Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to Elisha and Samuel Barrows, soldiers of the Revolutionary War.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims for pension and bounty land which have been made to the United States, based upon service in that war.
A search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the Revolutionary War service of any Elisha Barrows. As a possible means of securing data relative to the military record of this soldier, it is suggested that you apply to The Adjutant General, War Department, Washington, D. C.
The Revolutionary War record of Samuel Barrows which follows was obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, W. 21631, based upon his service in that war. This is the record of the only Samuel Barrows that is found on file in the Revolutionary War records of this office.
The date and place of birth of this soldier are not given, nor are the names of his parents shown.
Samuel Barrows enlisted May 2, 1781, served as a private in Captain Emerson's Company, Colonel Tupper's 10th Massachusetts Regiment, and in Captain

Mills' Company, Colonels Fernald's and Knapp's Massachusetts Regiments, and was discharged sometime in January, 1784.
The soldier, Samuel Barrows, was allowed pension on his application executed April 11, 1818, at which time he was living in Houndsfield, Jefferson County, New York, then aged about fifty-four years. He died March 14, 1842 in Russell, St. Lawrence County, New York.
Samuel Barrows married February 16, 1791 in Woodstock, Vermont, Azabuh Ransom. She was allowed pension on her application executed October 2, 1843, then residing in Houndsfield, New York, aged seventy years, July 2, 1843. The place of her birth and names of parents are not given.
Reference was made in 1820 to a son, Azem or Asem, aged thirteen years, and to a daughter, Sarah Ann, aged six years.
The widow's sister, Keturah Ransom, married, September 20, 1749 in Woodstock, Vermont, Hezekiah Field. The said Hezekiah Field in 1843 was sixty-nine years of age and a "minister of the Gospel" of the Methodist Church; he and his wife, Keturah, were living in 1843 in Houndsfield, New York.
If you desire information in regard to the last payment of pension, name and address of person paid, and possibly the date of death of the pensioner, Azabuh Barrows, you should apply to The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, Washington, D. C., and cite the following:
Azabuh Barrows, widow of Samuel Barrows Certificate # 6026 Issued August 22, 1844 Rate $80.00 per annum To commence March 3, 1843 Act of March 3, 1843 New York Agency.

Commissioner of Pensions,
Dear Sir, —
Could I ascertain from your office the date of the death of Samuel Barrows, Jr.? He was a Revolutionary pensioner, — and I think still drew his pension in 1840; — he drew

it at that date I believe in Watertown Jefferson Co., N.Y.; his home however was in Russell township St. Lawrence Co., (near Water- town.) His widow I believe drew the pension after his death - Azubah Ransom Barrons. Could you tell me if the pension was granted to Samuel Barrons for any special

service in Rhode Island.
Enlisted May 4 th 1887 in Col. Benjamin Guppers 10 th regiment, Middleborough.
If there be any fee con- nected with looking up these data I will forward it upon noti- fication of the same. (Mrs.)

In the case of Mrs. Abigail Barrows widow of Samuel Barrows, whose application for a pension under the Act of July 7. 1838 was forwarded to your office under date of October 23 rd 1843 & no action had thereon until the 26 th April 1844 & then objected to on the ground that the date of the marriage should be strengthened by the deposition of other persons than claimants com- panying. I now forward to you the additional proof which I might have sent before had I anticipated any such objection which I did not because none could a marriage be more clearly established. I suppose the Law of April 30. 1844, which was made with a view to cut off all such applications as Mrs. Barrows, will exclude her from any pension prior to 4 th March 1843. I will therefore be much obliged for a certificate to that effect. Yr Ob d Serv t Adriel Ely
