MARY LOVERING HOLMAN GENEALOGIST 4 PARK VALE AVENUE ALLSTON, MASS.
Bureau of Pensions:
I find that quite a number of Lorings, spelt Loveren, Lorerell, Loring etc, drew pensions after the Revolutionary War. I will be very grateful for a copy of such data as you have in regard to them. The family is so small that I don't believe there are more than a dozen in all. Two I am especially interested in, Simeon S. 21868 Loring who was of N. H. but obtained Pension in Vermont & Samuel S. 40952 who was granted a

in Vermont Pension in 1818, and it was discontinued in 1820 -
I am engaged in writing a genealogy of this family and, of course, must obtain these before printing it.
Very sincerely yours,
Mary Averning Hobman
4 of July 1914.
This seems rather an appro- priate day for Revolutionary do- ings.
