Miss Rachel Ann Lusher Spirit Lake Iowa
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your request for information relative to Revolutionary War soldiers, John and Peter Hubbell.
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, S.39745, based on the military service of the only John Hubbell that is found in the Revolutionary War records of this office, who was lived in N. Y. State.
The date and place of birth of John Hubbell were not given.
He enlisted at Sheffield, Berkshire County, Massachusetts, and served from December, 1780, until June, 1783, as private with the Massachusetts troops under Captains Hunt, R. Bradford and Bowles, Colonels Jackson and Sprout and Majors Gibbs and Sumner.
He applied for pension on April 13, 1818, while living at Greenwich, Washington County, New York, and he stated that he was then sixty-three years of age. His claim was allowed.
In 1821 he was living in Greenfield Township, Erie County, Pennsylvania, and he then stated he was sixty-two years of age.
John Hubbell stated that his father, John Hubbell, was alive during the Revolution but in 1818 he stated that his father had been dead a number of years. The name of soldier's mother was not given.
In 1820 the soldier stated that he had no family then residing with him.
There are no further data on file relative to the family of this soldier.

The Revolutionary War records of this office fail to afford any information relative to a Peter Habbell.

Hon d J. C. Calhoun Esq r
Sir,
I return to the Department the case of John Hubble Jun r for a Pension. The word Junior was omitted when his case was first forwarded. At the time he was in service, as stated in his declaration, he had a father living of the name of John Hubble, but who has been dead a number of years. He has since that time signed his name John Hubble. But since his case was returned for further evidence, he has offered the addition of Jun r to his signature that it might compare with his name as on the old Rolls. He is confident he can be traced on the Rolls from the following circumstance (viz) - that about 20 years ago he sent to the War-office - when it was kept at Philadelphia & due 8 months pay which was due him as a soldier of the Revolution & which he never rec d until that time - & at that time he was found on the Rolls. It is presumed that the omission of the Junior , to his name, was the reason why the paper was returned as

it could not compare with the Rolls which was id John Hubbard Junr. - He has no doubt but he will be found on the Rolls of one of the following regiments.
He was 1 st in the 9 th Massachusetts regt. commanded by Col. - Jackson -
2 d in Col. - Sprague - 2
3 d & last in Col. - Gibbs -
I regret that it is necessary to trouble you with so long a com- -munication - but as there is no doubt of the service of the applicant - and his actual need of assistance - I am induced to urge a second attention to the case -
I am Sir, with much Respect Your Obt. Servt, &

I have a letter addressed to my grand- father Timothy Risley - Bridgeport, Conn. dated 15 th June, 1832. from R. J. Ingersoll stating, the senate had granted him 160. or 200. acres of land.
I know that he received military bounty lands in Illinois, and in Ohio. I suppose for services rendered by his father in Revolutionary War.
I would like the record of my great grandfather the father of Timothy Risley of B'port, Conn. if the facts stated above will furnish you with proper clue.
I enclose the letter of R. J. Ingersoll which kindly return and oblige.
