Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Walter Taylor and Hugh Dobbin, both of New York.
There is no claim for pension or bounty land on file based upon the military service in the Revolutionary War of Hugh Dobbin. Such claims are the source of the data furnished by this office.
It is suggested that as a possible means of obtaining information in regard to the military service of that soldier, you apply to The Adjutant General, War Department, this city, who is custodian of military records.
The record of Walter Taylor, the only soldier of that name found on the Revolutionary War records of this office, is furnished you herein, the data for which were obtained from the papers on file in claim for pension, W.19436, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
The date and place of birth and the names of the parents of Walter Taylor are not shown.
Walter Taylor enlisted in the state of New York, date not shown, and served at different times under Captains Abraham Oothout, Thomas B. Bancker, Jesse Van Slyck and Guy Young and Colonel Abraham Wempel in the New York Troops: it was stated that he was in the campaign against Burgoyne and went on expeditions to Schoharie Fort and Stone Arabia. He served from May 2, 1782 to January 1, 1783, under Colonel Abraham Wempel in defence of the frontiers of New York.
He died in October, 1830, place not shown.

Walter Taylor married August 19, or 29, 1787, Nancy or Anna Bradt, of Schenectady, New York. They were married by the Reverend Dirk Romayn, pastor of the Reformed Dutch Church of Schenectady at the home of the pastor in Schenectady.
Soldier's widow, Anna, was allowed pension on her application executed June 4, 1840, while residing in Schenectady, New York. At that time she stated that she was aged seventy-two years. In 1848, she was living in Seneca, Ontario County, New York, and at that time gave her age as seventy-eight years.
There are no data as to children.
