To the Commissioner of Pensions, Washington D. C. Dear Sir:
I'm any research at the Newberry Library, Chicago Ill. for revolutionary ancestors. I find that a Timothy Clements served in a New Hampshire Militia.
There was more than one Timothy Clements a son and a father etc.

I am trying to find date of birth, death and marriage.
Both Timothy Clements were baptians! The one I believe to be the ancestor I am looking for was as follows.
Timothy Clements, captain bap. Timothy Clements Co. 1 st New Hampshire Battalion commanded by Col. Pierre Long
He was commissioned Aug. 7 1776 and his name last appears on the company muster roll dated June 11 th 1777, which shows that he enlisted Sept 10 th year and summer, and that the enlistment was to Aug 7 th 1777.

Have you any data regard- ing either one. It might have been father & son.
The place of abode was Hopkinton N. H. and that is the place where my great, great great grand father Timothy Clements lived at, or near. that time.
Any information will be most gratefully received
Sincerely
Mrs. W. S. Perry.
