Madam:
I have to advise you that from the papers in Revolutionary War pension claim S.11780 it appears that Daniel Wing was born July 2, 1757, at Dartmouth, Plymouth County, Massachusetts. While a resident of White Creek, Albany County, New York, he enlisted in October 1780 as a private in Captain Adiel Sherwood's New York Company, was taken prisoner at Fort Ann October 10, 1780, and confined one year at Montreal, was then moved up the St. Lawrence River in October 1781 to Prisoners Island and kept until May 24, 1782, when he was exchanged and returned home.
He was allowed pension on his application executed October 12, 1832, while a resident of Clymer, Chautauqua County, New York. It is not stated whether he was married.
Owing to a lack of clerical force available for the purpose, only two reports are sent to each inquirer.
Respectfully,
Commissioner.
