Viola P. Roberts 7956 Aberdeen Street Chicago, Illinois
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your request for information relative to the Revolutionary War soldier, Samuel Pangburn, who married Elizabeth.
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, S.43778, based on the military service of Samuel Pangburn.
The date and place of his birth and the names of his parents are not shown.
He enlisted in 1776, place not stated, served about one year as private in Captain Edmonston's company in Colonel Goose Van Schaick's New York regiment. In December, 1776, he enlisted at Saratoga barracks in New York, as private in Captain Robert Walker's company in Colonel John Lamb's Artillery Regiment, was in the battles of Fort Stanwix and Jamestown and in the siege of Yorktown and was discharged at West Point at the close of the Revolution.
He was allowed pension on his application executed May 6, 1818, at which time he was living in Westport, Essex County, New York, and was sixty-one years of age.
In 1820 he was living in Westport at which time he stated that his wife, Elizabeth, was fifty-three years of age, and he referred to the following as members of his family: a boy, Ezekiel, aged about fourteen years, and a boy, Almeron, aged eleven years. The date of birth of Elizabeth (never referred to as Lydia) is not shown nor is her maiden name given.
The papers in this claim contain no further data relative to the family of Samuel Pangburn and the records of this office fail to show that a claim for pension was made by anyone as the widow of this soldier.
to be used in letter to Viola P. Roberts only.

In order to obtain the date of termination of pension of Samuel Pangburn, the name and address of the person to whom it was paid and possibly the date of death of the soldier, it is suggested that you address The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, Washington, D.C., giving the following data: Samuel Pangburn, Certificate 12638, issued July 23, 1819, rate $8 per month, commenced May 6, 1818, Act of March 18, 1818, New York Agency.
