Dear Sir Sometime in the month of June last a number of pension papers were sent to the War Office from this place, they were all returned as continued on the pension roll except one by the name of Joseph Woodworth , and your remark in your communication was that his case was suspended for further examination , but no returns have yet been made - by the request of Mr Woodworth I make this communication to you thinking it might have been forgotten through the multiplicity of business, and request you would examine his papers and communicate to me the result, and if he is not continued please inform me the reason - he is a man in want and I think justly entitled to the pension -

Dear Sir:
Can I obtain thro your office, information of the service of Joseph Woodworth a soldier in the Revolutionary War? He was my Great- Grandfather and I wish to get an official record of

his service, the Company 4th Regiment in which he served, by which to prove my eligibility to the D. A. R. Society.
The said Joseph Woodworth I believe he received a pension from the U. S. Gov. and as my Grand mother was born in 1800 at Rensselaerville, Schoharie Co., N. Y. he could probably be traced back from a

N.Y. State pensioner, Tho I think he enlisted from New England -
Our family records were burned eight years ago, and my memory is not positive, but the nearest I can say would be born 1758 went to war 1776 died 1842.
Any information or suggestion as to where to apply for it will be most gratefully received - and the cost

if any met. Thanking you I remain

Dear Sir:-
May I inquire if I can secure a copy of the affidavit of Joseph Woodworth dated September 30th, 1818, application for pension No. 3153? If so, should be glad to secure it in reference to some genealogical work on this branch of the family that I am writing.
Yours very truly,

Dear Sir:- Is there a record of Abner Woodworth, born Little Compton, R.I. Aug 2-1724, and lived at Salisbury Conn., on the Pension lists?
Or, of Joseph Woodworth, only his son, born Oct 18, 1759 at Salisbury Conn. ?
If these men gave military service and accepted land grants instead of pension, where would I inquire for the information?
Thanking you for this information I remain
Yours truly
Mrs Pearl Carlton.
