Mrs. Edward V. Howlett 385 Huron Street Pontiac, Michigan
Dear Madam:
I advise you that the Revolutionary War and War of 1812 records of this bureau, and records of intervening period do not show a claim for pension on file by Mariam Heath Spellar on account of the services during that period of John Augustus Spellar.
You are requested to furnish any data you may have in your possession relative to the alleged pension.
From the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W.10116, it appears that Isaac Hodges was born February 17, 1756, at Phillips Patent, Dutchess County, New York.
While residing near Little White Creek, now Washington County, New York, he enlisted in February or March, 1776, and served one year in Captain McCracken's Company, Colonel Van Schaick's New York Regiment.
He enlisted in March, 1780, and served three months in Captain Elijah Russell's Company, Colonel Van Schaick's New York Regiment.
He enlisted in the fall of 1780, and served about one month in Captain Samuel Hodges' Company, Colonel Van Schaick's New York Regiment,
After the Revolution, he moved to Schaghticoke, New York, lived there one year, then returned to Little White Creek, thence to Florida, on the Mohawk River, where he lived for fifteen or sixteen years, thence to Skaneateles,
Onondaga County

Onondaga County, New York, at which place he died March 10, 1828.
The soldier married March 5, 1778, at Maloomscoick (probably meant for Waloomsac), near Little White Creek, New York, Anna Cary, who was born March 7, 1761.
She was allowed pension on her application executed May 10, 1838, at which time she was a resident of Ypsilanti Township, Washtenaw County, Michigan. In 1839, her postoffice address was Kensington, Oakland County, Michigan.
No reference is made to children.
One Russel Hodges was a resident of Ypsilanti, Michigan in 1838, relationship to soldier and his widow not shown.
Very truly yours
