DAVID YOUNGLOVE Dis. BA-J/MHHP:MLB
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of David Younglove, of Herkimer County, New York, who died at German Flats, in 1797, having received a pension.
In the Report of the Secretary of War printed in 1835 in regard to the pension establishment, the name David Younglove is borne on the list of Invalid Pensioners whose names have been inscribed on the pension roll of the New York Agency, whose residences and other information called for by a resolution of the Senate could not be ascertained in consequence of the destruction of papers in his application for pension when the War Office was burned in 1800.
That report shows that he served as a private in the Revolutionary Army, received a pension of $36 per annum, which pension was paid for disability incurred in service, and that he died in 1797.
This office has no further information in regard to this David Younglove, because of the loss of the papers by fire, as stated above, nor has it any information in regard to any other soldier of that name in the Revolutionary War.
It is suggested that information in regard to his military service might be obtained from the Adjutant General, War Department, this city.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER Executive Assistant to the Administrator
