Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Henry Helm and of two soldiers named Isaac Depew.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims made to the United States for pension and bounty land based upon military service of soldiers of that war.
A careful search of the Revolutionary War records has been made in your behalf and no record found of such claims having been made on account of the services of Henry Helm.
It is suggested that as a possible means of obtaining information in regard to the military service of soldiers of that war, you apply to The Adjutant General, War Department, this city.
The histories of Isaac Depuy and Isaac Depew are furnished herewith, in separate sheets, the data for which were obtained from the respective claims for pension, W. 2769, and R. 2892, based upon their services in the War of the Revolution.
Very truly yours

Honorable Frank B. Willis United States Senate
My dear Senator:
In response to your letter of the 5th instant, I have the honor to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim S. 2186 it appears that Christopher Depoy was born in August 1781 in Reading, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He was the son of Isaac Depoy who was a resident of Rockingham County, Virginia during the Revolution.
While a resident of Rockingham County, Virginia he enlisted in October 1780 and served three months as a private in Captain Rice's Company, Colonel Nall's Virginia Regiment.
He enlisted early in 1781 and served three months as a private in Captain Baxter's Company, Colonel Nall's Virginia Regiment.
He enlisted again in 1781 and served three months as a private in Captain Herron's Virginia Company.
He was allowed pension on his application executed

March 21, 1833 while living in Buckskin Township, Ross County, Ohio. It is not stated that he ever married.
This Bureau is unable to furnish the history of a soldier of the Revolution unless a claim for pension or bounty land has been made on account of his services and a careful search of the records fails to show such a claim on file on account of the services of any Isaac Depoy or Dubois, or Dubose.
You are herewith furnished the history of the only Isaac Depuy found on said records.
From the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim W. 2769 it appears that Isaac Depuy enlisted at the age of sixteen years, "about forty miles up the North River" in New York State, and served six months as a private in Captain James Taller's Company, Colonel Grimes' New York Regiment.
He then went out on a second tour and served one month as a private in Captain Porter's New York Company and was at the taking of Fort Independence.
He was allowed pension on his application executed August 20, 1832 while living in Fairview Township,

York County, Pennsylvania aged seventy-two years. He died in said county April 15, 1839.
Soldier married April 15, 1791, Catherine Ket- terman who was allowed pension on her application executed November 15, 1843 while living in York County, Pennsylvania aged seventy-one years. There is no further data as to family.
Sincerely,
Commissioner.

The information, I am seeking is for the purpose of my becoming a member of the "Daughters of the Revolution."
I know I am eligible but do not have the war record of my great-great grandfather Isaac Depew, who at the age of seventeen, enlisted from New York State, in the Revolutionary Army under Washington.
After the war, he came to Pennsylvania, and settled in the Fishing Creek Valley, in

York county and married a woman by the name of Hetterman. I do not know the date of his death but do know he reared a large family.
I was advised to write to your Department for in- formation and I shall be very grateful and willing to pay for any that you may be able to give me.

Dear Sir, I am again under the necessity of again sending you Mrs. Dupuis pension application.
I sent it back to Mr. Buchanan, but it was again forwarded on to me this morning. I am informed that the certificate of the credibility of the witness was omitted to be inserted when she was sworn on the 15 th of November - but afterwards certified to by Judge Dow on the 5 th of December - when he came to York to attend Court - that the paper was retained until he came down on purpose to get the certificate of credibility as one of the judges knowing the witness and no one therefore being able to give it but himself.
The certificate of the Prothonotary has been affixed to authenticate the signature of the judge on the 13 th inst as is required by the rule of the Department.
