Dear Sir -
I wish to send data concerning the service of two ancestors of mine who served in Revolutionary War. Does the name of Peter Christie (also borne Christy ) appear on pension rolls from New Hampshire? He first served in Col. John Stark's 1st New Hampshire Regiment, under Capt. Geo. Reid from April 23-1775 to Aug. 1, 1775.
Again as private, in Capt. Joseph Finlay's Company, New Hampshire Volunteers. "Marched from Londonderry N.H. to Saratoga N.Y." Service Oct 1-1777 to Dec. 12-1777. As I do not know date of birth, I am anxious to ascertain it, and am now resorting to pension rolls. If he drew a pension - did it consist of a land grant

or money? After the war, he settled on a farm near Greenwich, Washington Co. N.Y. which made me think he might have received land.
I would also ask the favor of looking up Stephen Knowlton , private, May 8-1775 to December 18-1775. under Capt. Samuel Wylly's Co. from Chatham, Connecticut; the 2nd Co. 2nd Regiment Col. Joseph Spencer of East Haddam Connecticut. Said Stephen Knowlton served during siege of Boston. Supposed to have been born about 1830.
I would like to know dates of birth , and death - if recorded - or any record pertaining to his age, amount of pension, etc.
I am very anxious to get the dates required of the two named persons in order to complete a genealogical record and trust you will have a careful and thorough examination of records made. If any expense is attached, please send me the bill. Trusting I may hear from you at any early date. I am
Yours Respectfully, Miss Alice Robbins.
