Sir:
I have to advise you, that from the papers in Revolutionary War pension claim W-2824, it appears that Truman Mallory (pers. sig) enlisted at Ripton, Fairfield County, Connecticut July 10, 1775 and served as a private in Colonel Charles Webb's Connecticut Regiment and was discharged December 21, 1775.
He enlisted in October 1777 and served twenty seven days as a corporal in Captain John Yeats' Company, Colonel Samuel Whiting's Regiment of Connecticut Militia.
He was appointed in October 1781, Ensign of the Seventh Company, Fourth Connecticut State Regiment.
He married Olive, maiden name not stated, July 23, 1783 and he died January 3, 1830.
His widow, the said Olive, was allowed pension on her application executed November 15, 1838 while residing in Crawford County, Pennsylvania, aged seventy-six years.
She died July 10, 1847.
There were no Conn. Troops engaged at the battle of Brandywine. However, they were too far away to get there. There is no evidence to credit either battle & the conflict was probably that of Red Bank where the loss was up to 1,175 as a result of a bombardment in 1777. While the British who maintained the battle line gave it as Red Bank.

They had the following children as shown by the town records of Montgomery, Hampden County, Massachusetts:
 Zalman...born .....February 10.1784  ✓ Sally....." .....December 12, 1786, wife of Eliab Metcalf. in that year  ✓ Sophia " .....January 13, 1789, wife of John Williams.  ✓ Olive " .....October 26, 1790, wife of Russell Smith.  ✓ Polly " .....September 16, 1794, wife of Harvey Patridge.
