Dear Madam:
The data which follow were obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, R. 4820, based upon service of Amos Heald in the Revolutionary War.
Amos Heald was born May 3, 1749 in Townsend, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, where his birth was recorded; the names
of his parents are not shown.
While a resident of Jaffrey, New Hampshire, Amos Heald enlisted in April 1777, served as private in Captain Roger Gilmore's
company of New Hampshire troops at the time of the battle of Bennington, afterwards returned to Jaffrey: he served also as private
in Captain Rand's company under Colonel Stark against General Burgoyne's
army, witnessed the surrender of that army, and guarded the frontier.  He served also on a scouting party under Colonel Moore.
Amos Heald applied March 12, 1835 for the pension which might have been due on account of his service in the Revolutionary War.  
He resided then in Anson, Somerset County, Maine.  His claim was not allowed as he did not serve six months in a regularly organized
military corps as required by the pension law.
The soldier died in June 1838, in Anson, Maine, his widow, Esther, died in August 1833, at the age of ninety-six years.  Her maiden name was not shown, nor the date and place of their marriage.
In 1852, Nathan Pinkham, the soldier's grandson, resided in Anson, Maine, the names of his parents were not given, nor the
name of any other child of Amos Heald, the soldier.
In 1835, Amos Heald referred to his sister who had lived

Sir;
I have to advise you that from the papers in the
Revolutionary War pension claim, R. 4820, it appears that Amos Heald was born May 3, 1749 at Townsend, Middlesex County, Massachusetts.
While residing at Jaffrey, New Hampshire, he
listed in 1777 and alleged that he served as a private in Captain Roger Gilmore's New Hampshire Company, was in Captain Rand's Company, Colonel Stark's New Hampshire
Regiment and was at the surrender of Burgoyne and was also on a scouting party under Colonel Moore.
He applied for pension March 12, 1835, while living at Anson, Somerset County, Maine, but the claim was not allowed, as he failed to prove six months service, as required by the pension laws.
Page 29

He died at Anson, Maine in June 1836 and his wife, Esther died in August 1836, aged ninety six years.
A grandson, Naham Pinkham was a resident of Anson, Maine in 1832.  There is no further family data on file.
Respectfully,
Commissioner.
