Commissioner of Pensions:
Dear Sir:—
I am going to ask you to take some rather unusual trouble to look up a record for me. It is to prove Revolutionary service and also family genealogy. It is absolutely impassible to get the town records of these two parties.
One name is— Kent. enlisted in Stafford, Tolland Co., Conn. Probably Samuel, Joshua, Jabez or Benj. The right one had a son Enoch b. in Stafford in 1773. Cannot give the names of other children.
The other name is — Pangborn. enlisted in Cornwall, Litchfield Co., Conn. Had sons John, James, Levi.
This Revolutionary generation is missing unless you can supply it. The names

are not very common and I do not believe will cause any confusion.
The two sons were later residents of Pau Lou, H. and the Baugborn went to Tronderoga, N.Y.
Trusting we may be able to prove eligibility through the pension records -
I am Very Respectfully Mrs. B. M. Grant Jr.
