Enclosed I send the application of Eunice Randall made some time ago but neglected to be sent. Please send the warrant or the notice to Sherman Peck Bridgewater.
I sent some time ago several applications for several bounty land warrants some of which were obtained but others I have never heard from except that they were received among which was one in favor of Philo Burs who had had a Forty acre warrant which he returned so as to have a 160 acre all together. Please inform me what has become of it and also Peter Sevel + Annis Camp

Philip B. Bradley of the Connec- ticut line; that at the time of the taking of Fort Washington in Nov r 1776, he well remem- bers to have heard, that Mrs d Sim d was then taken a prisoner, as he the Depo t was at that time a youth, belonging to the same neighbor- hood with Mrs d Sim d , to wit, in Greenwich in s d State, that on the release of the prison- ers, taken in s d Fort, which the Depo t thinks was sometime in the latter part of the Winter following their capture, Mrs d Sim d returned

to S d Greenwich in a low state of health, where the Dep t frequently saw & conver- sed with him respecting his imprisonment & sufferings on board a Prisonship near New York - That the Dep t soon after went into the Continental army for 3 years & is not personally acquainted with the ser- vices stated in the S d Fink's Declaration, in the Reg t commanded by Col.

Respt Sir;
Will you please help me to find data regarding my grandfather whose name was Timothy Castle Randall?
In the D.A.R. Lineage Book Vol. 30 I find a record of Lieut. Timothy Castle in the Revolutionary War as Lieutenant of Conn. Militia 1780.

P. S.
I would like to know if you have a record of Henry Savage of Orange County N. Y.? I think he lived at Walkill. C. G. P

He was born in Woodbury Conn.
Moved to Wilmington Ver. 1747. Died after 1806.
My grandfather married Julia Ann Chapin at Watertown N.Y. in 1829.
Perhaps a relative of Timothy Castle married a Randall?
Thanking you for any information you may give I am
Very Truly

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter of February 16, 1937, requesting information relative to Revolutionary War soldiers, Timothy Castle Randall, Henry Savage and Lieutenant Timothy Castle.
The Revolutionary War records of this office fail to afford any information in regard to a Henry Savage who enlisted from New York State or any soldiers named Timothy Castle Randall and Timothy Castle.
On January 18, 1835, you were sent the history of the only Timothy Randall that is found in the Revolutionary War records of this office.
Very truly yours
