Department of the Interior
From the papers USS, Rejected File No. Washington 21,887, it appears that Danile Job, (of Archibald) was born February 18, 1837, at East Nottingham Hundred, in Cecil County, Maryland , where he was still living on October 20, 1837, when he applied for pension, and alleged  that he served from February 14, 1777, in Captain John Ogilby's Company, Colonel Ramsey's Regiment, two and a half months. That he was ordered out under said captain in August 1777, was in a skirmish at Coach's 'illegible' and then was placed at work in a gun factory, serving under Captain Ogilsby and Booth for the purpose of watching Tories and refugees and served three months.
His claim was not allowed, as he did not furnish satisfactory proof of six months actual military service in the field as required by the pension laws.
It is not stated whether he was ever married.
Very truly yours, 
'illegible signature"
Acting Commissioner
