Dear Sir:
Please look carefully for records of pension of Daniel Cole.
I have a letter from Treasury Dept which states Daniel Cole was last paid pension in 1840 his certificate No 11505. Also a letter from Penn State Library that states, Daniel Cole was placed on pension role May 1833 for service with Virginia Militia. He lived in Fayette Co. Penn.
Now the D. A. R. will not accept this with out further proof.
Doesn't it seem strange that with all this information you cannot find records there.
