Sir.
The Pennsylvania Pettigrew is probably the one I want, what was his full name and when and where did his wife die? My inquiry was based upon family tradition and the data may have been incorrect. The Pettigrew for whom I am seeking lived in Pennsylvania, but I was told that he had served in a Connecticut Regt. His name was given to me as James, but that also, was largely supposition. I have heard my grandmother say that her grandmother's name was Judith Pettigrew and she drew a pension as the widow of a Revolutionary soldier. My grand- mother, now dead, was born in Philadelphia, Pa. and her family came from that State.
An early reply will be appreciated.

In answer to your request relative to James Pettigrew, supposed to have been a Captain in a Connecticut regiment during the Revolutionary war, and that his widow Judith is said to have been a pensioner, you are advised that there is no record of such officer in the service of that state but there was a pension allowed to a widow Judith for the service of her husband in Pen ne regiment who died in 1808 and was a Lieut.
The data furnished is hardly sufficient to identify the pensioner with the one of your enquiry, which doubt may be removed by additional data -
