I have to advise you that from the papers in Revolutionary War pension claim S.37602 it appears that Isaac Larrabee enlisted May 1, 1775, and served as a private in Captain Tyler's Company, Colonel Edmund Phinney's Massachusetts Regiment until discharged January 1, 1777. He was allowed pension on his application executed May 22, 1818, while a resident of Baldwin, Cumberland County, Maine, aged 64 years.
In 1820 he referred to his wife, Sally, aged 60 years, and a daughter, Jane, aged 20 years. There is no further data as to family.
