Dear Madam:
You are advised that it appears from the papers in
the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 35777, that Daniel
Barnet (the name also appears as Barnett ) enlisted in Frederick
Town, Maryland, sometime in 1777, exact date not
given, and served as a private in Captains Grosh's and
William Beatty's Companies, Colonel Gunby's Maryland Regiment.
He was in the battles of Brandywine, Germantown,
Monmouth and Gates' Defeat, where he was taken prisoner
and held until the end of the war.

He was allowed pension on his application executed
June 11, 1818, at which time he was aged about seventy
years and was a resident of Jessamine County, Kentucky.
The application was made in Woodford County, Kentucky.

In 1820, he referred to his wife, but did not give
her name, age or the date of their marriage and there is
no reference to children.

He died June 23, 1823.

Your reference to land granted in Kentucky to John
Nelson, a Revolutionary officer of Virginia, pertains to
land granted by the State of Virginia.

In order to identify the record of a particular soldier
of that name, if on file in this bureau, as much as
possible of the following data pertaining to him is essential:
approximate dates of birth and death, places of residence
at enlistment and after service and given name of
widow.

Very truly yours
E. W. MORGAN
