Stamped env. noted
My ancestor's name was Moses Marshall, of Essex, Mass. He was a private soldier in the 3 d Essex Co. Mass. Regt. (See record of service Vol I, Page 263, Mass. Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolutionary war) He was dis- charged Dec 4-1780. Married Hannah Abbot 1781, died June 1, 1830

family tradition says his wife, Hannah Abote Marshall drew a pension for "many years" - number not stated. She died July 1854 in Essex Mass, which was the birthplace and had always been the home of both these ancestors.
I have not - the date of Moses Marshall's birth. If your records have this date will you kindly note it - also?
If you can furnish me the two facts, a statement that Hannah Abote Marshall was a pensioner, and number of years, and date of Moses Marshall's birth I will esteem it a favor and if there are any charges for the service I will gladly pay them -
