XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Honorable George Holden Tinkham House of Representatives Washington, D. C.
COPP RECORDS REV. WAR. BA-J/MMHF:MLB
My dear Mr. Tinkham:
Reference is made to your letter of March 9, in which you cite previous correspondence in regard to photostatic copies of papers on file in Revolutionary War claims for pension, based upon service of soldiers with surname Copp, in which Mr. Frank M. Ferrin, 3 Park Street, Boston, is interested. Mr. Ferrin states, in his letter which you enclosed, that he had assumed that the research had been made and the material in those cases indexed, that he is interested in the Massachusetts and New Hampshire Copp records, particularly, and at present, Aaron and Moses Copp of New Hampshire, of whose records he desires photostatic copies.
In regard to the material having been indexed, Revolutionary War claims for pension are filed alphabetically according to the full names of the soldiers and are the original papers submitted by those applicants. All data furnished by the Veterans Administration in regard to those soldiers are obtained by reading those original documents and assembling such data as are found therein, for official reports.
There is no claim for pension on file based upon service in the Revolutionary War of a Moses Copp from any state.
Aaron Copp made application for pension on account of disability incurred in service in that war. His application being prior to 1800, the papers in his application were destroyed by fire when the War Office was burned in that year. In the Report of the Secretary of War printed in 1835, in regard to the Pension Establishment, the following data are shown in regard to him: that he served as sergeant, received a pension of $60 per annum from March 4, 1789, under the Act of June 7, 1785, at which time he was a resident of New Hampshire,

the county not shown. He died about 1809. This office has no further information in regard to him.
In regard to another Revolutionary War soldier, Ebenezer Copp, of New Hampshire, reference to the "American State Papers", class 9, page 58, reveals that the name of Ebenezer Copp was borne on a list of invalid pensioners returned by the Circuit Court for the District of New Hampshire, submitted to the House of Representatives by the Secretary of War, December 14, 1792, with the information that he was a sergeant in Colonel Read's regiment, was badly wounded in his side, back and groin, in the battle of Bunker Hill and that he had received a pension (New Hampshire State pension) from May 28, 1792; also, on page 108 of the same volume, American State Papers, it is shown that his name was borne on a list of invalid pensioners submitted in the same manner as described above, wounded, same battle, etc., and residence given as Hampstead. In a volume entitled "Alphabetical List of Private Claims which have been presented to the House of Representatives", it is shown that Ebenezer Copp was granted an invalid pension by the United States, Bill No. 12, passed by House and Senate, 3rd Congress, 1st Session, and approved June 9, 1794, and again, 4th Congress, 1st Session, Bill No. 156, passed by House and Senate and approved April 20, 1796, in his behalf. This office has no further information in regard to him.
In regard to photostatic copies of other Copp records of Massachusetts and New Hampshire, the approximate cost will be $17.00. If Mr. Ferrin decides upon having these copies made, a more detailed statement will be made in regard to cost, method of remittance, etc.
Because of the very frail condition of some of these old documents and the great desire to take every precaution toward the preservation of them, it would be very gratifying, indeed, if you or Mr. Ferrin could designate some reliable research worker or stenographer to call and copy the data in full. The process of making photostatic copies is necessarily injurious because of extra handling, etc.
Mr. Ferrin's letter is returned herewith.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER Executive Assistant to the Administrator
