V.L.M. Rev. War Section.
December 20, 1916.
Mr. John Grass, 690 Lafayette Street, Denver, Colorado.
Sir:
In response to your letter dated the first instant, you are advised that from the papers in the claim of Frederic Grass, S. File No. 39,607, it appears that soldier was allowed a pension of $8.00 per month commencing July 26, 1819, for two years service as a Private in Colonel Neville's Regiment, Virginia Troops, War of Revolution.
He was a resident of Augusta County, Virginia, aged sixty-six years in 1822, at which time his wife, whose name is not stated, was fifty years old. There is no other family data on file and it does not appear that any one ever applied for pension as his widow.
Very respectfully,
Commissioner.
