John J. Palmer Baldwinsville, New York,
Sir:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W. 7983, it appears that William King, son of William King, enlisted, in Hatfield, Massachusetts, in May, 1777, served as a private in Captain William Ellis' Company, Colonel A. Scammel's New Hampshire Regiment, was in the battle of Stillwater, and was discharged in October, 1777.
He enlisted in 1779, and served nine months in Captain Josiah Smith's Company, Colonel Thomas Marshall's Massachusetts Regiment.
He enlisted in February or March, 1781, and served until the close of the war in Captain Nathan Dix's Company, Colonel Michael Jackson's Massachusetts Regiment.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 9, 1818, while a resident of Newfane, Windham County, Vermont.
In 1820, soldier was fifty-eight years of age, and

then referred to his eldest son, Ransom (name of his mother not stated), eldest daughter, Lydia, youngest son, William, and his youngest, Louise, aged nineteen, fifteen, twelve and seven years, respectively.
Soldier died September 19 or December 19, 1840, in Newfane, Vermont.
Soldier married, December 29, 1803, at Newfane, Vermont, Catherine or Caty Morse, both were then of Newfane. She was allowed pension on her application executed June 7, 1853, while a resident of Marlboro District, Windham County, Vermont, aged eighty years.
This is the history of the only soldier named William King, of New Hampshire, found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau, and said records fail to afford any information in regard to any Ezra King.
Respectfully,
E. W. MORGAN Acting Commissioner.
