Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the records of Peter Groves, born in 1739, in Brimfield, Massachusetts, died in 1807, married Lydia Lumbarde, and served in the French and Indian War and Revolutionary War; also the record of Thomas Lumbarde, born 1735, was in the northern army in 1777, and whose daughter, Lydia, married the above named Peter Groves.
This office has no record of services rendered in the colonies prior to the Revolution.
There is no claim for pension on file based upon service in the Revolutionary War of the Thomas Lumbarde, described by you, nor of a Peter Groves. Such claims are the source of the data furnished by this office. The record has been found, however, of a Thomas Lumbarde, whose father was Thomas, and whose residence was Brimfield, Massachusetts, during the Revolutionary War. His record is furnished herein as it may be of assistance to you in your research.

In December of seventeen hundred & seventy six on my way to Piconderaga in company with a number of others, I stopped at a public house in Vermont, & on learning that we were from Brimfield, the landlord said that three very stout men tarried at his house on their way from Brimfield to Canada, & gave their names, viz. Thomas Lumbard, Adam Tomsley & Samuel Sherman. I mention this circumstance to account for my distinct recollection that said Lumbard was one of the company that went from this town to Canada. There might be others who went whose names I cannot now recollect. I believe no one who went on that expedition from this town is now alive, at least I know of no one's being alive at this time.

Sir
Enclosed I send the Papers of Anna Lumbard an applicant for a Pension.
You will observe that the Certificate of the Clerk of Hampden County is attached without the Ribbon & to avoid the expense of returning them to Springfield to get the Ribbon . I venture to send them as they are. I presume the Member of Congress from that district knows that Justice Foster is a Justice. If it is absolutely necessary to have the Ribbon in this case, will it be convenient for the Department to forward the affidavits to the Clerk at Springfield (Mass.) & get the Ribbon ?
You will observe that the testimony in relation to the services of Lumbard in Canada is not very full, but it is hoped that the records will supply any deficiency. As Maj. Abner Morgan, Isaac Bond & Miss Parker were with him in that Expedition perhaps their pension papers or file will give some clue to the matter. They are dead. Morgan resided in Livingston County & Bond in Madison County in this State. When Parker lived I know not.

The Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is hereby requested to furnish evidence from the rolls in his office of the service of my father Thomas Lumbard in the war of the Revolution. I believe my father was called Thomas Lumbard Junior while he was in the service. The residence of my father during the revolutionary war was in the town of Brimfield, then Hampshire County (Mass) - now Hampden County. I cannot state the names of the officers under whom my father served. My said father died when I was young & all that I know of his service is derived from tradition. My father is supposed to have been in the service during the years or some part thereof, of 1775, 76, 77, & 78 & perhaps during some other portions of the war. Report says that my father served at Roxbury - was in the expedition to Canada - was at the taking of Ticonderoga - was at the battle of White Plains - These are common & reports & I state them for your information in making the search - not wishing to have you confine your search to such reports alone.
