Madam:
I have to advise that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim S.26886, it appears that David Wandle or Wendell was born December 22, 1759.
He enlisted in February 1777 and served in James Broderick's Company, Colonel Oliver Spenser's New York Regiment, was in the battle of Germantown, where he was wounded in his right wrist, which resulted in amputation of arm above the elbow.
He was allowed pension from July 7, 1786, on account of the disability resulting from said wound, at which time he was living in Goshen, Orange County, New York.
Soldier married February 25, 1784, wife's name not on record. He died September 16, 1825 in Ogden, Monroe County, New York, and his widow died in 1839.
In 1857, son Jesse is mentioned.
There is no further family data on file.
Respectfully,
Commissioner.

To the commissioner of pensions in your letter within was not an answer with regard to the claims of David Wandel as I wrote to you of but of Isaac Wandel there is an act entitling the widow to the half pay, pension of her hu- band to which I had particular reference under this act I claim a pension which has not been not applied for nor obtained 13 yrs and 8 months as being due David Wandels widow also the bounty land of the above pensioner has never been drawn which would come in the 70th State military grant as he enlisted in that state There has been a number of patents obtained by a man of the name of S B Powell Livingston Co. N.Y. I also authorized him to obtain this I have not heard anything from him since yours D C April 15 th 1857 Isaac Wandel

Pension Office, April 8. 1837.
Sir,
In reply to your letter of the 14 th ult. you are informed that there is no law or regulation under which children of revolutionary pensioners are entitled to pensions in their own right; and that Isaac Wandell's pension has been paid in full to the day of his death, Nov r 5. 1828. There are, therefore, no arrears due which can be claimed by his children — who have no claim of any description upon the Government.
Very respectfully, &c. W m G. Chitling Commissioner.
