BA-J/ILL Eleazer Porter S. 44285
Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the record of Eleazer Porter who served from Connecticut, in 1775 or 1776.
The claim for pension has been found of only one Eleazer Porter, who served in the Revolutionary War. The data given herein are shown in the papers on file in that pension claim, S. 44285.
The date and place of birth, and the names of the parents of Eleazer Porter are not shown.
He enlisted in Hebron, Hartford County, Connecticut, April 23, 1776, and served three years as a private in Captain William Judd's company, Colonel Samuel Wylls' Connecticut regiment.
Eleazer Porter was allowed pension on his application executed April 21, 1819, at which time he resided in Hamilton, Madison County, New York. He was aged then sixty-six years.
In 1820, the soldier's wife, Susannah, who was born July 9, 1750, and his granddaughter, Elzina Carrier, were the only members of his family living at home. The maiden name of said Susannah and the date of her marriage to Eleazer Porter are not shown. This granddaughter's age was given then as seven years, but the names of her parents were not stated. In 1823, Nathaniel Beebe, the soldier's son-in-law, lived close enough to him to "build the fires"; the name of Nathaniel Beebe's wife is not shown.
In 1821, Roswell Porter and his wife, Nancy, lived on land adjoining that owned by Eleazer Porter in Hamilton, New York; no relationship between these two was stated.
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, name

of person paid, and, possibly, the date of death of this pensioner, you should apply to the Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Record Division, this city, and cite the following:
