Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the War of 1812 record of William T. Stoutenburgh, of New York City and Greenwich, New York, whose wife was Catherine Westervelt, and of any soldier of that war and the Revolutionary War with your surname.
Because of the great demand for Revolutionary War and War of 1812 data, and the limited trained clerical force available for furnishing such information, it is impossible to comply in full with each request pertaining to soldiers of those wars.
There is no claim for pension on file based upon service in the War of 1812 of a William T. Stoutenburgh (variously spelled). Only two claims for pension for service in the Revolutionary War have been found under the surname Stoutenburgh, those of Andrew and Benjamin, both of New York State. Thier records are furnished you herewith. These records have been selected for you because of the earlier period in which these men served, rather than War of 1812 records.
It may interest you to know that should you be in this city at some future date, you may examine and collect data from the War of 1812 claims for pension on file under the name Stoutenburgh. Those records are located at present in Room 1851, 8th Wing, Navy Building, 19th and Constitution Avenue, N. W., this city.
It is regretted, indeed, that your letter could not have been answered sooner.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER Executive Assistant to the Administrator

Sir,
With the transmittal declaration and papers on application of Andrew Stanton for a revolutionary soldier for a pension. Among the papers furnished as proof of service is a certificate of Genl. Philip Van Cortlandt which among other things purports to have been made after seeing an affidavit of Samuel Wheeler sworn before Robert McComb Justice of the Peace when Mr. Stanton brought his papers to my office which was some time in the Month of March last I examined the affidavit of Wheeler taken before Mr. McComb and found it so informally drawn that I concluded to send for Wheeler and get him to make an affidavit before John Lins Commissioner of the Peace but in consequence of his indisposition he was not able to come until to day. I had previously altered the certificate of Genl. Van Cortlandt for the name of the Commissioner so that he might make one on having the submitted to him that would agree with the aff. of Wheeler but on signing this day found that the Genl. had gone to the western part of the State and was not elsewhere to be found in some time and on looking I can not find the affidavit of Wheeler taken before Mr. McComb but believe it is lost or destroyed & have therefore, with this explanation to send the papers.
