My dear Mr. Fuller:
In response to your letter dated January 14, 1906, and received in this Bureau January 15, 1906, I have the honor to advise you that the papers in claim Survivor's File No. 13,507, show that Noah Hutchins was born on March 28, 1758, in Voluntown, Conn.; that he enlisted in December 1776 from Windsor, Berkshire County, Mass., and served as a private three months under Captain William Watkins and Colonel Simonds, Massachusetts troops. Soon after he enlisted and served as a sergeant two months under Captain Joseph Pierce and Colonel William Clark. In August 1777 he enlisted as a sergeant under said officers and served one month. In September 1777 he enlisted as a sergeant under said officers and served two months; was present at the surrender of Burgoyne. In October 1778 he enlisted as a sergeant and served six months under Captain Ephraim Cleaveland and Colonel Jackson. At different times during the war he was out on alarms and scouting parties, in all about three months; officers names not stated.
He applied for pension on September 11, 1832, while a resident of Orleans, Jefferson County, N. Y. His claim was allowed. He died August 13, 1838. No family data.
