Honorable Sir,
I am desirous of joining the "Sons of the American Revolution" and wish to establish the military Record of my Grandfather, David Taylor, who served as a Soldier in the "Revolutionary War". I think he enlisted from the Town of Montgomery, Orange Co. N.Y. (at least he lived there after the War). I do not know if he was a Private or an officer, (and all his children are dead hence I have no way of ascertaining this fact except through the Official Dept. at Washington)

his wives name (my Grandmother) was Elizabeth. and I am under the im- pression that she made application for a Pension as his widow, but whether she ever got it or no, I cannot say. What I want to do as I said before is to establish the fact officially that he did serve his country as a soldier during the "Revolutionary War" the rank he held, the term of service. and his honorable discharge.
By furnishing me with the above data you will confer a lasting favor on
Yours Truly,

Hon. H. Clay Evans. Commissioner of Pensions Washington. D.C. Honorable Sir.
I am an applicant for membership in the "Pennsylvania Society of the Sons of the American Revolution" and the Society requires of me before they will accept of me in membership that I officially establish the fact that I am a direct lineal descendant from Revolutionary Ancestry. Therefore this letter is written, to ask you for an "official Department Document or letter" to establish the fact that my Grandmother Elizabeth Taylor of Montgomery, Orange County New York. as Widow of David Taylor (my Grandfather) did receive a Pension

2 for actual services rendered the Government by her husband.
I would like the date the Pension was granted and for how long a period of time she continued to said Pension, and the annual amount she received. Also can your Department furnish the information as to the Reg't and Company, and the name of the Colonel and Captain. His service was in the New York State Troops. Thanking you in advance for the courtesy of a reply covering the above or any information you may have of record.
And Amv.
Yours truly C. M. R. Radeker.

My Dear Sir:
I am very anxious to join the D.A.R. Chapter of my home community. And wish to join through the line of my great grand- father David Taylor, who was a Revolutionary soldier. I do not know the name of his Company. But he enlisted from the town of Montgomery, Orange County, New York. I know he served over 7 years and 6 mos. His wife Elizabeth Taylor was a pensioner and rec'd pension at least one year after his death. This should in itself make

we eligible to membership. I will thank you very much if you will give me details of his service etc. Thanking you
Most Respectfully -

I this morning have received your letter under date of the 9 th inst in relation to the claim of Elizabeth Taylor Widow of David Taylor dec'd in which it is stated that there is no proof of the marriage of said claimant to David Taylor. I about three weeks since enclosed to you the affidavit of a Mrs Taylor the widow of the brother of the husband of the claimant proving the marriage. The original papers were sent to your department about two months ago. I presume the affidavit above referred to in your office but has not been placed with the other papers. Will you cause a search for said affidavit to be made as it will cause me much trouble to procure another as the witness resides more than two hundred miles from this place.

De Sir
A few days I received a letter from your Department stating that there was in your office not any proof of the marriage of Daniel Taylor to Elizabeth Taylor. I immediately answered your letter stating that I had forwarded a separate affidavit since the original papers had been made out proving the marriage of Elizabeth Taylor & her late husband Daniel Taylor which you would find done where among the papers in your Department received since about the middle of September last.
I find upon reflection that the name of Daniel in your letter has been written for David Taylor. As I have sent no claim to your office of Elizabeth Taylor widow of Daniel Taylor. Her husband name was David Taylor & her papers were made out stating her to be such. You may have been misled by my last letter & I therefore make this correction. I sent to you about three weeks since the affidavit of Elizabeth Taylor the widow of the brother of claimants husband proving the marriage of David Taylor & Elizabeth his widow. which has I presume been received at your office, but had not at the time of the Examination been placed on file with the other papers relating to the case of Elizabeth Taylor widow of David Taylor.
