To whom it may concern
I do hereby certify that the bearer hereof, Samuel Rockhojai for nearly of the 4 th in Pennsylvania Reg t of Artillery in the service of the United States during the Revolutionary War, lived in my neighborhood several years, at which time his sight was repeated bad, and often, since he has removed, I have been obliged, at meeting him to assist him first, as he would have passed without knowing me believing him to be poor, not knowing of his having any property, and his being subject to fits, for which he was discharged by me. I do conscientiously believe him to be a deserving Object contemplated by the late Act of Congress and recommend him as such.

Dear Sir:-
I have been in communication with the Adjutant General's Office, War Department, in connection with information I am desirous of obtaining regarding one Samuel Kookogey, who served in the Revolutionary War, and they suggested that I write your office thinking possibly that additional information may be obtained therefrom. In view of the peculiarity of the name, I appreciate the difficulty of getting information, and for your aid, I give you three ways in which the name may be spelled. Kooockogey, Kockugay, and Kokoski.
My grandfather informs me that he was a Polander, and acted as spy in the Continental Army. Any information you can give me will be greatly appreciated. My reason for asking this record is, that I am desirous of qualifying for membership in the Society of the Sons of the Revolution.
Very truly yours,
SMK/R
