BA-J/ILL On Enos Blakesley
Mrs. H. M. Carr
Proctor, Minnesota.
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to Enos Blakeslee, born about 1755 in Connecticut, and died after 1814, in Oneida County, New York.
There is no claim for pension or bounty land on file which has been made to the United States based upon service in the Revolutionary War of the Enos Blakeslee described by you, under any spelling of that surname. The record of only one soldier with that name has been found; his record is given herein as it may aid you in your research.
Enos Blacksley, Blaksley or Blakeley of North Haven, Connecticut, served as private in the 4 th Connecticut regiment, commanded by Colonel Webb, and on March 20, 1776, near Providence, was wounded in his back by the bayonet of a fellow soldier, who, while behind him, fell, having his bayonet fixed. He enlisted June 5, 1777, for the war, served as private in Colonel E. Huntington's regiment, was in the hospital in 1782, being a cripple, and operated upon for "the stone" and was discharged in 1783, from hospital.
On account of disability resulting from infirmities described above, he was allowed pension from March 4, 1792, rate $60 per annum, under the Act of April 20, 1796. He died July 10, 1812.
There are no further data relative to the service of the soldier, and none whatever pertaining to his family because of the destruction of papers when the War Office was burned in 1800.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER, Executive Assistant to the Administrator.

Rev. War Section.
