Friend Davenport—
I am looking up chronology again & want a little aid which I presume you can easily furnish from the Records, David Himboll was my grandfather and was a soldier in the Revolutionary war a long time; was present at the Execution of Major Andre— and I think he wintered at Valley Forge that awful winter.
He was a pensioner at $44 a month all the time I knew him— on the Concord N.H. Roll— he died about 1845 at Nelson N.H. He probably enlisted at Oxford Mass, as he came from there to Nelson right after the war. Now I want to know his service — Co. & Regt. &c. He always went by the name Major Himboll but I don't know when he got the title. I presume his name is on the old Concord Gen. Rolls and easily found. Please investigate & report.
Respectfully
Silas Hardy
