Mr. W. Warner Com. of Pensions Washington D.C.
Dear Sir,
Can you give me the military history of Thaddeus Warner a soldier of the Revolutionary War. He served in Capt. Joel Meads Co. Col. Henry Lubington's Reg- iment of Dutchess Co. N.Y. State Militia. He also served in Capt. David Waterbury's Co same Regiment.
Your statement of service of Isaac Bullard in the Revolutionary War shows application for pension was made Sept 10, 1862 at Bridgewater Township. Susquehanna Co. Pa.
I have letters in my possession written by him and his son, which shows that an application for Pension was made in 1819 at Perry, Wyoming Co. N.Y. and in 1821 he was drawing a pension of $4.00 per month.
He had children living near Perry N.Y. and in Susque- hanna Co. Pa. so in all probability he is the party named in your statement.
His name is on the Mass. roll in Adj. General's Office in state of Vermont. Can the records explain this?
Yours truly A. W. Hinman
