3. Anthony Sludhower or Slothouer listed in Muster Roll of Captain John Sharp's Company on Foot in the Third Battalion of the County of York in Pennsylvania for the years (1786 - 1787 - 1788). Did he ever apply for a pension and if so, have you any information or data about him?
In case there is a charge for this information, please let me know the cost before you look it up.
Thanking you very much for your kindness, I remain,
Gratefully,
Katharine Tizzard (Mrs. E.B. Tizzard, 300 Volusia Avenue, Dayton, Ohio.)
