Revolutionary War Pension and Bounty Land Warrant Application File W. 6034, for David Shepard, Massachusetts
Page 32

Amsterdam June 19, 1837

Dear Sir,
Enclosed I send you the application of the Widow Lucinda Shepard who claims a Pension on account of services rendered by her husband David Shepard - the reason I send this case in as respectful state is owing to the circumstance of having written the Hon. J. Q. Adams on the subject of the rank & services rendered by the said David Shepard - Mr. Adams informs me that you have in your office the rolls of the State of Massachusetts in which the services of David Shepard will be found also that he was a surgeon of Col. Danielsons Regiment - The proof of her Marriage I can satisfy you about - but must depend in a great measure on the records of the State of Massachusetts - I hope you will give this case a careful examination & respond to me as soon as your convenience will permit.

I am your friend
Matthias J. Bullen
Hon. J. L. Edwards
