Dear Madam: 
The data which follow were obtained from papers in pension

Daniel Gallusha was born in Norton, Bristol County, Massachusetts, the date of his birth and names of his parents are not shown. The name is also shown as Galucia, Galushia, Gallucia and Galencia.
While residing in Lynn, Essex County, Massachusetts, Daniel
Gallusha entered the service in 1775, served as lieutenant in Captain [illegible] Lindsey's Massachusetts company and as captain in
Colonel Ruggles Woodbridge's Massachusetts regiment, length of
service eight months.
He died December 10, 1825, in Lynn, Massachusetts.
Daniel Gallusha married July 26, 1812, in Lynn, Massachusetts,
Eliza or Elizabeth Thomas. They were both of Lynn. This was his fourth marriage; the names of his other wives are not shown. The date and place of birth of Elizabeth and names of her parents are not shown. At the time of this marriage Daniel Galusha was aged seventy years.
Daniel Gallusha's widow, Elizabeth, was allowed pension on her application executed December 31, 1853, at which time she was
residing in Lynn, Massachusetts and gave her age as sixty-six years.
May 12, 1855, still a resident of Lynn, Massachusetts, Elizabeth
Gallusha, applied for the bounty land which was due on account of
the service of her husband, Daniel Gallusha, in the Revolutionary War
On this application she was granted bounty land warrant #19830,
for one hundred sixty acres under the Act of March 3, 1855.

The names of children of Daniel and Elizabeth Gallusha are shown as follow:

Lucianna Gallusha was born December 29, 1812

Dear Madam
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the
Revolutionary War record of Squire Allen (2), of 
Massachusetts or Rhode Island, Joseph Allen of Rehoboth or Barrington, and that of Daniel Galusha of Vermont.

There is no claim for pension on file based upon service
in the Revolutionary War of a Squire Allen, nor of a Daniel
Galusha of Vermont. The pension record of only one soldier with the name Daniel Galusha (variously spelled) has been found; his record and that of Joseph Allen are furnished you herewith.
