He was allowed pension on account of disability resulting
from said wound.
In 1824, he was residing in Lebanon, Madison County,

Dr (Dear) Sir

Will you allow us to trouble you with the enclosed certificate of the marriage of James Campbell and Elizabeth Wylie.  Mrs. Elizabeth Campbell is the mother of Benjamin Campbell of this city and is an applicant for a five years pension under the act of July 7, 1838.   Some months since I forwarded the affidavits, Declaration & other papers which I supposed sufficient to bring her within the provisions of the act to which I received from the Officer of the Pension department the enclosed letter.  At the time of forwarding the papers alluded to I was informed that there was no record of the marriage but upon examination I find there was such a record of which the enclosed is a properly certified copy.  If you will take the trouble to present this matter to the Commissioner of Pensions and request its early attention you will confer upon the friends of the applicant and ourselves an important favor.

Madam:
I have to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W. 25393, it appears that James Campbell, while serving as a private in Captain Benjamin Hoppin's Company, Colonel John Topham's Rhode Island Regiment, was wounded in the leg at the battle of Rhode Island August 29, 1778, and was pensioned for the disability resulting from said wound. Dates of enlistment and discharge are not stated.
He married January 14, 1790, in Voluntown, Connecticut (at the house of Sarah Wylie) Elizabeth Wylie. He resided at Middlebury, Vermont, and moved thence to Lebanon, Madison County, New York, where he died September 7, 1827.
His widow, Elizabeth, was allowed pension on her application executed August 31, 1839, while living at Rochester, New York, aged seventy two years. In 1845 she was living in Raoine County, Wisconsin, with their son, James. A cop, Benjamin, was living in Rochester, New York, in 1840.
Respectfully,
Commissioner
