Dear Sir, -
Will you be kind enough to give me the following informa- tion if possible?
I am anxious to know the place of residence of Joseph Sar- gent during the Revolutionary War, & the name of the place where he died ? Joseph Sargent was born in Amesbury, Mass. August 20, 1751.  M.H. Sewall died Jan 5, 1841. (Where?) married

August 12, 1973 Judith Harvey at Amesbury, Mass. She was the daughter of David Harvey born Amesbury Mass. April 24, 1926, died July 27, 1915. Did he serve in the War? The above data was secured from the Librarian of the New Hampshire Historical Society, Concord, New Hampshire. The Registrar General of the N.S.D.A. desires the answer to the first question, place of residence during the War, & where Joseph Sargent died before accept- ing the lineage papers of his descendant. also would like

to know whether Jonathan Bartlett Senior served in the Revolution. He was born in Plymouth, Mass. 1753, and 1787 Eastport Maine? married 1777 Lydia Ellis. Did he serve or did his father Joseph Bartlett born in Plymouth, Mass 1709? I forgot to mention that Joseph Sargent served from New Hampshire.
I wonder if G. M. Saltzgaber is the one Mr. Moore thinks introduced me to you when we were in the same auto going from the Gibson Hotel down to the Island Ferry steamer, several months birthday.

when President Harding was here. Shall greatly appreciate it if you can give me the desired information. I am with many thanks
Yours sincerely Grace Marie Ghearr.
