Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter requesting information in regard to Nehemiah Joy, a soldier of the War of the Revolution.
The data furnished herein are obtained from the papers on file in the pension claim, W. 26162, based upon the military service of Nehemiah Joy during the Revolutionary War.
Nehemiah Joy was born in Weymouth, Massachusetts, date not given.
He enlisted in the spring of 1777 and served as orderly sergeant in Captain Cushing's company in Colonel Revere's Artillery Regiment of Massachusetts troops, and was discharged in the spring of 1780.
He married in the fall of 1784 in Goshen, Hampshire County, Massachusetts, Hannah Leach. The marriage bond was published, September 6, 1784 and they were married at the house of Samuel Leach, no relationship to the said Hannah shown.

Sir
Milwaukee Oct 8, 1842
Herewith I send you the semi-annual Statement of this Pension agency - from which it appears, that the remittance for the payment of invalid pensions, is exhausted - I have had to refuse payment to some pensioners, on that account. There are three other applications for pensions, which I cannot pay without express direction - to wit, Mrs. Ann Thomas, Mrs. Emice Barlow & the children of Hannah Foy. The papers in the latter case are enclosed.
Mrs. Foy & Mrs. Thomas are enrolled under the act of 7 July 1838, and in the description list of funds sent to me, by a letter from the 3rd Auditor of May 11/42 were appropriated for payments under that act. Mrs. Barlow, is not enrolled on the list furnished me by your predecessor, and I have need no direction, to enrol her, nor if she were on there any fund for her case. If I have authority to transfer I can pay more - but I shall want at least $1000.00 to make all the payments now due.
Please inform me also, whether I am to expect no compensation in any form for incurring the responsibility and performing the duties of Pension agent.

Miami, Fla. Oct. 19 th 1931 Mr. E. W. Morgan, Dear Sir:-
I am very anxious to secure some data in regard to one Nehemiah Joy who was a soldier in the Revolutionary War and a pensioner, and Mr. Chas. F. Wheeler, Grand Rapids, advised me to write to you.
I know only that said Nehemiah Joy was born 1758, the son of Nehemiah Joy of Weymouth, Mass. born 1726, that he was a Revolutionary soldier and that the last of his pay and pension was collected by one Israel Williams about 1844 or 1845.
As you know, this data is

not complete enough to ensure me a membership in the D. A. R. but if I can secure a record of this Nehemiah Joy taken from the records of the Pension Bureau it would materially aid me. Can you help me in this? As you, of course, know this should contain all details, battles in which he participated, wife or wives, children if any, date of death, &c. you probably know better than I what information is essential to establish my claim.
If you can furnish it, please do so and let me know whatever charge there may be. By so doing you will greatly oblige
Yours Mrs. Minnie E. Mason #304 N. E. 23rd St. Miami, Fla.
