Reference is made to your letters in which you request to know the place of birth of Mary Carl, widow of John Carl(W.16206), Revolutionary War pensioner; also record of Joseph Hibbard, of Sanford, Maine, later of Oneida County, New York, also, of Samuel Hogg, N.H.
As stated in the report furnished you October 7, 1937, in the claim of John Carl(W.16206), the place of birth of Mary Carl, the widow, was not stated in that claim for pension. The record of Joseph Hibbard follows, as found in the claim for pension, W.23291, based upon the military service of that soldier in the Revolutionary War. No claim found based on service of a Samuel Hogg, of New England.
The date and place of birth and names of his parents are not shown.
Joseph Hibbard enlisted at Sanford, Massachusetts, in May, 1775, served in Captain Morgan Lewis' Company, Colonel James Scammon's Massachusetts Regiment and was at the battle of Bunker Hill; length of service, eight months; he enlisted in April, 1776, served in Captain Wild's Company, Colonel Phinney's Massachusetts Regiment and marched to Ticonderoga; enlisted there in the fall of 1776, for three years, served in Captain Merrill's Company, Colonel Brewer's Massachusetts Regiment, was at the battle of Bennington, where he was taken prisoner but escaped in a short time, and at the capture of Burgoyne; he wintered at Valley Forge and in December, 1778, received a furlough to go home and recover his health and did not again rejoin his company and regiment. It was stated that he was injured while in the service by "the fall of a Barrack"; nature of injury and place where it was received not shown.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 23, 1818, at which time he was aged sixty-one years and resided in Verona, Oneida County, New York. He signed Joseph Hibbard, was pensioned Hibbard.

Joseph Hibbard died May 11, 1834, at Verona, New York.
The soldier married March 16, 1779 or 1780(both dates are given), in Phillipstown(later Alfred), Massachusetts(Maine), Dorothy Eastman, date and place of her birth and names of her parents not shown.
Soldier's widow, Dorothy, was allowed pension on her application executed March 11, 1837, at which time she was aged seventy-seven years and resided in Verona, New York.
In 1843, one James Hibbert was living in Verona, New York; no relationship to the family was shown.
In 1837, Daniel Eastman and his wife, Anna, aged eighty and seventy-eight years, respectively, were residents of Cornish, York County, Maine, and stated that they were present at the marriage of Joseph and Dorothy Hibbard; no relationship to Dorothy was shown. There are no further family data.
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, the name and address of person paid and possibly the date of death of the Revolutionary War pensioner, Dorothy Hibbard, widow of Joseph Hibbard(W.23391), you should address The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following data:

Dear Sir:-
Having received from your office valuable information on one Joseph Hebbard and wife Dorothy (Eastman) Hebbard, but none the record of her birthplace or parentage.
I am writing to inquire if there is any way to secure a  copy of her application for pension . Certificate no 105 New York Agency. Widow of Joseph Hebbard, pensioner, formerly of Conway and Sanford, Maine. Both died in Verona, Oneida Co. N. Y.
The application of Dorothy (Eastman) Hebbard would doubtless give where she was born if not parents names.

She was doubtless a sister of the Daniel Eastman of Sanford, Maine - a Rev. Pensioner. claim S. 18390. but parentage not found.
