BA-J/ILL Edmund Patee W. 5480 aw
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Edmund Patee, pension claim, W. 5480.
The data which follow were obtained from the papers on file in that claim for pension, based upon service of Edmund Patee in the Revolutionary War.
Edmund Patee was born July 22, 1764 in Salem, New Hampshire; the names of his parents were not given.
Edmund Patee enlisted in Massachusetts (the place of his residence not given), in the fall of 1779, served as fifer in Captains Asa Coburn's and Thorp's companies, Colonel John Brooks' 7 th Massachusetts regiment and was discharged at Newburgh, New York, at the close of the war in 1783; he stated that his service amounted in all to three years, nine months and fifteen days.
He was allowed pension on account of his service in the Revolutionary War on his application executed April 6, 1818. He resided then in Owasco, Cayuga County, New York. Edmund Patee moved from Cayuga County, New York, to Delaware County, Ohio, where he resided in November 1820. He died September 24, 1824 in Westfield Township, Delaware County, Ohio.
Edmund Patee married November 9, 1787, "in Granville", the state not named, Elizabeth Turner, who was born April 17, 1766 in Killingly, Connecticut. The names of her parents were not given.
Elizabeth Patee, this soldier's widow, was allowed pension

on her application executed March 26, 1839. She was then a resident of Westfield, Delaware County, Ohio.
In October 1820, four children lived at home with Edmund Patee, the soldier, and his wife, Elizabeth, namely-Henry, aged eighteen years, Alvah, aged sixteen, Lester, aged thirteen years, and Harriet, aged ten years. In April 1821, this soldier had four grandchildren added to his family for support, because of death of their parents; he did not give their names, nor designate the names of their parents.
In 1839, when Elizabeth Patee made application for pension, John Patee and Henry Patee made affidavits in Westfield, Delaware County, Ohio, regarding a family record which said Henry had "transcribed" from a very old Bible record which had been in the possession of this soldier, Edmund Patee.

Sir My name was placed on the Pension list under the law of March 1818. And my application was renewed under the late law respecting the pensions. - In answer to my last application I rec d a line from your office mentioning that as I requested my pension to be paid in this state instead of the State of New York where I formerly rec d it, and from whence I have removed, that a formal transfer was necessary.
A blank transfer was sent on to me which I signed and forwarded back to your office.
I have not heard from your office since.
I feel anxious to know the result of my last application and if I have am to continue on the pension list. I wish as soon as possible to be able to obtain what may be coming to me.
I should write a few weeks longer before writing in hopes of hearing from your office, but my family is in need of assistance. And it has been increased since I forwarded my last application by four of my grand children who have been thrown on my hands by the death of their parents. My family large as it is depends wholly for support upon my own labor and my pension. -

I would like the information contained in the pension application of EDMUND PATEE , pensioned 1818 from Delaware Co., Ohio, then aged 54. He died 24 Sep., 1824, and his widow later applied for and received a pension. I have the following memorandum in regard to her pension papers from your Office:-
Elizabeth Patee, No. 5378, Widow File, 5480.
I understand from a descendant that there are pages (or else entries) from EDMUND PATEE's BIBLE in the file with his pension papers. He has sent me one item taken from the Bible, as follows:- "Edmund Patee was married in Granville, Nov. 9, 1787, to Elizabeth Turner!" I wish specially to know whether it is stated if it was Granville, N.Y. or Granville, Vt. As this pertains to an important decision, I would appreciate it if you could let me know as to this one point at once; the rest of the report could await your convenience.
Yours very truly,
(Miss)
