Pension Bureau
Washington D. C.
Dear Sir
Some time subsequent to the year 1826 application was made to the Pension Department for a pension based on the services of Joel Green (who enlisted from East Haddam Conn.) in the Revolutionary War.
I am unable to state by whom the application was made whether by himself or his wife Marcie Green.
I am desirous of not only obtaining his service record but other data that a Pension application is sure to contain.

The application, (so I have always understood) was reported on adversely by the Pension Department, but for what reason, I have never learned.
He was taken a prisoner during the war and taken to England and imprisoned in Dartmoor or Dartmouth Prison and subsequently escaped to France with others, and was unable to return to this country until some time after the war was over.
If you can give me any information with reference to him, I would greatly appreciate same.
Thanking You for a reply, I am,
Very Truly Yours Mallon Clarke #1127 Beech st

Rev. War Section.
July 26, 1912.
Mr. Mallon Clarke, 1127 Beech Street, San Diego, Cal.
Sir:
In reply to your letter dated the 17 th and received the 22 nd instant, you are advised that the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau show that one Joel Green applied for pension under the Act of 1818, from Ohio, but his claim was rejected June 23, 1825, on the ground that "it appears by the muster rolls of Colonel Huntington's regiment, that he enlisted for the war, February 8, 1777, and deserted February 1, 1779, and that is a bar to all claims to any gratuity whatever for services performed during the Revolutionary War".
There are no papers on file in this Bureau and therefore no further information concerning him.
Very respectfully,
J. C. Mansfield Commissioner.

Sir:-
The claim of Joel Green to a pension on account of Revolutionary service has been examined and rejected. It appears by the muster rolls of Colonel Huntington's regiment, that Green enlisted for the war, February 8, 1777, and deserted February 1, 1779, and that is a bar to all claims to any gratuity whatever for services performed during the Revolutionary War. His papers in the case will remain on our files agreeably to the regulations of this Department.
