Sir
The application of Elizabeth Coe widow of Samuel W of NY has been examined and filed under the Act of July 7 1838,
There is but one Roll of Captain Schermer in this Office, I find upon it the name of " Samuel Coe " as Sergeant, but no length of service is given, but he received a payment for service, which indicates a period of about 3 months, Pensions are not allowed for less than six months service, — But if the Roll indicated a service of six months I should not be able to find from the papers on file that the " Samuel Coe " who served and the Samuel W Coe , claimed to be the husband of the applicant were the same man, Proof of this by witnesses who knew the fact should be

Dear Sir:-
Have you any record of the Revolutionary service of a Samuel W. Coe? He in all probabilities served in Col. Ann Hawk Hay's 1st. Reg. of Orange County, (N.Y.) militia, for he resided at a place called New Hempstead, Orange County, (now Rockland) N.Y. In old records it is referred to as Haverstraw Precinct.
Samuel Coe was born Apr. 2nd. 1760. He died Jan. 20th. 1822. His wife was Elizabeth Dusenberry and they had nine children. William, John, Jesse, Abigail, Hannah, Elizabeth, Catherine, Sarah and Samuel. Samuel W. Coe was the son of William Coe.
There is a tradition current among his descendants that he served in the Revolutionary war and an old flint lock musket still in the family is reputed to have been his.
Any information you can give me on this subject will be very much appreciated as I want to use it in connection with membership in the Sons of the American Revolution.
Thanking you in advance, I am
Yours etc.
