You are advised that it appears from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S.41702, that Crocker Jones (the name also appears as Croker Jones) enlisted in Wyoming Valley, Pennsylvania, in the winter of 1777, served as a private in Captain William Judd's Company, Colonel Wylllys' Connecticut Regiment, and in Colonel Zebulon Butler's Connecticut Regiment, was in Sullivan's Expedition and in several small engagements with the Indians and was discharged in the winter of 1780.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 27, 1818, at which time he was aged seventy years and resided in Plymouth, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. He later lived at Sharon, Pennsylvania.
In 1820, he was residing in Delaware County, Ohio, and then stated that his family consisted of his wife and one child under age, their names not stated and there are no further data as to his family.
He died December 27, 1839.
Very truly yours
