Mr. E. E. Pendleton
143 North 16th Street,
East Orange, New Jersey.

Sir:
In reply to your letter dated the 1st and received the 3rd instant, you are advised that David Pendleton (Inv. File 20,910) applied for a pension certificate October 26, 1819, stating that he was a resident of Weston, Fairfield County, Connecticut, and that he was placed on the Invalid pension roll during the 2nd session of the 10th Congress of the United States of America.  He did not mention his service.
From the publication entitled "American State Papers, Claims, Class 9" it appears that "David Pendleton of Connecticut, a Private of the 2nd regiment enlisted April 1, 1778 for the War, was wounded by a musket ball in his thigh and pensioned from May 2, 1792".
He died February 11, 1826.  No data as to family.

You are further advised that the Revolutionary War records fail to show that claims for pension were filed for the services of Benjamin Pendleton, Caleb Pendleton, Daniel Pendleton, Gideon Pendleton, Increase Pendleton, James Pendleton, Joseph Pendleton, Nathaniel Pendleton, and Peleg Pendleton. 
Very respectfully,
*From "Printed List"
