The Applicant for this pension is a Frenchman, and it is with great difficulty he can be understood, hence the probable and by the person who wrote the declaration in stating the name of Gen. Eutill when it should have been Col Hazer for this is the Officer
under whom the claimant served and wrote the certificate dated the 9th of April 1819 [illegible] and the mistake stated [illegible] of Col Eutill and a Col. Hazer arose no doubt from the want of a proper comprehension of the claimant.

Sirs

My great, great, Grandfather Antoine Dupelle received a pension after being mustered out at the end of the revolution.

The Washington records show that he served in Congress' own regiment Col Moses Hazen - Brevet Brig Gen'l and that he received a pension for two years actual service, fighting in several battles among them Brandywine.

He enlisted at Yorktown, Oct 15, 1781.

I wish to enter the sons of the Revolutionary and would ask that you send me a statement verifying the facts herein set forth also that you let me know the date of his birth and death and his residence after being mustered out and any other data which may assist m; if possible the dates of his children's births and deaths and marriages.
Page 19

any information you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

I am

Dear Sir

In the absence of documentary evidence, we are compelled to resort to tradition which is the case in regard to one Antoine Dupelle Private in Captain Gosslins company of Colonel Hazen's regiment, revolutionary war. He enlisted October 15, 1781, to serve during the war and his name is last borne without remark on a roll not dated of persons in Congress's own regiment commanded by Colonel Moses Hazen, Brig. General by Brevet in service of the United States 1783. The great grandchildren of this soldier
Page 21

the only descendants now living believe he was in receipt of a pension from the U.S. having heard the same from some of the older members of the family - his name and designation as included in this statement has just been obtained from the War Department (May 19, 1898).

You will greatly oblige me and other relatives by causing the records in your office to be examined and kindly send the result of the examination to

Yours Very Respectfully
