Dear Sir:
Will you please be kind enough to inform me of the names of the wife and children of Abr'm or Abraham Hyatt, and whether or not they received pensions from his service as a Lieutenant in the Revolutionary War? I understand you may have this information on record.
The above mentioned Abraham Hyatt, an ancestor of mine, served in the Revolutionary War, in the Fourth New York Regiment under Cols. Livingston and Swartwout and under Captain Wm. Clarke. I believe he joined his Company at Beekman, Dutchess County, New York.
I am very anxious to obtain the above information, especially the names of the wife and children and shall be very much obliged if you will furnish what information you may have. I am endeavoring to trace my ancestors back to one who fought in the Revolution, hoping to find myself eligible to membership to the Sons of the Revolution.
Enclosed please find stamped addressed envelope for reply.
Hoping you may be able to give me the desired information and thanking you in anticipation of same, I am
Yours very truly,

Mrs. T. J. Hindman, 1214 West Jefferson Street, Fort Wayne, Ind.
Madam:
In response to your letter received the 4" instant, you are advised that two hundred acres of bounty land were allowed on Warrant No. 988, which issued May 5, 1791, on account of the Revolutionary War services of Lieutenant Abraham Hyat of the New York troops. There is no further data on file relative to said soldier or his family owing to the destruction of the papers in such claims when the War Office was burned in 1800. A careful search of the records fails to show a claim for pension on file on account of his services.
The Revolutionary War records of this Bureau fail to afford any information in regard to Colonel James Hindman and Lieutenant John Hindman.
Very respectfully,
E. M. Morgan Commissioner.
