Gentlemen:-
I am desirous of obtaining the Revolutionary War record of my great-grandfather, Benjamin Grace . I am told that he enlisted originally from Maine, which was then a part of Massachusetts, and was engaged in the battles of Bunker Hill, Valley Forge, and other engagements during the Revolutionary War. Some time after the war he moved to Sodus, N.Y., and later came to Michigan, settling in Farmington. As a result of exposure in the war he was blind for the last twenty-five years of his life, and I believe received a small pension from the Government. He died about 1856 at Farmington, Mich.
I shall greatly appreciate a copy of whatever records may be available, and am willing to pay any reasonable price for their compilation.
Very truly yours,

Gentlemen:— Will you kindly give me a copy of the war record, or dates and facts concerning the service in the Revolutionary War , of my great grandfather Benjamin Grace. I give you herewith all the facts of family history I have been able to ascertain concerning him; so that his record may be identified.
Benjamin Grace born in 1760. (Maine thinks ) Enlisted in 1776 for three months. Family legend says he was in the battle of Trenton and helped guard the prisoners captured there. Re-enlisted for three years, and at expiration of time enlisted again and served till close of war. Was granted a pension for injuries sustained, and drew a pension until he died in 1851. Removed to Mich. while it was still a territory. Was blind (as a result of injuries sustained in the war) for thirty or forty years. Died at Farmington, Wayne Co., Mich.
I hope to get a satisfactory record of his service, so that I may join the Daughters of the Revolution.
