AUGUSTA, Maine, October 2, 1903.
The Commissioner of Pensions, WASHINGTON, D. C.
Sir:-
I have the honor to enquire if you can give me record of the service of Robert Hayes, whose name appears in the 1840 list of pensioners. He was then living with his son David Hayes in Strafford, Orange county, Vermont. In the report of the Secretary of War for 1835 his name (spelled Robert Hase ) appears in the Statement for Orange county of names inscribed on the pension roll under act of March 18, 1832. He is then given as a private in New Hampshire State Troops; annual allowance, $61.66; placed on pension roll, July 8, 1834; pension commenced, March 4, 1835; age 70.
If his application shows the date and place of birth and his service, and your office records the date of his death, I should very much like a transcript of same.
Very respectfully,
Elliott C. Dill
Col. and I.G.R.P., Maine.
