Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Aaron, Joseph, William, John, Evan, Jonathan, Owen and Samuel Lovet or Lovett, of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, one of whom you state was the father of Aaron Lovett who was born February 26, 1786, in Falsington, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
There are no claims for pension or bounty land on file based upon service in the Revolution of Joseph or John Lovet or Lovett as described by you, or of any Aaron, William, Evan, Jonathan or Owen Lovett, under any spelling of the surname. Such claims are the source of data furnished by this office in regard to soldiers of the Revolutionary War.

Samuel Lovett was allowed pension on his application executed June 9, 1818, at which time he was aged sixty-four years and a resident of Crawford County, Pennsylvania. In 1819 he was residing in the Town of Oil Creek, Crawford County, Pennsylvania.
In 1820, the soldier was still residing in Crawford County, Pennsylvania, and referred to his wife, and to his three daughters aged

twelve, ten and between four and five years, respectively. He did not state the name and age of his wife or the names of his children.
In order to obtain date of last payment of pension, the name and address of the person paid and possibly the date of death of Samuel Lovett, you should write to the Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following data: Samuel Lovett, certificate #17207, issued May 29, 1820, rate $8 per month, commenced June 9, 1818, Act March 18, 1818, Pennsylvania Agency.
