Dear Madam:
This is in reply to your letter of January 16, 1940, in which you request information from the pension record of Craig Kelly, said to have served in Captain Olmstead's Company in the Revolutionary War.
The records of this office show that Craig Kelly served in the Revolutionary War as a corporal in Captain David Olmstead's Company in the Regiment of Connecticut State Troops in the service of the United States, commanded by Colonel Roger Enos. He is shown to have been engaged for three months; that he arrived in camp June 3, 1778, and that he was discharged September 5, 1778.
All pension records are in the custody of the Veterans' Administration, Washington, D.C., and your letter has therefore been transmitted to that Administration for consideration with regard to the pension record of Craig Kelly.
The collection of Revolutionary War records in this office is incomplete, and it is suggested as a possibility that additional information may be also obtained from the Librarian, State Library, Hartford, Connecticut.

Gentlemen:-
It is necessary for me to obtain proof of my ancestor's service in the Revolutionary War and I understand that you have the record of his pension on file and supplied information to another branch of the family on October 26, 1920. Either the letter or the pension was numbered

W 20304. It gave the information that Craig Kelly enlisted for service in the Revolutionary War in 1779 from Ridgefield Connecticut, established by the fact that a pension was granted his wife in 1839. His commanding officer was Colonel Bazalell Brabe. The pension also men- tioned the names and birth dates of his sons. I am in great need of official confirmation of these facts. Will you be so good as to supply it. Sincerely (Miss.) Adeline B. Kelly

Dear Sir:
A little more than a year ago, in reply to a request I had made, Mr. F. D. Byington, Acting Commissioner, very kindly gave me a record of the military history of Craig Kelly , a soldier of the Revolutionary War. He sent me also a list of the names of his children with the dates of the birth of each. I knew at the time that two names were omitted, but I waited hoping to get full information in regard to when they were born. This recently came into my possession in the form of a leaf taken from an old family bible. This gives, in addition to the list sent me, the following: Benjamin Kelly, born Aug. 9, 1778 and Nathaniel Kelly, born Jan'y 5, 1803. Nathaniel Kelly was my father, and I have often heard Benjamin Kelly spoken of in my childhood, as well as the other sons and daughter of Craig and Sibbel Kelly. Will you kindly inform me if the names of Benjamin and Nathaniel do not appear on the records in the Pension Office, or if they were omitted in copying the list of names sent to me.
Yours respectfully

Dear Sirs:
I have been informed that Craig Kelly, who was born somewhere in New Jersey, served in the Army of the Revolution either as Sergeant or Corporal. He died I believe about 1812 or 1813. Some time between 1830 and 1840 his widow, Sibyl Kelly, applied to the Government for a pension which was granted and paid to the time of her death, of which date I have no knowledge. If your records show any account of this will you kindly inform me when the pension was granted and to what date it was paid. I would like to know also in what Regiment of the Army he served.
The Bible which contained the family record was sent to Washington when the application was made, but I believe it was never returned to the family.
Yours truly
Edward L. Kelly
At the time the pension was granted Sibyl Kelly resided either in New York City, or in West Farms, N.Y., now a party of New York City.

In reply to your requirement, why was not information furnished relative to the death of said Sybbl Kelly previous to the issuing of the Pension warrant we can only observe that the fact had not come to our knowledge. The children probably deemed it immaterial and we have ourselves never till now been apprised of the necessity of transmitting this information. If required we can make oath that we had no knowledge of the death until after the receipt of the Pension certificate.
