Madam:
I have to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 37631, it appears that JOSEPH LINEKIN enlisted at Boothbay, Massachusetts, which was later Maine, February 18, 1777, served as a private in Captains Israel Davis' and Christopher Woodbridge's Companies in Colonel Wigglesworth's 13th Massachusetts Regiment; he was at the capture of Burgoyne and the battles of Monmouth and Rhode Island and was discharged February 12, 1780.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 8, 1818, at which time he was a resident of St. George, Lincoln County, Maine District.
On 1820 he stated that he was sixty-seven years of age.
There are no data on file relative to wife and children.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner

Martinez, Calif., Jan. 31. 1927. Department of Revolutionary Pensions, Washington, D. C.,
Gentlemen:
Please send me such data as you may have of Revolutionary military records: of Capt. Joseph Cook, pre- sumably of Mass. or R. I., poss- bly of Virginia.
Col. Joshua Reynolds, and Capt. Moses Reynolds, N. Y. As the army moved thru the colonies I am not quite sure of the location but am giving the home of pensioner. For instance Captain was born in Rhode Island - Tiverton, 1737. Married at Long Plain Mass. 1773, and fought from 1778 to 1780 I think.

Two others I am anxious to find. They were Mr.
Linckin or Linkin, lived near Rocklin, Maine, - under mass regime at that time also Mr. — Till we think Va. possibly Penn. We think we know the first names but are not positive. We hope you can find both Linckin and Till on your records.
Awaiting your early advice I am Very truly yours
