Madam:
I advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 40061, it appears that JACOB GRUBE enlisted in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in June, 1775, and served one year as a private in Captain James Ross' Company in Colonels William Thompson's and Edward Hand's Pennsylvania Regiments. He enlisted in 1782 and served six months as a private in Captain Hart's Pennsylvania Company.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 22, 1818.
In 1820 he was sixty-five years of age and was living in Lancaster, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
There are no data on file relative to wife and children.
This is the only soldier by the name of Jacob Grubb that is found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau and there are no records of Revolutionary War soldiers by the names of John Drake, Abraham Bright and Jesse Spurgeon.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner

Harrisburg 11 th June 1819
Sir
I received your letter by Mrs. Reichard. I called on Mr. Hubly, his Certificate respecting your service in the Rifle Company, commanded by Capt. Jas. Ross, which marched to Boston is herewith enclosed; — I also send you the Certificate of Mr. Jacob Leach, which was in our Office, filed among the papers, which enabled you to get placed on the pension list of this State — I would advise you to get Col. Hough and other respectable characters who knew Leach & Hubly being in the service to testify to the fact; — I think it is important to do so; perhaps the names of Hubly & Leach might not be recollected at Washington. I am much hurried, else I should be more particular in my advice to you. In the mean time accept my best respects Your friend
