Sir
Enclosed I send an application for a pension under the late law of Congress for that purpose - The soldier John Rhoads is unable to produce his discharge, he can make no other proof of it, than by his affidavit, that he cannot tell where it is, but thinks that shortly after the Revolutionary war, he delivered it to the person to whom he gave a deed for forty lands in the State of New York, to which he was entitled as a soldier. This affidavit will be sent if required. -

Yours &c.

Gentlemen:- John Rhoads or Rhodes of Marlborough Town, Ulster Co., N. Y. served in the Revolution in the 5 th Reg. of the line under Col. Leekis Dubois. probably in Capt. Arthur Smith's company. He died 1829 in Ulster Co. Is there any record of a pension? Enclose stamp.

My dear Sir:-
I am seeking proof that the John Rhoads or Rhodes of Marlborough Twp., Ulster Co., N.Y. who died there in 1828 is the same John Rhoads or Rhodes who served in the Revolution from that Township. I have a copy of his Will dated Oct.

1826 - admitted to probate at Kingston Dec. 1828. He seems to have owned considerable land. Is there any record of land granted him for Revolutionary services? If so, does it state in what part of the Twp. the grant lies? Did he receive a pension? In the Will his wife's name is Sarah. Either on account of infirmity or lack of educa- -tion he made his mark in signing the Will.
I think is a fee for this work please notify. I enclose stamp.
Yours Truly.
