Dear Sir:-
I wish to secure such information as the records of your office will furnish concerning Nathan Hartwell, or Hartwel, my greatgrandfather, who was a soldier, during the Revolutionary War, from Massachusetts.
He afterwards removed to Ohio and lived in Licking County and, I think, died there. My information is that for a time he drew a pension. He married Sarah Ripley, but whether she drew a pension or even survived him I am not informed.
I desire information as to the military service of Nathan Hartwell, and such other information of his life and death as your records may show, and also as to his widow, if she survived him.
I will be pleased to pay necessary charges for such information as you can give me, and will also be greatly obliged for the same.
Very respectfully,
D. H. Stewart
