Dear Sir:-
Have you any record in your Department, of the service of my ancestor, Elijah Hunt, in the Revolutionary War? He was born in Pennsylvania in 1751 and I believe enlisted in the army in that State. He was captured by the Indians while out with a scouting party and was held by them until the close of the War, when he was allowed to return to his home. He afterward moved to Carlton, Orleans County, New York, where he died in 1830. I will be very grateful for any information you can give me concerning him.
Yours very truly,
Josephine Hunt -
