To the Commissioners of Pensions Washington, D. C.
My dear Sir.
In the printed volume of Pension Rolls I find that a pension was paid to a Heman Hatch living in Genesee Co. N. Y. for service on the Connecticut line during the Revolutionary War & that in 1818 the date of the commencement of the pension, he was 66 years of age. From other sources I have learned that this Heman Hatch was born in 1764 making him 51 years of age in 1818. Will you kindly inform me if the age given in the published volume is correct according to your records or whether a typographical error has crept in?
Any information which you can send me concerning this Heman Hatch from the records on file at your office will be gratefully received. Very Respectfully, Mary C. Sawyer. Registrar Mass. D. R.
