Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter relative to soldiers of the Revolutionary War.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims made to the United States for pension and bounty land based upon military service of soldiers in that war.
A careful search of the records fails to show such a claim on file on account of the services of Abraham Green or Greene.
The data contained herein are obtained from the papers on file in the Revolutionary War claim for pension, S.36562, based upon the military service of John Green in that war.
The date and place of birth and the names of the parents of John Green are not shown.
John Green enlisted in Peekskill, New York, about January 1777, served as private in Captain Samuel Sackett's Company, Colonels Henry B. Livingston's and Weissenfels' New York Regiments and in Captains Theodosius Fowler's and John Francis Hamtramck's Companies, Colonel Philip Van Cortlandt's Second New York Regiment and was discharged in 1783 at the close of the war. He afterwards served in the army of the United States under General Wayne, no further details of this service given.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 10, 1818, at which time he was about sixty-seven years old and a resident of New Milford, Litchfield County, Connecticut.

In 1820 soldier referred to his wife, Eunice, her maiden name not stated, aged sixty-three years and his two daughters, their names and ages are not shown. There are no further family data.
Date of death not on aB.
Very truly yours

Dear Sir:
Is it possible for me to find out whether the name of Abraham Green , a Revolutionary Soldier, is on the pension list? He served in Westchester Co., N.Y. and died in Cherry Valley, Otsego Co., N.Y. July 25, 1834. Also John Green (Rev. soldier) who served from Westchester County, N.Y. I do not know anything further about him.
I should greatly appreciate knowing whether these names are on the pension list; and if they are, the names of any of the family which might also occur & might help to identify them.
Very truly,
Catharine Harrison
