After the Revolution he lived in Milford, Connecticut for about seventeen years then moved to the Royal Grant, Salisbury, Montgomery County, New York and lived there ten years, when he moved to Ogdensburg, St. Lawrence County, New York.

According to our family book of genealogy "Isaac was born in the year 1759 and died in 1852 at the age of 93 years." It quotes that "he was a soldier in the Revolutionary war and received a pension for his service, removed after the war to the Royal Grant about 1796 and in 1810 to Ogdensburg."

Dear Sir:-
As my daughter is desirous of becoming a D. Q. R. I am very anxious to obtain information relative to her great great grandfather Isaac Plumb, who ac- cording to our book on the

Plumb genealogy was "born in Milford Conn. in year 1759 married to Sylvia Ward in 1785 and died in 1852; was a soldier in the Revolutionary War and received a pension for his service, removed after the war and after marriage to the Royal Grant (in year about 1796) then in 1810 to Ogdensburg N.Y."
Our family does not seem to know in what capacity he served or what was his

rank, and this, with the affirmation that he really rec- eived a pension is what we would so much like to know.
The older members of our family have all died and as I was advised to write to you I took this liberty.
Trusting it will not be too much trouble and hoping for an early reply.
Sincerely
Shirley M. Plumb
