BA-J/ILL XXXXXXXXXXXX Abisha Smith-S.18226
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter requesting information relative to Abisha Smith, a Revolutionary War pensioner.
The data furnished herein are obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, S. 18226, based upon his service in that war.
Abisha Smith was born January 14, 1755 in Haddam, Middlesex County, Connecticut.
While a resident of Haddam, Connecticut, he enlisted January 1, 1776 and served one year as a private in Captain Abraham Tyler's Company, Colonel Jedediah Huntington's Connecticut Regiment. He enlisted sometime in March, 1777, served under Jeremiah Wadsworth, Commissary General of Connecticut, was at the burning of Danbury and continued to serve at that place until the expiration of a service of two years. He enlisted sometime in April, 1779, served as private in Captain Levi Collins' Company, Colonel Wylllys' Connecticut Regiment, length of service six months.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 1, 1818, at which time he resided in his native town, Haddam, Connecticut.
In 1820, the soldier referred to his wife, aged sixty-five years, whose name is not stated, and to two unmarried daughters, Ann, aged thirty-six years, and Berinda, aged twenty-seven years. In 1829, he referred to the heirs of his older brother but he did not give any names.
This is the record of the only soldier named Abisha Smith who served in the Connecticut troops found on the Revolutionary War records of this office.
Very truly yours,

Kindly send me information about Abisha Smith a soldier of Revolutionary War. He was pensioned. I am looking up my Genealogy. The Smith family. This Abisha Smith was my great grandfather. Grandfather, the father of Joseph Smith my grandfather. I do not know just how to begin this task but being in Hartford Conn for a while wanted to get all information I could. My line of Smiths

Came from Haddam Connecticut There being so many Smiths I find it difficult to determine the correct line I am also want to find the Smith family crest with its correct colors. I am planning to join the N.A.S. so would like to get all information I can. You doubtless have much information in regard to this. I would be very much pleased with any suggestions you can offer.

Haddam (Con.) April 22 d 1835
Hon. J. L. Edwards, Esquire,
Sir,
The declarations of Abisha Smith, Noadiah Cone and Jonathan Sabin will accompany this communication. The two latter, it is apprehended, are now authenticated in every respect as required by the regulations.
Since the decision, that his service at Danbury was "obviously under a civil contract and not within the act of the 7 th June 1832," Mr Smith abandons any claim for a pension for that period of service. As it respects his service in 1779 "not noticed in his declaration under the act of 1818," and which it is claimed "is not now supported by the best evidence," he says that he has truly stated in his declaration, "that he knows of no person living by whom he can prove" that period of service. He trusts, however, that he shall be allowed a pension for 12 or 18 months.
The original declaration of Augustus Lewis is also forwarded. The depositions which were attached to this declaration, have been affixed to his declaration now in the Pension Office. Mr Lewis has not lived to partake of the bounty of his Country. He has, however, left a needy & meritorious family -
I am desired to request, that these applications may be acted upon as early as is consistent with the regulations of the Department, and that any further communications relative to them may be directed to me -
I am, Sir, Respectfully
Your Obedient Serv t
