Madam:
In response to your letter of the twenty-seventh ultimo, I have to advise you, that this Bureau is unable to furnish the history of a soldier of the Revolution, unless a claim for pension, or bounty land has been made on account of his services and a careful search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the services of Aaron, David, Eli, Japhet, Nathaniel, Richard and the three John Hubbard, or Hubbard, or similar name, as described by you.
From the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 19348, it appears that Joel Hubbard was born Sept. 19, 1758, at Rutland, Worcester Co., Mass. and lived there when he enlisted and served in the Mass. Troops, as a private, as follows:
From Dec. 1, 1776, for four and a half months, in Capt. Ezekiel Knowlton's Company, Col. Dyke's Regiment.
From June 1777, for six months in Capt. Burt's Company.
From July 1780, for three months, in Capt. Ephraim Stearn's Company, Col. Rand's Regiment.

NOV 6 1882
He was allowed pension on his application executed Sept. 8, 1832, while living in Rutland, Mass. He died Jan. 5, 1853, place not stated.
There is no data on file as to his family.
Herewith is returned your check on the Seattle National Bank, for one dollar, drawn to the order of the Pension Bureau, as no fee is charged for this service.
Respectfully,
WILDER S. METCALF, Commissioner.

Gentlemen;
Inclosed is my check for one dollar for seeing if you have any of the following records, if you have, I shall be glad to pay for copying them.
I am trying to locate an ancestor of my husband's in order that he can trace his line to his great grand father who fought in the Revolutionary War, but am greatly handicapped because we do not know, for a certainty, his first name. On account of the peculiar spelling, a final "t", instead of "d", and other facts with which we are familiar, such as children, localities, etc., I thought that we might trace him, if we found out the details about some of the Hubbarts who took part in the War and whose records are on file.
