Dear Sirs - 
I have an applicant to D.A.R. who would like to join the Society of the service of Edward Carleton.
I know very little about the man.
He had a son Nathaniel who was married in Bow, N.H. Feb. 21, 1799 to Abiah Heath.  Nathaniel afterwards lived in Bartlett and Conway, N.H.  There was an Edward Carleton who signed the Association Test at Bow in 1776.  A man of the same name was pensioned under Act of March 18, 1818 and was a resident of Coos County, so he was probably living in Bartlett then.  The maiden name of his wife was Ruth Hutchins.  
The town of Bartlett was set off from Coos County in to Carroll County about 1853.
Thank you for sending me all the information you can from your records that will help me to make this application.  
Very truly yours,
Mary Carleton Brummer
