Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D.C.
Dear Sir:-
I wish to know if you have any record of one Samuel Hull who was in the War of the Revolution, and who probably enlisted from New York.
He was born May 5th. 1756 and may have been in the Seventeenth Albany County regiment.
We think he had a land bounty right as his name appears on one as "Superintendent of a Class, Col. Wm. B. Whiting's regiment."
Should the name of Samuel Hull, or several such names appear on your records, please advise me, giving all the information possible and I shall be very grateful for the information.
My ancestor left the Genesee River valley about 1792 and came to Ohio, settling in what is now Columbiana County.
Yours very sincerely,
(Miss) L. Maude Hull.
