RICHARD C. HOGEBOOM R. 5103 BA-J/MLB
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Richard Hogeboom and cite one as Lieutenant of the Albany County, New York militia; one born 1762, married Hannah _____, lived near Poughkeepsie, New York, until 1829 when he and his family of eight children moved with a party of others headed by Charles Brown (whose record, also, you request) to La Salle County, Illinois, and Richard Hogeboom died at the home of his son Abel in Ottawa, that county, in 1845. You state that Charles Brown served from Albany County, New York, and married Abigail Hogeboom.
There is no claim for pension or bounty land on file based upon service in the Revolutionary War of the Charles Brown described above. Such claims are the source of data furnished by this office in regard to soldiers of the Revolutionary War. It is suggested that information in regard to his military service might be obtained from the Adjutant General, War Department, this city. Only one claim for pension was found based upon service in the Revolution of a Richard Hogeboom. It is that of Richard C. Hogeboom, whose record follows as found in the papers on file in pension claim, R. 5103, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
Richard C. Hogeboom was born December 14, 1764, in Claverack, Columbia County, New York. The names of his parents were not stated.
While residing in Stuyvesant, Columbia County, New York, Richard C. Hogeboom applied January 7, 1835, for pension, and stated that he volunteered about June 1, 1777, in Claverack, New York, and served a tour of five months as private in Captain Philip Bartel's company, Colonel Peter Van Ness' New York regiment, in which one Stephen Hogeboom was Lieutenant Colonel and one Cornelius Hogeboom was Lieutenant (their relationship to Richard C. not shown) engaged in guarding the military stores of the Commissary at Claverack. He volunteered again in the spring or early summer of 1778, and served a tour of five months as private in Captain Cornelius Hogeboom's New York company, again engaged in guarding

military stores, also driving cattle which had been purchased for the army to a place thirty miles northwest of Albany, New York.
The soldier's claim for pension was not allowed as the kind of service rendered by him was not provided for in the Act of Congress under which he applied.
No reference was made in the claim to wife or children of Richard C. Hogeboom, and no further information given in regard to him.
Very truly yours

The claim of Richard B. Hoogeboom has been examined and disallowed. He alleged 5 mos service in 77 & 5 mos in 78 under Capt s Bortle & Hoogeboom in guarding stores &c at the house of Col e Van Kepp. There is no evidence upon the records of New York Militia service of any militia company commanded by Capt s Bortle or Hoogeboom as early as 78 - and the term of service is inconsistent with the militia service of that state at that time - But the fatal objection is that he was too young to be drafted and there was no authority in Col e Van Kepp or either of the officers named to have enlisted him - and if he was neither drafted nor enlisted, his voluntary engagement in the Dr. Masters Dept t  was did not constitute military service.
x His papers are placed on file
x The delay of his application furnishes a strong presumption that he has heretofore taken the same view of it -
