Mr. W. K. Mrs. M. H. Garvin, 124 S. 33 St. Omaha, Nebr.
Madam:
I have to advise you, that from the papers in the pension claim, S. 36588, it appears that Ebenezer Hoyt, while living at Norwalk, Connecticut, enlisted January 3, 1776, served as a private in Captain Joseph White Co. Col one Charles Webb's Connecticut Regiment. He was in the battle of Trenton and was discharged December 27, 1776, but re-enlisted in Captain Joseph A. Wright's Company, was captured on February 26, or 27, 1777, confined in New York City for two months on a prison ship and for twelve months on land and then exchanged.
He was allowed pension on his application executed March 30, 1818, while living at Wilton, Connecticut.
In 1820, he referred to his family as consisting of his wife Richama aged fifty-five years, her daughter Delia Williams aged sixteen years and his grandson, Ebenezer C., Hoyt aged twelve years. He did not give the names of his former wife, and his son, the father of Ebenezer C. Hoyt.
See Conn. Archives for officers. But soldier does not appear there.
This man was all mixed up about his second enlistment. His first statement was entirely incorrect because during that period Uriah Raymond was only an ensign and would S. Silliman became a Brig Gen. in Dec. 1776. For A. Wright did become a capt. then but he did not serve under Col. Webb. hence my

In 1823, he referred to Delia Gilbert, the daughter of his late wife and to his wife, Sarah, then aged sixty-three years.
There is no further data on file as to his wives.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT, Commissioner.

Mr. Tomlinson called at the office (1 Apr. 1824) and made a verbal explanation in the case of Ebenezer Hoyt. He says that in Connecticut, the fee is in the mortgagee - of course in this case, before Hoyt could convey his property to any one after he had mortgaged it, he must first get a quit claim from the mortgagee, which he has done, and in this way Mr. T. accounts for the recent conveyance of the property back to Hoyt just before he conveyed it to L. S. Hoyt.
