I write to see if
an ancestor, David Ogden, drew a
pension for his services in the
war of the [underlined] Revolution and of 1812.
and if so to ask for an official
record of his service.

David Ogden was born in
Dutchese Co. N. Y. in 1764, served
during the Revolution was captured
and held prisoner by the Indians
He made his escape and
settled in Delaware Co. N. Y. where
he died when about 80 years
of age.  His wife's name, I think,
Page 39

was Susannah.  He served
also in the war of 1812 under
Col. Stranahan of Cooperstown
New York.

His father David or possibly
John Ogden, served in the
Revolution, and was an orderly
sergeant in 1779.  There is little
known concerning him.  Please
reply as soon as convenient, and
give me all the information
you have concerning these men.
