Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to four soldiers of the Revolutionary War: John Manning and John Odell, of Dutchess County, New York; Peter Hulbert, of Orange County, New York; and Parker Foster, of Massachusetts.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims made to the United States for pension and bounty land based upon military service of soldiers of that war.
A careful search of the Revolutionary War records has been made in your behalf and no record found of such claims having been made on account of the services of Peter Hulbert, or similar spelling, in that war.
The data furnished by you are not sufficient to enable this office to make a proper search of the records for a soldier named John Odell: as a means of identifying the particular record in which you are interested, should it be on file, it is essential that you furnish as much as possible of the following data: approximate dates of birth and death, places of residence at enlistment and after service and given name of widow. It will expedite the matter if you will return this letter should you reply.
You are furnished herewith, on separate sheets, the histories of John Manning (S.34428) , the only soldier of that name who served in the New York troops, and Parker Foster (S.35326) , the only soldier of that name found on the Revolutionary War records of this office, the data for which were obtained from their respective claims for pension based upon their military service in that war.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER Assistant to Administrator.

Could not Capt Wright identify
The date and place of birth and the names of the parents of John Manning are not shown in the papers in the pension claim.
He enlisted at Orange, New Jersey, in June, 1777, served as a private in Captain John Wright's Company, Colonel James Livingston's New York Regiment; in the fall of 1780, was transferred to Colonel John N. Cumming's New Jersey Regiment, and served until the spring of 1781; he was in the battle of Rhode Island, where he received a wound from a musket ball which entered his body near his groin, and was taken prisoner and held six months; he was at the taking of Burgoyne, and at the battles of Paramus and Springfield.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 8, 1818, while residing in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey. He then stated that he was aged fifty-four years; in 1820, that he was aged fifty-nine years; and in 1824, sixty-seven years; no explanation was made for these discrepancies in age.
In 1820, his wife Sarah, was aged about fifty-three years and a daughter, Catherine, about seventeen years. In 1824, the age of soldier's wife, Sarah, was given as sixty-six years. Her maiden name and the date of their marriage are not shown and there are no further family data.
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 the Revolutionary War pensioner, John Manning(S.34422), you should address the Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, citing the following data:
John Manning, Certificate No.3000, issued September 26, 1818, rate $8 per month, commenced April 8, 1818, Act of March 18, 1818, New Jersey Agency.

Statement to be a man of good character, that he is poor, and through age and infirmity is unable to support himself.
Claimant aged 67 by trade a saddle tree maker. That in con- sequence of a wound received in the War, he is unable to pro- vide for himself & family. Wife 66 quite infirm.

Draft.
In June 1824. Mr. John Manning a soldier of the revolution made application to the Secretary at War for a renewal of his Pension (he having been dropped from the Pension List on account of his property) His application was duly forwarded to the War Department. Sometime after Mr. Manning or myself received from Mr. Edwards of the Pension Office a letter (which has been mislaid) stating as near as I can recollect that it would be necessary for Mr. Manning, before his application could be passed upon to produce an authenticated copy of the Deed he gave to Mr. Stephens, the person who purchased his property - and likewise show to the Department the application of the money he received for his property, by affidavits from his creditors &c. &c. Mr. Manning has at considerable trouble & expense procured the enclosed papers - which he has desired me to forward to you, with a request that you would please to have them laid before the Secretary at War. I am informed that Mr. M. is a very deserving man & any assistance that you can render him in this business will be gratefully remembered by him as well as by his friend &
