Re: Identity of Daniel Howe (How) of Tyringham,
      Massachusetts, Revolutionary War Soldier.
------------------------------------------------
Bureau of Pensions,
Gentlemen:
     It is desired to learn the name or names of one or both of the parents of this Daniel Howe of Tyringham, Mass.
   Did this Daniel Howe or his wife receive a pension.
   His service record as give in "Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors in the War of the Revolution," Vol. VIII, p. 329, is as follows:
     "How. Daniel, Tyringham (also given Arundel), Order on Maj. Barber, payable to Lieut. John Chadwick: also, Private, Joseph Strebben's Co., Col. Jonathan Brewer's regt; muster Roll Aug.1 1775 enlisted May 12 1775; service, 81 days; also, Company return (probably Oct., 1775); also, order of bounty cost or its equivalent in money dated Prospect Hill, Oct. 26 1775; also, return of men raised for Continental service probably from Capt. Harick's (Herrick's) co; residence, Tyringham; engaged for town of Tyringham; joined Capt. Chadwick's co., Col. Brewer's regt.; term, 3 years; also, list of men mustered between Jan. 20 1777 and June 1, 1778 by Trueman Wheeler, Muster Master for Berkshire Co.; Capt. Stone's co.; also Sergeant, Capt. Mean's co.; Col. Ebeneser Sprout's regt.; Continental Army pay accounts for service from Jan. 1, 1777, to Sept. 14, 1779; reported discharged Sept. 14 1779; also, Capt. John Chadwick's co., Col. Brewer's regt.; returns dated Jan. 22 1778; residence, Arundel; enlisted for town of Tyringham, mustered by Muster Master Wheeler; reported sick at Tyringham."

     It is surmised, but no proof has been found, that this Daniel Howe was the son of Daniel and Ann (Bronson) Howe, born 4 Oct. 1741 at Waterbury, Conn. and that his wife's name was Damaris (Dutton) Howe.

     Does his pension or other record give any of these data.

                                                                      Respectfully
                                                                  [signature of J. Albert Holmes]
                                                                  J. Albert Holmes

Mr. J. Albert Holmes
28 Billingham Street
Somerville, Massachusetts

Dear Sir:

     Reference is made to your request for information in regard to Daniel Howe, a Revolutionary War soldier from Tyringham, Massachusetts.

     The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, S.39729, based upon the military service of Daniel How (he signed as How).

     He enlisted in Tyringham, Massachusetts, in April 1775, in Captain Stebbin's company in Colonel Brewer's Massachusetts regiment and was discharged January 1, 1776. He enlisted in December, 1776, in Captain John Chadwick's company in Colonel Samuel Brewer's Massachusetts regiment, was in the battle of Hubbardton and at the surrender of Burgoyne and was discharged September 14, 1779.

     He was allowed pension on his application executed June 2, 1818, at which time he was seventy-six years of age and was living in Westford, Chittenden County, Vermont.

     Daniel How died October 21, 1819. [line from Daniel to written script "See A, B."]

     No one applied for pension as the widow of this soldier.

     The names of the soldier's parents were not given and there were no data given relative to wife or children.

Very truly yours
