Dear Sir:
I am a granddaughter of Joseph Eastman, Jr. & write to learn if his name appears on the Pension rolls of New York, Connecticut or Vermont, as a soldier in the Revolutionary War.
He was born in 1756 & with his father, Joseph Eastman, Sr. & 2 brothers Hezekial & Nathaniel, was in the Battle of Danbury, Conn., near which town he then lived.
I have been told by my aunts that he was in the Revolutionary war 3 years & that he was a pensioner of that war.
I think it was during the war that his branch of the Eastman family removed from Conn., then Waterville, Oneida Co., N.Y.
In what regiment, for how long a time he served, I do not know authentically: any data that your department may furnish will be thankfully received.
I am very respectfully yours, Mrs. Rev. James Hamilton.
