To the
Commissioner of Pensions,
Washington, D.C.
Dear Sir:-
Will you kindly give me the
record of the military service of
Daniel Marshall once a resident
of Murfreesboro, Tenn. I believe he
moved to Tenn. in the Early 30's previous to 1832.

I am told that he gave his services in the War of the Revolution and put in a claim for
the same, which was rejected because
his death occurred before the pension
act became effective.
What I wish to get is a verification
the fact that he served in that War.
He is my great-grandfather, and
because of that I have aspirations as a
member of the D. A. R.
a speedy answer will be most
gratefully received
Yours respectfully,
Mrs. Bettie Marshall Whitely
