And the said Phineas Cadwell is the ancestor who assisted in establishing American Independence, serving under General Washington, enlisting from New Hartford Conn. in 1775 and serving most of the time until the close of the war. He applied for a pension Apr. 1 1818 and received 8 dollars per month for the rest of his life. He was blind for over thirty years, until his death. He was with Washington that Christmas night (Dec. 25 1776) when he crossed the Delaware in a blinding snowstorm, and marched nine miles to Trenton to surprise and capture 1000 Hessian soldiers and take them as prisoners of war.
I've heard my mother tell how he told stories over and over of his experiences during the war, while she and father were taking care of him, while he lived at Union Grove Wis. where he is buried. His son Ebenezer Smith cared for him after father and mother moved from there in 1854.

was still living and in his 99th year. He could remember clear back or had information from the time of the landing of the pilgrims in 1620 of our ancestors, that came to this country about that time.
As you have been in the Pension Office for so long I thought you might know how to proceed.
I suppose I need to send to the National Headquarters of the D. A. R. for papers to fill out and have some one vouch for me, and I would know then what the fee would be.
I hope this will not make you

unnecessary trouble, and I know I shall appreciate it if I can get information to enable me to be a D. G. R. I could get more statistics if necessary.

Will you be kind enough to send me — upon your official letter-head — (in a sentence or two) the service upon which Corp'l Phineas Cadwell based his claim to a pension for Revolutionary War service?
The pension was granted him in January 1818 and was continued until his death in February 1857.

He enlisted from New Hartford, Sitchfield Co., Connecticut in 1775 or 1776.
If you find the record to confirm this I desire to have your statement that Corp'l Phineas Cadwell draw a pension from the U. S. Gov't. from date to Feb. 1857 for service in the Revolutionary War.
The Dept. of Pensions sent me such a letter about 10 yrs. ago but I allowed a relative to take it and it has been lost.

I am desirous of obtaining the war record of my Great Grand Father. I am informed that it can be had in your Department & I shall be grateful for same. His name was Phineas Caldwell. Born 28-Feb-1757- died 11-Feb-1857. His residence with his father (Asahel Caldwell) was New Hartford, Conn. He enlisted in the continental army at 18 years of age served most of the time to the close of the war. He died in Wisconsin when nearly one hundred years of age. His body lies buried in Racine Co.

The Pension Bureau, Washington, D.C. —
I wish to ascertain whether there is on the old pension roll, the name of Phineas Cadwall , a Revolutionary soldier . He drew a pension of $8. 00 per month from about Jan. 1818 to Feb. 1857 as nearly as I can find. At the time of his application for pension he lived in New York, but I cannot give you the name of the post office. After 1849 he lived in Wisconsin.
This Phineas Cadwall was my great-great-grandfather, and I am looking up the facts that I may establish my claim to membership in the Society of the Daughters of the Revolution.
Now, I would like to secure a copy of the application, or of that part which reflects the service rendered by him in the Revolutionary War, or any particulars that will

be given.
I know of no other way to secure this except through the Pension Bureau. Do write directly to you. If you can assist me, I shall be under great obligation.

Oct. 7 1845  Sep. 1. 1891    { said Phineas Cadwell was the son of { Ebenezer Smith Cadwell and { Sally Clark  May 31, 1824  "  "    born Oct. 7 1787 " at New Hartford Conn.

And the said Phineas Cadwell is the ancestor who assisted in establishing American Independence, serving under General Washington, enlisting from New Hartford Conn. in 1775 and serving most of the time until the close of the war. He applied for a pension Apr. 1 1818 and received 8 dollars per month for the rest of his life. He was blind for over thirty years, until his death. He was with Washington that Christmas night (Dec. 25 1776) when he crossed the Delaware in a blinding snowstorm, and marched nine miles to Trenton to surprise and capture 1000 Hessian soldiers and take them as prisoners of war.
I've heard my mother tell how he told stories over and over of his experiences during the war, while she and father were taking care of him, while he lived at Union Grove Wis. where he is buried. His son Ebenezer Smith cared for him after father and mother moved from there in 1854.

As you have been in the Pension Office for so long I thought you might know how to proceed.

Will you be kind enough to send me — upon your official letter-head — (in a sentence or two) the service upon which Corp'l Phineas Cadwell based his claim to a pension for Revolutionary War service?
The pension was granted him in January 1818 and was continued until his death in February 1857.

He enlisted from New Hartford, Sitchfield Co., Connecticut in 1775 or 1776.
If you find the record to confirm this I desire to have your statement that Corp'l Phineas Cadwell draw a pension from the U. S. Govt. from date to Feb. 1857 for service in the Revolutionary War.
The Dept. of Pensions sent me such a letter about 10 yrs. ago but I allowed a relative to take it and it has been lost.
I am sorry to apply again but it will be of value to me just now.
With sincere appreciation of your courtesy in the matter, I am

To the Hon Commissioner of Pensions. Washington, D.C.
My dear Sir:
I am desirous of obtaining the war record of my Great Grand Father. I am informed that it can be had in your Department & I shall be grateful for same. His name was Phineas Caldwell. born 28-Feb-1757- died 11-Feb-1857. His residence with his father (Asahel Caldwell) was New Hartford, Conn. He enlisted in the Continental Army at 18 years of age served most of the time to the close of the war. He died in Wisconsin when nearly one hundred years of age. His body lies buried in Racine Co. Wis.
These are the facts so far as known to me. I shall be very glad if

Port Washington Wis., May 11-1897
The Pension Bureau, Washington, D.C. —
I wish to ascertain whether there is on the old pension roll, the name of Phineas Cadwall , a Revolutionary soldier . He drew a pension of $8. 00 per month from about Jan. 1818 to Feb. 1857 as nearly as I can find. At the time of his application for pension he lived in New York, but I cannot give you the name of the post-office. After 1849 he lived in Wisconsin.
This Phineas Cadwall was my great-great-grandfather, and I am looking up these facts that I may establish my claim to membership in the Society of the Daughters of the Revolution.
Now, I would like to secure a copy of the application, or of that part which sets forth the service rendered by him in the Revolution with dates on any particulars that may

be given.
I know of no other way to secure this, except through the Pension Bureau. Do write directly to you. If you can assist me, I shall be under great obligation.
