The records of the town of Woodbury, Conn. show that Daniel Hurd was a Revolutionary Soldier from that town.

There were two Daniel Hurd's in that town: One born in 1723, who had three wives, Experience, Aner and Dorcas, and his son, born in 1758, whose wife's name was Lucinda. About 1781 both are supposed to have removed to Tinmouth, Rutland Co., Vermont.

Which of these men was a Revolutionary Soldier, I do not know.

Justices of the Peace of the said County, Thomas Hurd, a resident of Orange County and State aforesaid, who being duly sworn according to law, doth depose and say, that he has resided in
said town of Orange, for the space of Thirty Four years that he will be of the age of Eighty three years on the tenth day of September next according to his best knowledge and belief and that he is a brother to the late Daniel Hurd, of Timmouth Vermont who died on or about the first day of January 1826, and this deponent further says that his brother, Daniel Hand was a Sergeant and served as such in the army in the time of the revolutionary war to the personal knowledge of this deponent. And this deponent states, in positive terms, that he was present when his brother was chosen, or appointed to the said office of Sergeant, and that he saw him in the service of the United States when the army lay at Hubbardton in the State of Vermont, and that he belonged
to the company commanded by Lieutenant Abner Hurd.

And this deponent further says that he has made an affidavit before in relation to this claim but did not state all the particulars, because he was not questioned concerning them; and that he has no interest in the fate of said claim And further this deponent saith not, except the maiden name of his brother Daniels wife was Lucinda Hamilton

Dear Sir
Will you kindly tell me what data the records of your office show concerning the military service in the Revolutionary of Daniel Hurd, who enlisted I think in Connecticut - and Amos Chappell, also in Connecticut. I am under the impression that the latter died in the war so 
that any pension, having reference to his military service, would probably stand in the name of his widow, or children
Yours truly, L. G. Hurd

Gentlemen:-
I am desirous of learning the war records of the following named Revolutionary Soldiers who were ancestors of mine, and am told that much interesting history can be obtained from the pension office, if the soldiers were Pensioners.

Daniel Hurd Sr. and Daniel his son, both born at Woodbury, Conn. the family moved to
Sandgate Vt. before the war Daniel Jr. later lived at Tinmouth, Vt. so he may have enlisted at Tinmouth, but they were both soldiers.

Elisha Hamilton, of Brookfield Mass, I think he enlisted for short periods several times during the war at both Brookfield and Tinmouth, Vt.

Thanking you for any information you may be able to furnish me, I am

Yours very truly,

Dear Sir
I find a letter of yours dated May 18. 1847, which appears same how to
have remained unanswered & hasten to answer it.

The enclosed certificate is all I can do for you. There were two Daniel Hurds distinguished as Sergt Daniel Hurd & Daniel Hurd 2d. Their services in no way clash and identity must be made out by evidence not of record.

Anything else I can do for you shall be done. If you wish any change of certificate do me the favor to enclose the old one to me.
Yours truly
