S
Sir:
In response to your letter of the 4" instant, you are advised that the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau fail to afford any information in regard to Daniel Beers described by you.
The Census of Pensioners of 1840, quoted by you, was compiled from the returns of the Marshals of the several judicial districts, under the Act for taking the Sixth Census, ( see title page of said volume ), and without reference to the archives of this Bureau, and in many cases, it is not possible to verify the statements contained therein, especially as the residence in 1840, of pensioners, is in many instances not on record.
The Bureau has not been able to identify a claim for pension on file for Joseph Monroe a resident of Lewisboro, Westchester Co., N. Y. aged 77 years in 1840, as cited on page 104 of said volume. Another search of the records will be made in your behalf, if you will furnish as much as possible of the following data in regard to the Joseph Monroe, ( or similar name ) whose record you desire: approximate dates of his birth and death, places of his residence at enlistment and after service.
Very respectfully,
Washington Gardner
