Dear Sir:
I have written you 3 or 4 times about an Isaac Chase pensioner; New Haven Co.; Congress reg't.: private; d. Oct. 20, 1818. I want to know where he died; his wife's name; & the name of his children. Pension began Mar. 30, 1818. Then you sent me a record of an Obadiah Chase & his widow Ruhemah.
He was an 1812 soldier. I desire to know when he died. I have asked you several times where the 160 Acres (that his widow Ruhemah received in 1860) was situated. I have also asked you what battles he took part in. These are the only points I want as mentioned above. It seems to me that it would take you only a little time to look up these points. I think that the descendants of those who have sacrificed themselves for the government are entitled to some consideration. I must get the above points before I can join the "Sons of the Revolution" & "War of 1812" societies.
Yours truly,
Wm A E Thomas.
