Sir:
I have to advise you, that from the papers in the pension claim, W. 3317, it appears that John Thompson enlisted in May 1777, served three years as a private in Captains Nathan Stoddard and Samuel Sanford's Companies in Colonels Chandler and Sherman's Connecticut Regiment and was in the battles of Germantown and Monmouth.
He was allowed pension on his application executed May 2, 1818, while living at New Paltz, Ulster County, New York, aged fifty-eight years, his son John was then eleven years old. The soldier died October 9, 1838, at New Paltz.
He married January 18 1780, at Woodbury, Connecticut, Mabel, maiden name not stated. She was a resident of that place. She was allowed pension on her application executed November 2, 1841, while living in Greenfield Township, Erie County, Pennsylvania, aged seventy-nine years. She died in North East Township, said county, June 2, 1844, at the house of her son-in-law Nehemiah L Smith.
I could not say she was Mabel because that John's Mary have been married

The following children survived her:
Mabel, who married Elijah Harrington, Lucy, " " Lockwood, Mary, " " John Crain, Sally, " " William Vannatta, Elizabeth, " " Nehemiah L. Smith. Jared.
Respectfully,
