Madam:
Replying to your request for information concerning certain soldiers of the Revolutionary war, you are advised as follows:
One Isaiah Carpenter made an application for pension on September 1 st , 1832, at which time he was sixty-seven years of age and residing at Vernon, N. Y., and his pension was allowed for three years' actual service as a private in the Connecticut troops, Revolutionary war; a part of the time he served under Capt. Gray and Col. Canfield. He enlisted at New Fairfield, Conn.
A very careful search has been made and from the data given the name of Judge Harrington has not been found upon the Revolutionary war pension records on file in this Bureau.
From the data given it would be impossible to identify a soldier bearing the name of ---- Dwinnell.
Very respectfully,
Acting Commissioner.

Dear Sir : -
I write in the interest of my Brother-in-Law, Rev S. B. Carpenter of this City. He is most anxious to obtain a copy of the original Revolutionary Pension Papers of his Great Grandfather, Isaiah Carpenter , the Certificate of whose service in the War for the independence of the Colonies, whereof we have a Copy, bore date May 14, 1818. I am advised by Mr Carpenter that his ancestor's application for Pension privileges was preferred about the same time. Mr Carpenter further tells me that his ancestor, above referred to, was a resident of Massachusetts during the Revolutionary War ; he removing to New York State after the close of the xx Struggle. I hope you will find it convenient to accommodate me in this matter, and to supply me with a Copy of specified Pension Papers, as the Document is desired purely for genealogical reasons, and for the purpose of securing a name which has been lost from my Brother-in-Law's Family record.
I have the honor to be
Yours respv & truly,
Chas Edgeworth Jones
