Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to soldiers with name Nathan Bennett, one whose pension file number you cite as 45258, the other born March 4, 1725, and Amos Bennett whose pension file number you cite as 2908. It is noted that the Nathan Bennett, whose record you seek, was killed in the battle of Saratoga, or in the battle of Bennington.
There is no claim for pension on file based upon service of a Nathan Bennett who was born in 1725, or of one who was killed during the Revolutionary War, or of an Amos Bennett whose widow's pension file number is 2908.
Nathan Bennet, S. 45258, was alive after the Revolutionary War. The given name of his wife is shown as Abigail, her maiden name not stated.

Sir,
The letter of J. S. Edwards dated Dec. 29. 1820. and post marked Jan. 4. 1821. in relation to Nathan Bennetts claim for a revolutionary pension directed to my care came to hand twelve days after its date. In it Mr. Edwards states that "If Col. Bradley who is still living in Connecticut will certify that his Regiment of Years men was enlisted to serve beyond Dec. 1776 Mr. Bennetts claim to a pension will be admitted." But we had the misfortune to learn that Colonel Bradley died Jan. 4. 1821. the same day Mr. Edwards letter left Washington. Mr. Bennett has procured of that fact the best evidence in his power, which I now enclose - His sufferings in the war were very great, having been exposed to unusual hardships & after his Captivity having been confined for months in the Jersey prison Ship, where his constitution was broken & his sufferings had nearly terminated with his life
Very respectfully
your Obedient Servant
