You are advised that it appears from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W. 19747, that Samuel Hardy enlisted in 1775 and served eight months as a private in Captain Isaac Bolster's Company, Colonel Learned's Massachusetts Regiment.
He died November 19, 1826.
Soldier married March 14, 1776 in Sutton, Worcester County, Massachusetts, Judith Garfield, both parties of said Sutton.
His widow, Judith Hardy, was allowed pension on her application executed July 15, 1839, at which time she was living temporarily in Randolph, Orange County, Vermont, but gave her residence as Bethel, Windsor County, Vermont.
There is no reference to children.
The Revolutionary War records of this bureau fail to show a claim for pension on file on account of the services of Francis Hardy.
Very truly yours,

Randolph H. July 20th 1839-
Sir,
I enclose the declaration of Mrs. Judith Hardy claiming a Pension under the act of 1838
On referring to the Msp. rolls the Department may find the S r . Sam l . Hardy did some other service than the 8 Mo. agreeable to Pitman's deposition but there is not any proof now to be found yet the widow thinks he did another short tour.
I think as the papers are there can be no doubt she is entitled to a Pen- for 8 mo. service
Yours Respectfully
