I am sorry to be instrumental in again calling your attention to this subject, as you have had much trouble with it, but as the papers have been committed to my charge I can not refuse my aid, and it would give me great pleasure could I be instrumental in furthering his claim, if it is just, as (from my acquaintance with him, and those who are assisting him) I have been led to the belief that it is.

Gentlemen -
Will you kindly inform me if a pension was ever paid (through Vermont records) to John B. Joyall (Jeane Baptista) for services during the War of the Revolution 1776? If so, please give length of service, date of enlistment and regiment. (New York Continentals?)
(A statement published of Franklin County, Vermont (Pensions) (514 - p 106) gives the following -)
John B. Joyall - rank - private annual allowance - $80.00 sums received - $240.00 Description of service - N. York Cont'l line. When placed on pension roll - June 12, 1834 Commencement of pension - March 4, 1831 Age - 84

He may have been with the Green Mtah Boys under Ethan Allan and Col. Benedict Arnold for he lived in upper Vermont and was at Ticonderoga where he was taken prisoner. He was of French descent and known as Jean Baptista ———. He was a while prisoner sent to N. York City. A Jean Baptista was a prisoner on the English prison ship "Jersey."
The above are traditions of his family. I am anxious for data of his regiment &c.
Thanking you for your courtesy in this matter, I am,
(Miss) Susan G. Macomber
