Gentlemen: I am trying to complete some lines on my family. I shall appreciate any information you can give me regarding these.
Joseph Hawley (1763-1818*) Married Phoebe _____. He was born Ridgefield Conn. and died Greenfield N. Y. Phoebe had a pension I believe, do not know whether he had or not. Adm who were their children and whom did they marry.
072 0025 Jeremiah Shelley, private enlisted East Tennessee Mounted Infantry 1813. Thought possibly if your records showed any data might get an idea who his father or brothers were. As my Ancestor lived in Tennessee but at an earlier date than the 1812 war, but do not know who any of the family were except my great, gr. grandfather Jacob Shelley.
The Hawley I know about lived near the Lake Champlain, N.Y about 1800, and was married to a _____ Williams, I understand that the above Joseph Hawley had a dau who married a man by the name of Williams, and that I might get a clue there.
I shall thank you for your help,
