Dear Sirs:-
Can you give me any information in regard to the Revolutionary war record of a Solomon York, of Sedgwick, Maine, who received a pension certificate in August or September, 1833. From his papers I learn, that he served as a sailor during the war, between 1780 and 1782, probably from Maine ports.
I am also anxious to learn where, and when born, if so stated. His father, Benjamin York of Machias, Maine,
was also in the Revolution, and received a commission as commander of the Armed boat Speedwell, in Oct 24, 1780.
This commission was dated at Camp Wambden (Maine) and signed by T. M. Ulmer, Major Commander. Benjamin York never received a pension, as he died in 1818, but I am trying to learn where and when he was born, and whom his parents were. Can you advise me of any information that might exist among your records? Respectfully yours,
