Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter of October 28, 1935, requesting the Revolutionary War record of Joseph Philbrick Marston.
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, S. 29974, based upon the military service of Joseph P. Marston.
He was born in 1762 in Brentwood, New Hampshire. The names of his parents were not given.
He moved to Deerfield, New Hampshire, in 1774 and enlisted in June, 1779, and served six months as private in Captain Runals' company in Colonel Mooney's New Hampshire regiment. He enlisted in July, 1780, and served three months as private in Captain Henry Butler's company in Colonel Bartlett's New Hampshire regiment.
About 1792 he moved to what was later Fayette, Maine, and about 1831 he moved to Turner, Oxford County, Maine.
He was allowed pension on his application executed August 14, 1832, at which time he was living in Turner, Maine.
This soldier died April 8, 1844.
The papers in this claim contain no data relative to the soldier's family.
