Sir:
In response to your letter dated the 27 th and received the 30 th ultimo, you are furnished the military history of Thomas Page Wid. File G,846, and Amos Page Surv. File 25,454 Rev. War
The Revolutionary War records fail to show that a pension claim was ever filed for Amos Page of Captain Elijah Dewey's company, and if the Amos Page herewith is not the soldier whose record you desire, a further search will be made for you upon receipt of some of the following data: Soldier's residence at enlistment and after discharge, approximate dates of his birth and death, given name and residence of his widow.
It is possible that the town records of Haverill, Mass. afford some information in regard to the parents and birth of Thomas Page.
Very respectfully,
Commissioner.

Dear Sir:-
I have a copy of a document written by one, David Page, who was born at Haverhill, Mass. May 1st, 1770. In this document he says that his older brother, Amos Page, "settled at Bennington, Vermont, near Albany, and was in the dreadful battle at that place in the American Revolutionary War, and he afterwards removed to Cambridge in the same state."
The records of the War Department show that one, Amos Page, served in that war as a private in Stoddard's Company, 1st Massachusetts Regiment, commanded by Colonel Jo. Vose. He enlisted July 17, 1779, to serve nine months. They advise me that possibly you can give me additional information in regard to this man, and if so, I will appreciate it very much, as it is important that I obtain as much data as possible concerning him. He was probably born at Haverhill, Mass., as his father, also named Amos Page, was born and died there.
Trusting that you will be able to supply the desired information, I beg to remain,
Yours very respectfully,
Eugene A. Davis
