Gentlemen:
Will you kindly give me the war record of Frederick Curtis, of Hampton, Windham County, Connecticut? As I have it, he participated in two battles in the War of the Revolution - one at Monmouth, N.J. and one near Philadelphia. Is this right? And were there more?
Upon his return to Hampton he retired to his farm on which was a tavern, situated at the corner of the road running north and south through Howard Valley and the Hartford & Providence Turnpike, it being half way between the two cities. All stage coaches stopped there for change of horses and refreshment of passengers. He received a Revolutionary War pension and is buried at Westminster Cemetery, Canterbury, Connecticut. After his death his wife, who was Persis Brown, grand-daughter of a Baptist minister whose name was Moseley, received the pension.
Will you kindly give the information that I ask, and you will greatly oblige.
Yours very truly,
