Hon. Commissioner of Pensions.
Will you kindly send me copies of the service of Azariah Orton, and Joseph Hungerford? Both were soldiers in the war of the American Rev. and survived many years after. They were both from the colony of Conn. and died in Oneida Co. New York. I know that my great-grandfather Azariah Orton died in 1837 and at one time drew a pension. I do not know the exact date of the death of grandfather Hungerford, but think a few years previous to 1837. I do not know that he drew

a person, so shall have to depend upon your records for that information.
Very respectfully
Julia H. Jordan.
