Hon. Vespasian Warner,
Commissioner of Pensions,
Washington, D. C.,
Dear Sir:-
My grandfather, Thomas Huntley, was a soldier in the revolutionary war. He first enlisted for three months and served in Capt. Durkey's company; he then enlisted from New York and served till the close of the war. He was pensioned under the act of 1818, and after his death his widow received a pension, at least I so think. I am unable to find a record here of his marriage, therefore if you will kindly send me a copy thereof, you will greatly oblige,
Yours very truly,
Hiram Cook
