Dear Madam:
You are advised that it appears from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W. 9378, that Levi Carr enlisted at Lenox, Massachusetts, in 1780, and served, length not stated, as a sergeant in Captain Zebulon King's company in Colonel Brooks' Massachusetts regiment. He enlisted in July, 1781, in Captain Luke Day's company in Colonel Brooks' Massachusetts regiment, and served until late in 1783.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 18, 1818, at which time he was fifty-six years of age and was living in Manlius, Onondaga County, New York.
In 1820 he referred to his wife, Ruth, aged fifty-five years, his children, Simon V., aged sixteen years, and Huldah, aged fourteen years, and to his grandsons, Henry Moyer, aged eight years and Caleb Colson, aged five years.
The soldier married May 29, 1842, in Fayetteville, Onondaga County, New York, Mrs. Betsey Holmes.
He died August 9 or 10, 1849, in Manlius, New York,
His widow, Betsey, was allowed pension on her application executed February 18, 1853, at which time she was seventy years of age and a resident of Woodstock, Madison County, New York.
In 1858 she was living in Brillion, Calumet County, Wisconsin, with Ira J. Holmes.

The above noted is the history of the only soldier named Levi Carr (searched under all spellings of the name) that is found in the Revolutionary War records of this bureau.

One of the witnesses in the old papers proves the ap t to have been in Surgence

San Lorenzo Co NY 9 th July 1834
Dear Sir,
I take the liberty of enclosing the Pension papers of Levi Carr which I hope may prove satisfactory. His Sergeant Warrant could not be obtained. He having delivered it twenty five years ago to a Mr Sloan for the purpose of obtaining the pay for back rations then due him during the Revolutionary War in the absence of which he has failed to find a man by the name of Shadburn Brooks who did duty in the same company with Mr Carr when he knew him to have done duty as a Sergeant in said company. Mr Brooks is well known in this country as a man of respectability & of the strictest truth and & veracity. - Mr Carr is one of our worthy old Patriots & his reputation when he is known is as fair as any other man's. I also enclose the papers of Abraham Willy who also makes application for a pension - I will merely state in respect to Mr Willy that I have known him intimately for more than 40 years & consider him one of our best Citizens. He never has as yet recd. any thing from our Government - An examination you will find that his papers contain a number of Affidavits of persons who knew him in time of the Revolution. I enclose his commission. Both Mr Carr & Mr Willy wish to avail themselves of the act of Congress passed 7 th June 1832
Mr Carr is now on the pension roll but wishes to have it his pay raised to that of a Sergeant - Mr Carr & Willy wish to draw their pensions at Utica. Very Respectfully Hon S. L. Edwards, Yours, E. S. Everts

That she is informed by her said agent, that he mailed a letter enclosing said Pension certificate at the city of Albany on the 2 d day of July last, directed to "Betsy Carr, care of Mr J. Hobbs Esq, Brillion, Calumet County Wisconsin."

To the Bureau of Pensions,
Can you give me the military record of Levi Carr who served in the Revolutionary war as a drummer boy, (or enlisted at the age of fourteen as a drummer boy), also his father Levi Carr who served in the war of 1812?
They are the father and grand- father of my mother Mrs. Emily Carr Snow who is now eighty-five years of age and living with me. I am her daughter, and we are

very anxious to obtain the record,
Her father was born in Manlius N.Y. but she thinks her grandfather was born in Mass., and later moved to Manlius where he died in 1849. He was a pensioner.
Hoping to hear from you at your earliest convenience I am
Very respectfully,
(Mrs H.F.) Martha E. Hutchins.
