I am sixth in descent from Lieut. John Brown, of Belfast, Me., who
came with his father from Londonderry, Ire., and was one of the
settlers of Londonderry, N. H. He was chairman of the first Board of
Selectmen of Belfast, Me., chosen Nov. 11, 1773–75. He removed from
Londonderry, N. H. While residing in Londonderry, he had been a
commissioned officer in the Provincial Army, and had served in the
French War. He was one of the Committee of Safety and Inspection.
If I had the time for research, I feel that I could find others of
my ancestors who came from Ireland.
With kindest regards, sincerely yours,
EDWARD A. MOSELEY.
_From the National Commander of the Union Veteran Legion._
WILMINGTON, Del., January 20.
RESPECTED SIR:—I am in hearty sympathy with your proposed
organization, and should feel myself honored by being considered a
member of it, and will work to the best of my ability to accomplish
the desired purpose in the limited field presented to me in this
state of Delaware. I am now engaged in convention at Dover,
Delaware, framing a new constitution for our state, and will have
more leisure when that has been accomplished. In the meantime I beg
to assure you of my sincere thanks and high appreciation at the
honor conferred upon me by yourself and honorable colleagues in so
worthy a movement, and have the honor to remain,
Very truly,
JNO. P. DONAHOE,
National Commander.
