Gentlemen,

I would appreciate having any military or family records which might be filed in your office pertaining to soldier, Daniel Webb.
Southern Berkshire Co., Mass. records show that he and Luranda Bishop filed a marriage agreement in 1840 and gives their marriage date as Apr 30 1840.  That he was an old man at that time is indicated in the above agreement where "Daniel Webb and his family" are mentioned.  The marriage record calls him "Daniel Webb, a Revolutionary Soldier"  but he may have served in the war of 1812.

Thanking you for past favors,
I remain yours truly
