Dear Sir,-
I would like to get the War Record of my Great, Great Grandfather who served seven years in the Revolutionary War so that I might join the D. A. R. only 1
The name of my ancestor is Ozias Perry, born in New England, June 6th 1757 and died May 10th 1831 at Dresserville, N. Y. The pension he received was I believe eight dollars per month. There were four brothers in that family who served throughout the war.
The wife of Ozias Perry was Esther Marvin who died Sept. 26th 1834 and buried at Dresserville. N. Y.
I would be pleased to have the record of my ancestor. I am a widow of a veteran of the late war and realize that the records in early times were not perhaps as complete as at the present time.
Thanking you sincerely I am,
Respectfully,
Edith Perry-Birney
