Secretary of War McKinstry

Portland Village N. York Octo 12. 1809.
I enclose you the papers of Capt. Parry, taken out Underwood Quarters & Rev. Marong. Quarters has forwarded no proof - for it is not here understood that if their names are found on the rolls of the War Office any proof of service is required, in a former communication I have request- ed to be certified as to that fact.
Subj's paper had been sent back for Proof with the Endors. "Proof of service independent of the Wagon service is required" — that Proof is furnished but as there was no Certificate of the judge that he was in Reduced circumstances and so &c — I have cause that to be annexed —
Monomys base is this — his statement is that he enlisted in Grahams Company & Van Schaicks Regiment & served about 3 years &c
proof—same. Gilbert's deposition is that he knew him as drummer—that he served to the blow of the war in '83—and saw him at Smith River where he was discharged—
On

Abijah Reynolds deposition is that he knew Maury that he saw him relate as stated by him - that he served the '83. when he was discharged at the Close of the War at Snake River - that he served 3 1/2 Years or thereabout
Robert Ryans deposition goes no further, than to show he knew him in the army -
but independent of Ryans testimony that of Gibbs and Reynolds is conclusive by which the facts of his declination are confirmed - from the respec- tability of the Witnesses, where they are known their statements separately would be sufficient where one Witness would answer -
I have thus presumed to present you a brief of the testimony in the case of Maury, I hope that the proof will by you be con- sidered sufficient - if however any further is required, he must abandon it as fruitless for he is extremely poor that he cannot procure further testimony - but I cannot believe but the testimony will be sufficient.
respectfully
Rowell Vanduzee
Please Enclose paper or Certificate of Pension to me -

Mr Frederick J. Millener, 588 Child Street, Rochester, New York.
Sir:-
In response to your undated letter received the thirtieth ultimo, you are advised that the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau fail to show that a claim was ever filed on account of any service rendered under the name of Alexander H. Millener or Alexander Mulrooney.

There are no further particulars of service.

In 1820. he referred to his wife Abigail aged forty-four years and six children dependent upon him; viz Patty aged fourteen years; Merriam aged twelve years; Sally aged ten years; Joel P. Potter Marony aged eight years; John aged six years; and Polly aged about two months.
There is no other family data. and the soldier did not refer to the name "Millener"!!
He was allowed one hundred and sixty acres of bounty land on account of his above-cited service. and in the application therefor. executed April 21. 1855. in Cayuga County. New York. one James Millener of said County. was a witness to his signature but there is no relationship stated nor any other data relative to him.
Alexander Marony's pension was paid to March 4. 1865. - the date of his death is not shown.

My Dear Sir,
Acting upon the recommendation of the Adjutant Genl Office of the War Department Enclosure 2/2003 Jan 21 st which I am sending you.
There must be some mistake or oversight some where in regard to the name of Alexander H. Miller or as he is known on the Rolls as Alexander Mulrooney not appearing on the Records.
Alexander H Miller enlisted as a Drummer Boy at the age of 11 under Genl Washington serving in his Campaign in New York State at the battle of Saratoga and at Yorktown & witnessing the surrender of Lord Cornwallis. He lived to the age of 105 and died in Rochester in 1865 at the home of his son Joel P. Miller. Isaac B. Miller now in the Government service at Washington has his full War history May I ask as a Relative

& descendant you will take this matter up in order that any honor will be rightly bestowed in history

Observing the enclosed clipping in a morning relating to the preservation of the Records + history of Revolutionary Soldiers and wishing as a great grand son of one of those that are honored + glory should be given who fought to bring forth our flag + Country for future generations May I ask, Is the name of Alexander Hamilton Millener in this report of Records. On the War Records of your office it is given as Alexander Mulrooney he taking the name of his step father His father having been killed at the battle of Quebec when the English moved against the French under Genl Wolfe Alexander Millener when a mere boy enlisted at the age of 12 as a Drummer Boy under Genl George Washington and followed the fortunes of war under that illustrious leader and at the

battle Valley Forge I witnessed and Quoting this State going by the name of Alexander Mcbroney and as such witnessed the fall and surrender of Lord Cornwallis Muffing his drum at the head of a Victorious Army. which has been described in picture & in history I understand the painting of the Picture of the "Spirit of 1776" was inspired by the Artist who when a boy in after years witnessed a 4 th of July Celebration with Alexander H. Miller then old & gray with his drum at the head. with Eyes full of patrimony Hence today we have the "Spirit of 1776" He died in Rochester N.Y. in 1865- seeing his grandson Isaac B. Miller a soldier for the Union under Farragut in the Navy. at the age of 105 His picture as well as those of his Wife taken at the age 95- today hangs in the Rooms of the Rochester Historical society here in Ephraim Place and known as Washington Drummer Boy at the Surrender of Lord Cornwallis. His

Vernon I understand is still present under the care of the United States Government.
Mr Isaac B. Millener now of Washington D C is one of his grandsons as well as my father Alexander H. Millener of this City now 76 years of age I trust & hope that this Report & Record will include the name of Alexander H. Millener 1 st Known on the files of the War Department as Alexander Mulrooney.
