Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter of October 16, in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Oliver Clark, of Haddam, Connecticut; Benjamin Clark, of Middletown, Westfield Parish, whose wife was Abiah Hall; James Cone, of Haddam, Connecticut, and Josiah Strong, private, $40, a Connecticut pensioner.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims for pension and bounty land made to the United States based upon military service of soldiers in that war.
A careful search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the Revolutionary War service of a Benajmin Clark or Clarke as described by you; or of any James Cone, under any spelling.
In order to identify the record of the particular soldier named Oliver Clark in whom you are interested, should it be on file, as much as possible of the following data in regard to him should be furnished: approximate dates of birth and death, places of residence at enlistment and after service and given name of widow.
The record of only one soldier named Josiah Strong was found in the Revolutionary War records of this office and it is given herewith.

I am writing to learn about my Great-grand Father one Ephraim Allen Ford, who fought in the "Revolutionary War". He was born in Wales. When pressed into the English service, said he could not fight - the Colonists as he believed they were right - When forced to leave he went over to the Americans and fought through the war, and remained here a true American. He was my

Grandmother's father, I regret - I was so young to get more of the details before Grand- mother died. The English would call him a deserter, but I am proud of his stand on principle.
I would also like to know about Josiah Strong who fought with Arnold at Montreal, and was with Washington when he crossed the Delaware, losing a leg. Thanking you in advance for any in- formation you may be able to give me.
I remain Yours Truly Harriet E. Strong.
