Madam:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 35466, it appears that Richard Jacques enlisted in Methuen, Massachusetts January 1, 1776 and served as a private in Captain James Norris' Company, Colonel Enoch Poor's Regiment and was wounded at Ticonderoga, and was taken to the hospital at Lake George, from where he was discharged in December 1776.
He was allowed pension on his application executed May 1, 1818 at which time he was living at Castine, Hancock County, Maine, aged sixty-two years.
In 1820 he referred to his wife, but did not state her name, and at the same time he stated that Mary Jacques, aged sixty-six years was residing in his family.
There are no further family data.
The Revolutionary War records of this bureau fail to afford any information in regard to Joshua Morse.
Respectfully,
E. W. MORGAN, Acting Commissioner.
