Sir:
In response to your letter dated the 29" and received the 31" ultimo, you are advised that in the papers in claim, Rej. File No. 1,766 , it is alleged that Enos Case was a resident of Orange County, New York, during the Revolutionary War, in which he served nine months as a Private under Captains Andrew Miller and Abraham Westfall, Colonels John Hathorn and Albert Pawling.
He died in Orange County, New York, May 1, 1837, leaving a widow, name not stated, who re-married and died prior to 1852.
On May 29, 1852, soldier's son, Hannibal Case, resident of Sullivan County, New York, aged fifty-two years, applied for pension in behalf of himself and Henry Case, Ann Kirk, Sarah Maria Little, and Phebe Everett, surviving children of the soldier.
This claim was rejected on the ground that claimant failed to furnish satisfactory proof of soldier's service, marriage, and death, and the death of his widow.
A careful search of the records of this Bureau fails to afford any information in regard to Leonard and Absalom Case.
Very respectfully,
L. Stillwell Acting Commissioner.

Dear Sirs,
I am the granddaughter of one Enos Base, who served as a soldier, in the Revolutionary war. He served under Col. Pamlings, and Col. Hethborn. (The papers are old & the writing not very plain, but these are the names as I make them out) Commanders of troops of Orange Co. N.Y.
He died May 1st. 1837. During the year of 1847, an effort was made by Mr. Brad for, a Pension Agent, of Ovid N.Y. to procure a pension

for Christian Case, widow of the said Enos Case. My Grandmother died before the pension was granted and I never knew of its being taken up by any of the heirs.
But it is not the pension I am after.
My Grandfather had a brother Leonard Case in Ohio. We are seeking evidence of that fact.
In looking over some of my father's old papers, I find Arad Joys letters. In one of them He asks for affidavits about his (Enos Case) brothers.
Now can you give me a statement of all the Records of the War Dept. may have, in regard to Enos Case. Especially his relation to Leonard and Absalom his brothers, and Caleb Case his father.

Please answer as soon as it convenient, and address

To The Commissioner Of Pensions, Washington, D. C.
My Dear Sir:-
One of our ancestors, Enos Case, state of New York, was a soldier in the war of the revolution. He enlisted in the Year of 1781 as a private. I would like very much to have his war record, and a copy of affidavits filed by him for pension claim, together with dates, addresses, &c.
Enos Case had two brothers, Absolom and Leonard. They were sons of Caleb Case. I would like to know if they were in the Revolutionary War.
Most Respectfully Yours,
W. J. Lowry.

Can you give me any information of one Enos Bae, who was a Private in the Rev. War. He was from Orange County, New York.

He is on a pay Roll 1781, under Captain Westfall and Colonel Albert Pawle Regiment. He died in 1837 in Orange Co, New York, Between that time, and 1847, efforts were made to get a pension for his widow, but she remarried and the claim was not completed.
I am his granddaughter I am 74 years old, and I am anxious to find

family history, which would be in those Affidavits if they still exist.
Do you have a Dept. of Uncompleted Claims? Any thing in regard to him would be very greatfully received.
Yours truly

Miss E. L. Sweet, Prospect Street, Norwich, N. Y.
Madam:
In reply to your letter dated the 13th instant, received the 15th, you are advised that in the papers in claim Rejected File No. 1,766 it is alleged that Enos Case was a resident of Orange county, New York, during the Revolutionary War, in which he served nine months as a Private under Captains Andrew Miller and Abraham Westfall, Colonels John Hathorn and Albert Pawling.
He died in Orange county, New York, May 1, 1837, leaving a widow, name not stated, who remarried and died prior to 1852.
On May 29, 1852, soldier's son, Hannibal Case, resident of Sullivan county, New York, aged fifty-two years, applied for pension in behalf of himself and Henry Case, Ann Kirk, Sarah Maria Little, and Phebe Evereth, surviving children of the soldier. This claim was rejected on the ground that claimant failed to furnish satisfactory proof of soldier's service, marriage, and death, and the death of his widow.
There is no mention of soldier's father or brothers, and a careful search of the records of this Bureau fails to show any claims for pension filed on account of the Revolutionary War services of Caleb, Leonard and Absalom Case.
Very respectfully,
Commissioner.
