Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of a Jacob Flanders whose widow was Rhoda Flanders, and who died at Chelsea, Vermont, May 21, 1840, also the record of Ananiah Bohonon who applied for pension in Orange County, Vermont, under the Act of March 18, 1818.
The Revolutionary War records of this office have been searched and no claim for pension or bounty land found based upon service in that war of a Jacob Flanders whose widow, Rhoda, received a pension. The record of Jacob Flanders (S. 38699) which was furnished you September 13, 1933, is that of the only soldier of that name who applied for pension while a resident of Chelsea, Vermont. In his claim for pension, the name of his wife was given as Anna in 1820, and no reference was made to another wife.
You are furnished herewith the record of Ananiah Bohonon .
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER Executive Assistant to the Administrator
