DAVID SUTTEN-O. W. I. [F]. 36423. David Sutten, as he signed his name, was born July 3, 1776 in Salisbury, Connecticut; the names of his parents are not shown. Whi[l]e a resid[en]t of Pompey, Onondaga County, New York, he en-listed sometime in 1799, at Fort Oswego, New York, and served as private under Lieutenant Nanning J. Visscher until ordered to Fort Niagara, and there, on July 1, 1800, he enlisted and served as pri-vate in Captain John Michael's company, 1" Regiment of U. S. Infantry, and, while carrying timber for gun carriages, in October 1801, re-ceived an injury which resulted in an inguinal hemi[a], rendering him unfit for further active duty; he was discharged April 17, 1802 at Fort Niagara, New York. David Sutten applied for pension March 20, 1820, on account of disability resulting from the above noted injury: he was then a resident of Jefferson County, Indiana. His claim was allowed. In September 1821, he resided in Lancaster in said Jefferson county: in 1832, he resided near Madison in that same county. The soldier referred to his wife and one child at the time of his discharged at Fort Niagara, New York, but he did not state their names, nor refer to any other children. It was stated that his wife had been married more th[a]n once previously, name of her former husbands not given. In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, name of person paid, and, possibly, the date of death of David Sutten, you should apply to The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following: David Sutton (as his name was borne on the penaion [pension] roll) Certificate #958 Issued November 1, 1822 Rate $4 per month Commenced September 30, 1822.
