Mr. Charles Nutt, 7 Monroe Avenue, Worcester, Mass.
Sir:-
In response to your undated letter received the second instant, you are advised that the only Jason Phipps found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau, served nine months in Captain Josiah Childs' company, Colonel Bradley's regiment,--- but he was born in 1758 at Thompson, Connecticut where he always resided,---from which it will appear that he is not identical with Jason Phipps who was born in 1760, at Dudley.
Very respectfully,
Commissioner.

Dear Sir:-
It has fallen to me to write a brief history of Lieut. Jason Phipps who helped build the huts at Valley Forge . Will you please help me with as many facts and references to published works as possible? I am told he was a pensioner for fifty years after the close of the Revolutionary War . The names of the towns in which he lived might aid me in searching town histories. He was probably the Connecticut soldier who enlisted as a private in Childe Co. May 29, discharged Jan. 9, '78; reenlisted with "appt. Jan'y 1, '78 2nd Lieut. Jason Phipps" the latter service probably in Col. Jahnern's reg't., Capt. Williams' co. Does pension record give wife's name?
My rights and others of my family are also pending this report.
Very truly yours,

Madam:
I have to advise you, that the Revolutionary War records of this bureau fail to afford any information in regard to a Jason Phipps, or Phips who served as a lieutenant.
You are herewith furnished the history of the only Jason Phipps found on said records under any spelling of that name.
From the papers in the pension claim, S. 14131, it appears that Jason Phipps was born at Thompson, Connecticut in 1758 and while living there he enlisted and served as a private in the Connecticut Troops as follows:
From August 1776, three months in Captain Samuel Chandler's Company, Colonel Ebenezer Williams' Regiment.
From March 1777, nine months in Captain Josiah Child's Company, Colonel Bradley's Regiment and was at the battle of Germantown and aided in building huts at Valley Forge.
During 1778 he served three months in Captain Aaron Whitman's Company, Colonel Chapman's Regiment.
He was allowed pension on his application executed July 18, 1832, while living at Thompson, Windham County, Connecticut and stated that he had always lived there. There is no data on file as to family and date of death is not on record.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT, Commissioner.
I do not think this is the one she wants but he did build huts at V.T. I did not think it worthwhile to tell her how to get death date
UW she could as there is a report of last payment policy, and claim & do not think
