Dear Planché:-
In re. Hollis Hutchins. Revolutionary War Pension Record.
If available, please obtain the record from the Bureau of Pensions of the record of the soldier outlined above.
He seems to have been pensioned about 1819 for services in the Revolutionary War, as a soldier with Maine or Massachusetts troops; at the time of pensioning, he was a resident of Morgan or Guernsey Counties, Ohio, that part which is now included in Noble County, Ohio. I want to get my record on him authentic.
Possibly you can enlist the services of Congressman Secrest in the matter with the Pension Bureau.
Let me have your findings at your earliest convenience.
With best wishes,
