To the commissioner of Pensions. I am looking up the record of a Jeremiah Osborn (name also spelled Osbome and Osburn). I find in the History of N. Y. in the Revolution page 60-61 Jeremiah Osborn. I wrote to the War and Navy Dept. Washington and they gave me a record of a Jeremiah Osborn who served as a matross and sergt. in Capt. Robert Walker's Co. 2nd City Regt. of Continental troops which Regt. was from N. Y. and commanded by Col. John Lamb.
They suggested that I write to you as a possibility that you could add additional information. Can you tell me where this Jeremiah Osborn was born or where he lived or when he died these are the facts I lack. Does any record show he was

from East Hampton or had ever lived there was no his people from there, according to the records no other Jeremiah Ashmun in N. Y. State served during the war of 1776.
Any information in regard to Jeremiah Ashmun will be greatly appreciated
Thanking you in advance I remain
Yours respectfully (Mrs.) Ingrid Hurd.
