In reply to your letter of Oct. 5 - in reference to Brady Born Green, revolutionary soldier, would say that - as certain he drew a pension. We served in the war five years: do not know his residence at the time of enlistment, but he later lived in Monroe Co. New York. I do not know his Captain or Colonel but he served under Gen'l La Fayette at Yorktown and knew him personally and paid him a visit at

Rochester when he toured the states in 1824. He was born in 1762 or 3 on Long Island. He died in Monroe Co. New York about 1850, having lived there many years. He was twice married and by his last wife who was Diana Helen there were four children. She lived in Monroe Co. till about 1852 when she moved to Calhoun Co. Indiana, where she died in 1854, aged 88 yrs. and 10 months.
From the above you can identify pension claim and give me Volume number and page, and any further data regarding the soldier in question. I will appreciate it very much. Thanking you for all favors I am
Very Respectfully
