Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Nathan Bullard, born in Medfield, Massachusetts, in 1754, served in the Revolution from that state, was pensioned in 1818, married Rebecca Fenton and died in 1836 in Monticello, Sullivan County, New York. You desire to know, also, whether or not it is shown that he had a grandson, James A. Bullard.
The record of Nathan Bullard follows as found in the papers on file in pension claim, R. 1421, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
The date and place of birth and names of the parents of Nathan Bullard are not given.
Nathan Bullard enlisted in Medfield, Massachusetts, in May, 1781, served as private in Captain James Tisdale's company, Colonel John Greaton's Massachusetts regiment, and was discharged in June, 1783.
The soldier was allowed pension on his application executed April 18, 1818, at which time he was aged sixty-three years and a resident of Montgomery, Orange County, New York. In 1820, he was living in Thompson, Sullivan County, New York. He died December 25, 1836, in Monticello, Sullivan County, New York.
Nathan Bullard married April 10, 1777, at Fort Montgomery, New York, Rebecca ____; the date and place of her birth and names of parents were not shown. In 1837, a witness stated that "Rebecca's maiden name may have been Fenton".

Dear Sir:
Will you please be so kind as to give me -- from your Revolutionary Pension Records -- any and all genealogical material which you may have concerning one NATHAN BULLARD , and his family.
✓ NATHAN BULLARD was born in Medfield, Massachusetts, in 1754, served in the Massachusetts Militia, removed to Orange County, N.Y., and died in Monticello, Sullivan County, New York, in 1836. He had a pension in 1818. He married Re- becca Fenton.
I am particularly interested to learn the names of his children, specially whether or not he had a son or grand- son, JAMES A. BULLARD . Wills and other publications and doc- uments at Monticello were burned in 1909, and I am therefore hoping for a good deal from your records.
I shall be most grateful for an early reply for which please accept my thanks as well as my continued appre- ciation of your past courtesies.
