Daniel Anderson was commissioned 1st Lieutenant early in the Revolutionary War, served in that capacity in Captain William Scott's Pennsylvania company, and in the regiments of Colonel Irvine, Colonel Wayne, Colonel Proctor and Colonel Hartley; a part of the time was engaged in recruiting men at different stations, in 1777 in Bedford County, Pennsylvania; in that part of Cumberland County which later became Franklin County, Pennsylvania, and where the town of Mercersburg later stood, also recruited men for the battle of Brandywine, in which battle he was engaged, was also in several other actions on the western frontier, locations not designated.  He resigned after having served about five years, on account of illness.

Daniel Anderson was allowed pension on his application executed June 5, 1818, at which time he was aged sixty-one years and a resident of Athens County, Ohio.

On July 9, 1822, the soldier was still residing in Athens County, Ohio, at which time he gave his age as sixty-eight years with no explanation of the discrepancy.  He then refered to his wife aged sixty-five years, her name not given, and to his daughter, Rachel, aged fifteen years.  No other reference was made to children.

In 1819, on Mrs. Susannah Anderson made affidavit in Pickaway County, Ohio, in behalf of the soldier, Daniel Anderson, but did not state any relationship to him.

In order to obtain date of last payment of pension, the name and address of the person paid, and possibly the date of date of this soldier, you should write to the Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following:

[following in handwriting]
I did not use the date of death as Agency Book shows Aug. 16, 1820 [underlined], which must be an error as sol. made affidavit in July, 1922.

Dear Madam:
     Reference is made to your communication  in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Daniel Anderson, Lieutenant, 7" Regiment, Pennsylvania Line, who lived in Athens County, Ohio, in 1822; William Buck (#12751) who served from Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and later lived in Athens County, Ohio; also, of William Bodwell (#9334), probably from Massachusetts and in 1820 living in Athens County, Ohio.

     Because of the large number of requests for records of Revolutionary War soldiers, and the lack of a clerical force available for furnishing such information, it has been impossible to make a  series of investigations and reports pertaining to soldiers of that war, for one person.

      The records of Daniel Anderson and William Buck are furnished herewith.

                                                               Very truly yours
            

                                                               A. D. Hiller
