Dear Madam:

The Revolutionary War records of this office show that John Chapple (Chappell) served as a private in Colonel Parsons' Sixth Connecticut regiment, and was wounded in the battle of Bunker Hill by two balls in his shoulder and side, which fractured his shoulder blade and injured his arm.

He was allowed pension from March 4, 1793 on account of disability resulting from the above noted wounds.

He at one time lived in Montville, Connecticut.  He died in 1797.  The date and place of his birth were not given, nor were the names of his parents stated. 

There are no further data in this office concerning this soldier, due to the destruction of papers in such claims, when the War Office was burned in 1800.

Very truly yours

Dear Madam:
                    Reference is made to your letter in which you
state that the record you desire is that of Jonathan
Chapel who died in 1822, whose name you had thought was
John Chapel.
                   As stated in letter to you on May 4, this office
has no record of a claim for pension or bounty land
based upon service in the Revolutionary War of a
Jonathan Chapel under any spelling of that surname.
Such claims are the source of Revolutionary War data
furnished by this office.

                  It is suggested that information in regard to his
military service might be obtained from The Adjutant
General, War Department, this city.
                                Very truly yours,

Dear Madam:
    Reference is made to your letter relative to John
or Jonathan Chapel who made an application for pension
in 1818, for Revolutionary War service, while a resident
of German, Chenango County, New York, having moved in
1810 from Connecticut.
    The Revolutionary War records of this office show
that on August 4, 1931, the record of one John Chapple
or Chappell was furnished you, the only one of Connecticut
found on the Revolutionary War pension records. He died
in 1797. No record has been found of the one you describe
as above, or of a Jonathan Chapel, all spellings of the
surname searched.
    The pension may have been paid by the state from which
John Chapel served, or he may have made an application in
1818, which was never submitted to the Pension Office
                                            Very truly yours,

Dear Madam,

    We are advised that it appears from the Revo-
lutionary War records of this office that John Chapple
or Chappell served as a private in Colonel Parsons'
Sixth Connecticut regiment, and was wounded in the 
battle of Bunker Hill by two balls in his shoulder and
side, which fractured his shoulder blade, and injured
his arm.
    He was allowed pension from Marcg 4, 1793, on
account of disability resulting from the above noted 
wounds.
    At one time he lived in Montville, Connecticut.
    He died in 1797. The date of his birth is not given.

    There are no further data as to his service, and
no data as to family, due to the destruction of papers
War Office was burned in 1800 and 1814
    The above history is that of the only soldier named
John Chapple ( all spellings of that surname searched) that
is found on the Revolutionary War records of the office of
Connecticut, and said records fail to afford any information
in regard to a soldier of that name in New York.

                                  Very truly yours

Honorable W. L. Nelson
House of Representatives.

My dear Mr. Nelson:
    In response to your telephone call of the tenth
instant, I have the honor to advise you that the Revo-
lutionary War records of this Bureau fail to afford
any information to any soldiers with surname Marshall,
who were pensioned on account of services in said war
while residing in Mecklenburg County, Virginia.
    You are herewith furnished the histories of the
only soldiers named John Chappell (all spellings of
that name searched) found on the Revolutionary War
records of this Bureau.
    From the records of this Bureau, it appears
that John Chapple (Chappell) served as a private in
Colonel Parsons' Sixth Connecticut Regiment, and was
wounded at the battle of Bunker Hill by two balls in
his shoulder and side, which fractured his shoulder
blade, and injured his arm.
    He was allowed pension on account of disability

                           2.

resulting from above mentioned wound from March
4, 1793. At one time he lived at Montville. He
died in 1797,
    There are no further data as to his services,
and no data as to his family, owing to the destruc-
tion of papers, when the War Office was burned in
1800 and 1814.

    I am interested in securing the
Service Record of John or Jonathan
Chapel who fought in the Revolutionary 
War. He was born in 1756, & was 19 years 
old when he first enlisted in 1775 under
Major Jonathan Latimer at New London
Conn
    He petitioned for pension in 1818. Did
he obtain it? Where is it possible to find
the names of his wife and children.
    He moved from Connecticut to Chenango Co
New York in 1810 and in 1818, when he
petitioned for pension was living at German
Chenango Co. New York
    Please send me all the information
available about this man & his family

Dear Sir
    I am looking for information
as to the date of birth of John Chapel
or John Chappell, the name is spelled
either ways.
He petitioned for a pension under the
act of 1818, from Chenango, Co., New 
York and was a resident of German of
said County at that time, May 12, 1818; but
his enlistments were at New London,
Connecticut and his home was at
Montville, Conn, at the time of the war.
    There were two John Chapels that
fought in the Revolution and if you have
the information, I should like to have the
dates of birth of both of them, also the names
of their beneficaries. They were both from
               Montville Connt.
    I never have written for information
on pensions before so do not know just
how to go about it, and will appreciate
your help & information very much.
                          Respectfully yours
