Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Thurston Kinyon, of Athol, New York.
The data which follow were obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, S. 13598, based upon service of Thurston Kinyon in that war.
Thurston Kinyon was born June 8, 1755 in Richmond, Washington County, Rhode Island; the names of his parents were not given. He resided in Richmond during the early years of the Revolutionary War.
He entered service in August 1774, served a few days as private in Captain Simeon Clark's Rhode Island company at Point Judith, and in September of that same year served a tour of one month under that same officer.
Thurston Kinyon enlisted in March 1775, and served on tours as private in the Rhode Island troops, amounting in all to nearly sixteen months, until sometime in March 1779, under Captains Simeon Clark, Richard Bailey, George Wilcox and others, and Colonel Charles Dyer. During his service, he was in the engagement in August 1778 in General Sullivan's Expedition.
The soldier moved from Richmond in July 1778, to Exeter in the same county, and continued to reside there until five or six years after the Revolutionary War; he moved then to Greenwich, Washington County, New York, where he resided for nine or ten years, after which he moved to Athol, Warren County, New York.

Thurston Kinyon was allowed pension on account of his service in the Revolutionary War on his application executed September 18, 1832, at which time he resided in Athol, New York. His name was borne on the pension roll Thurston Kenyon. He made no reference to wife or children.
On September 18, 1832, David Kinyon, the soldier's brother, stated that he lived in Richmond when Thurston Kinyon served in the Revolutionary War. This brother, David Kinyon died February 4, 1833.
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, name of person paid and, possibly, the date of death of this pensioner, you should apply to The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, this city, and furnish the following data:
