BA-J/ILL Samuel Hubbell W. 18076
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Samuel Hubbell, whose widow applied for pension in 1837, also, the records of Aaron, David, Nathan, and John Hubbell, all of Connecticut.
A search of the Revolutionary War records fails to show claim for pension or bounty land on file which has been made to the United States based upon service of a John Hubbell of Connecticut, or of any Nathan Hubbell. With the information given by you, it has been impossible to identify the records of the particular Aaron and David Hubbell in whom you may be interested. The record of Samuel Hubbell is given herein as shown in pension claim, W. 18076. Other spellings of the surname were used in the search of the records.
Samuel Hubbell was born June 7, 1754, in Stratford, Fairfield County, Connecticut, and lived there during his entire life; the names of his parents are not shown.
He volunteered and served as private in the Connecticut State Guards as follows: from the spring of summer 1779, six months in Captain Ebenezer Coo's company, and was at the burning of Fairfield; from in the summer of 1780, six months in Captain David Thompson's company; and from the spring of 1781 or 1782, nine months in Captain Robert Walker's company.
The soldier died June 13, 1813.
Samuel Hubbell married January 15, 1777, Mary Beardslee, who was born March 27, 1758 in Stratford, Connecticut. They were married by the minister of the Congregational Church of Stratford.
Mary Hubbell, the soldier's widow, was allowed pension on account

of his service in the Revolutionary War on her application executed April 19, 1837, at which time she resided in Stratford, Connecticut. The Judge of the Probate Court before whom Mary Hubbell made her declaration for pension stated that when said Mary Hubbell signed her declaration, her daughter guided her hand. The witnesses to her signature were Susan Hubbell and Lemuel or Samuel (not clearly written) Hubbell. It was not stated that said Susan was the daughter who aided in making the signature. Julia Hubbell, daughter of Samuel and Mary Hubbell, was a resident of Stratford, Connecticut, at the time her mother made application for pension.
Mary Hubbell, Samuel's widow, stated that during the years of the Revolutionary War, she was engaged in spinning linen for shirts for the officers, and in making garments for the soldiers.
Abijah Beardslee, aged seventy-three years, was a resident of Stratford, Connecticut, in 1837; he stated that he was present at the wedding of the soldier and Mary Beardslee in 1777, but did not state any relationship to said Mary.
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension and possibly the date of death of Mary Hubbell, the pensioner, you should apply to The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, and cite the following - Mary Hubbell, widow of Samuel Hubbell, certificate 939, issued May 29, 1837, rate $30 per annum, commenced March 4, 1831, Act of July 4, 1836, Connecticut Agency.
It is suggested that information in regard to military records of Revolutionary War soldier might be obtained from The Adjutant General, War Department, this city. Information might be obtained also from the civil records of the counties and states in which the soldiers resided.
Very truly yours,
A. D. MILLER, Executive Assistant to the Administrator.

Will you please send me any information you have in your files about a Revolutionary soldier from Connecticut, Samuel Hubbard ? If my information is correct, he was born in Fairfield or Stratford, Conn. in 1754-58 and died in 1813. He served from 1779-1782. In 1837 his widow applied for a pension. I am very anxious to learn his wife's given and maiden names and particularly his children's names if they are included in your records.
My gr. gr. - gr. grandfather is said to have fought in the Revolution but I am not sure of his given name. His children's names were Samuel , John , Abel Jay , Aaron , Eli and Ruth . If it is not asking too much, I would be very grateful if you
