BA-J/CC Reuben Huntoon W.25808
Mrs. H.J.Nachtman 1165 South Grandview Avenue, Dubuque, Iowa.
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Reuben Huntoon, of Champlain, Clinton County, New York.
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in pension claim, W.25808, based upon service of Reuben Huntoon in the Revolutionary War.
Reuben Huntoon was the son of Joseph Huntoon, date and place of his birth and name of his mother are not shown.
While a resident of Marshfield, Vermont, Reuben Huntoon enlisted sometime in December 1775 or in January 1776, served one year as fifer in Captain Philip Tilton's company, Colonel Enoch Poor's New Hampshire regiment and was discharged at Mount Independence. His father, Joseph Huntoon, was lieutenant of this company. He enlisted sometime in June 1777, under Lieutenant Joseph Huntoon, his father, in Captain James Gray's company, Colonel Alexander Seammell's New Hampshire regiment for three years, served as drummer in that military organization about nine or ten months, was in the battle of Stillwater, and was then discharged on account of his father having been wounded in the arm and he took the place of his father's waiter whom his father had left in the service, the name of the waiter not stated. He enlisted again in March or April 1781 and served nine months under Lieutenant Joseph Huntoon and Captain Ebenezer Dearing in the New Hampshire troops.

The soldier was allowed pension on his application executed July 16, 1818, at which time he was aged fifty-seven years and a resident of Cabot, Washington County, Vermont.
Reuben Huntoon died March 30, 1844, in Champlain, Clinton County, New York.
Reuben Huntoon married January 18, 1816, or January 21, 1818, (both dates are shown) in Milton, Chittenden County, Vermont, Mrs. Mary Lawton, whose maiden name was Mary Woodard; they were both of the said Milton. She was the widow of John Lawton who died July 24, 1808, in Peacham, Vermont.
In 1820, the soldier's family consisted of his wife aged fifty- years and one child Irena Huntoon aged six years, the name of her mother not stated.
The soldier's widow, Mary Huntoon, was allowed pension on her application executed April 23, 1853, then aged seventy-eight years and a resident of Clinton County, New York.
March 20, 1855, Mary Huntoon, then a resident of Champlain, Clinton County, New York, made application for bounty land which was due on account of the service of her husband, Reuben Huntoon, in the Revolutionary War. She was granted one hundred sixty acres of bounty land on Warrant No.8446, under the Act of March 3, 1855.
In order to obtain information in regard to the location of the land cited above, you should address the Commissioner of the General Land Office, Interior Department, this city, and furnish the warrant number, the acreage, and the act under which said warrant was issued.
In August 1855, soldier's widow, Mary Huntoon moved to Chester, Windsor County, Vermont to live with her children; in 1856, she moved to Ithaca, Tompkins County, New York to live with Arial W. Lawton, her son, in 1858, she was residing in Evanston, Cook County, Illinois, her mail to be forwarded in care of George M. Huntoon of said Evanston, relationship not stated.
In March 1855, Irena A. Loomis and Dan Loomis were living in Champlain, Clinton County, New York. In August 1855, James Martin and Henrietta Martin were living in Chester, Windsor County, Vermont. No relationship to the family shown.

In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, the name and address of person paid and possibly the date of death of Mary Huntoon, widow of Reuben Huntoon, you should address the Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following data:
Mary Huntoon, widow of Reuben Huntoon Certificate No. 3774 Issued March 1, 1854 Rate $96.00 per annum Commenced February 3, 1853 Act of February 3, 1853 Illinois Agency.
