Dear Sir:

     The data which follow were obtained from the papers on file in Revolutionary War pension claim, R.1726, based upon the military service  in the war of Daniel Carril or Carrell.

Daniel Carril was born October 17, 1748.  The place of his birth and names of his parents are not shown.

While a resident of Bute County, North Carolina, Daniel Carril enlisted early in the Revolution and served at different times until sometime in 1781, after the sieges of Augusta and Ninety Six, about two years and six months in all, as a private in Captains Daniel Jones' and Jacob Turner's Companies,  Colonel Jethro Sumer's 3" North Carolina Regiment.  During the period of service, stated above, he served ten months as a wagoner and was stationed at Halifax, North Carolina.  He was at the sieges of Charleston, Savannah, Augusta and Ninety Six and in some skimshes with the Indians in the southern part of the state of Georgia.

He was allowed pension on his application executed April 12, 1820, while residing in Lauderdale County, Alabama.  He signed Daniel Carril, was borne on the pension rolls as Daniel Carrell.

The soldier married in Union County, South Carolina, November 11, 1793, Hannah, daughter of Edward and Ester Insco.

In 1820, soldier stated that his family then residing with him consisted of his wife, aged about forty-two years, his wife's mother, aged about sixty-six years and a girl, aged about fifteen years, who he was rearing at the request of her parents.  He did not give any names.  In 1825, Daniel Carril was living in Athens, Limestone County, Alabama.

Sir - 

In reply to yours of 8 inst enclosing a pension certificate which had been unadvisedly issued in your behalf.  I have to inform you that the service of waiter is not provided for by the Act of 7 '32.  While acting in that capacity, you were only 13 years old & therefore incapable of an enlistment & subjection to the duties of a soldier.  You will therefore refund to the agent at New York the amt you may have improperly  received.
