Sir;
I have to advise you that from the records of this Bureau it appears that Rudolph Cook served as a Captain in Colonel Klock's New York Regiment.
He applied for pension on account of loss of sight occasioned by having an eye struck out in assisting some women to draw water out of a well at Stone Arabia Fort in July 1780, but the claim was not allowed as he failed to prove that the injury was incurred in the line of duty.
There is no further data relative to his services and no data on file as to his family.
Respectfully,
Commissioner.
