Mrs. Eliza Austin Dickinson,
No. 720 West Genesee St., Syracuse, N.Y.
Madam:-
In reply to your inquiry for a statement of the service of Jacob Loomis in the Revolutionary War, I have to advise you that it appears from the papers in the case that he enlisted as a private in the month of January 1776 in Captain Thomas Dyer's Co., of Col. John Durkee's Conn. Troops, and served therein about seventeen months.
At the time of his application for pension, which was in January 1820, he resided at Lebanon, Conn., and was 65 years of age.
It appears that he served at Cambridge, Mass.; in the neighborhood of New York City, and was present at the taking of the Hessians at Trenton.
A pension was granted to him in July, 1820.
No information in regard to his death is afforded by the papers.
Very respectfully,
(Signed)
W. L. Commissioner.
