Discharge by Washington in favor of Isaac Lucas dated 13 June 1783. —

To the Secy of the Treasury
Washington Pa. July 25. 1828
Sir Enclosed are the papers of Isaac Lucas an applicant for the benefit of the "act for the relief of certain surviving officers and soldiers of the army of the Revolution" - They have been drawn up by a country justice of the peace, and are of course, not in exact conformity with the forms prescribed - The applicant is somewhat infirm and not well able to sustain the fatigue of frequent journeys to town; otherwise I should have had the papers drawn out correctly - As it is, perhaps the informality will not prove so great as to cause the rejection of the claim - Should the claim be allowed you will please transmit to this place whatever amount of pay he may be entitled to receive - I have the honour to be Sir yr. most obedt. humble Servt.

Dept Interior,
In the Iowa State Historical Bld., I found a brief statement of the enlistments of my ancestor Isaac Lucas. There was no statement of his birth, death or marriage.
The family kept these records, however, but this is not likely to correspond with what might be on some record I have not been able to find.
My family had it that he was at Bunker Hill, though not yet enlisted. It seemed that he was a cook and was in Drews co, 2nd mass. Reg afterwards commanded by Judah Alden and John Bailey. There was a number of volunteers to be buried at W. Alexander Pa. I think.
I wish to know what may be essential to have my son connect his little military career with his great ancestor 5-generations back. Son is already serving his 7th year, at present in 19th Division.
Sincerely Eva (Erskine) Burnett,
