That on or about the first day of May one thousand seven hundred and eighty one he again enlisted for three years inn Captain Woody Duston’s Company in Colonel Henry Dearborn’s regiment in the New Hampshire Line, that he enlisted at Cornish in the State of New Hampshire, and continues in the said corp or in the service of the United States from the time of his last enlistment until the termination of the revolutionary war, when on finding a substitute to serve for the remainder of this time he was duly and honorably discharged from the service of the United States at West Point in the State of New York by Major General Knox that a torn & mutated part only of this discharge is now in existence that the most material part containing the signature and dates of such discharge is now lost and destroyed and that he had no other evidence now in his power of his said services - And the said David Haskell did further declare upon oath before me that between one and two years since [illegible] in the said County and State he purchased ninety - two acres of wild and uncultivated Land for which he has paid about four hundred and eighty three dollars - That he is also possessed of certain personal property consisting of cattle horses forming [illegible] and some [illegible] and also dowry debts all which he substantiates to be [illegible] one thousand dollars - That being unable to labor himself he has lately contracted to pay two hundred and sixty four dollars for the clearing of twenty two acres of said land - That his wife has been for a long time and still is in a very delicate state of health & unable to do any kind of labor - That he has five unmarried daughters residing with him the youngest of whom is about thirteen years of age

Mr. Horace W. Raymond.
707 South Ave.
Schenectady, N.Y.
Sir: In response to your letters of December 30, 1926 and February 11, 1927, you are advised that owing to the great pressure of current work, the large number of similar in-quiries and the lack of a clerical force available for such a purpose, it is not possible to take up inquiries relative to soldiers of the Revolution for immediate consideration. They are answered in the order of their receipt, as rapidly as possible by the courtesy of the government, without fee and your first letter would have been reached in its turn about February 17, 1927. The Revolutionary War records of this bureau are com-posed of claims for pension and bounty land, only. A care-ful search of said records fails to show such claims on file on account of the services of Daniel Putnam, born 1739, died 1809, and married in 1761, Anne Chase, or on account of the Honourable Samuel Chase of Sutton, Massachusetts and Cornish. New Hampshire, the father of the above noted Anne Chase.

[handwriting, top right]: we did not correspond directly with this man but he must have received record [illegible] Mar 7. 1919 to W. G. Ray
You state that you received about March 17, 1919, the records of the Revolutionary War pensioners, David Haskell and his widow Mary, W. 7650. This David Haskell is the only person of that name, under any spelling, found in the [smudged] records of this bureau. By reference to the record furnished from the bureau, you will see that in 1818, he referred to his wife and five unmarried daughters, but did not state their names, and that in 1826 he married Mary More, who was allowed pension as his widow. Respectfully, WINFIELD SCOTT, Commissioner.

From the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, Widow File No. 7,650. it appears that David Haskell enlisted at Rox-bury, Massachusetts, April 23, 1775 and served as a private for nine months, in Captain Nathaniel Healey's Company, Colonel Eb-eneser Learned's Massachusetts Regiment. On May 1, 1776, he enlisted in Muddy Brook Parish, Connecticut, and served for six months, in Captain Stephens Lyon's Company, Colonel Chester's Connecticut Regiment. On January 1, 1777, he enlisted at Dudley, Massachusetts, and served three months in Captain Samuel Carter's Company, Colonel Whitney's Massachusetts Regiment. On May 1, 1781, he enlisted at Cornish, New Hampshire, and served until the end of the Revolution, in Captain Moody Dustin's Com-pany, Colonel Henry Dearborn's New Hampshire Regiment. He was allowed pension on his application executed June 2, 1818, while living at Madrid, St. Lawrence County, New York, aged about sixty-three years, and he then referred to his wife and five unmarried daughters, but did not state their names. He married at Madrid, New York, August 10, 1826 Mary More

Dear Sir:

Will you kindly tell me whether David Haskell, a pensioner of the Revolutionary War, filed a marriage  record when he applied for Pension? Or if he filed a record of the place of birth, and ancestry?

He enlisted first from Roxbury Mass, later from Stony  Brook, Conn, and still latter from New Hampshire.

He applied and received pension at Madrid N.Y.

Dear Sir:

Can you tell me how to find the Revolution record of David Haskell, who lies buried at Madrid, N.Y.? His tombstone does not have the day of his birth and death on it but says that he fought in the Revolutionary war. If he drew a pension the record is doubtless on file in your office.

I am inclosing stamp trusting that you can give me an answer. Mr. Haskell probably died before 1820 or about that time.

Yours very truly,
WG Roy
