Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the records of Samuel King; his father, Thomas King; Abraham Harding; John Harding; Samuel Davis; Andrew Davis, son of Samuel; and David Owen, all soldiers of the Revolutionary War.
Because of the great demand for Revolutionary War data and the limited trained clerical force available for furnishing such data, it is not possible to comply in full with each request pertaining to soldiers of that war. The record of an Andries Davis who always lived in Ulster County, New York, and that of David Owen are furnished herewith.
Very truly yours
