Gentlemen:
I have been in communication with the Adjutant General of Augusta, Me. and they have referred me to your offices.
The rather incomplete records of our family show that one John Chandler , born in Westford, Mass. afterwards living in Winthrop, Me. served as a private in the Revolutionary War, and we are anxious to join the D.A.R. and must have further proof of his service,
His widow Hannah (Streeter) Chandler received a pension and the pension List of 1840 gives her name, and age as 75 years.
This coincides with our records, which are that she was born in 1765 and died 1854, making her in 1840 just 75 years old.
Will you kindly furnish this proof and also in what Company John Chandler served.
