Madam:
I have to advise you, that from the records it appears that Job Lane of Bedford, Mass. served as a Private in Colonels F. Brooks and Green's Mass. Regiments, War of Revolution. He was wounded on April 19, 1775, near Concord, by a musket ball which entered his right side below the short ribs and remained lodged in his hip. He was also wounded in the left side by a musket ball, at the battle of Bunker Hill. He was allowed pension on account of the disability resulting from said wounds. He died April 20, 1796. There is no data on file as to family.
There are no papers on file for this pensioner owing to the destruction of the same when the War Office was burned in November 1800.
Respectfully,
Wilder S. Metcalf
WILDER S. METCALF, Commissioner.
The 1835 list says pension commenced Mar 4, 1796 - & the application of Dec 1792 says Oct 15, 1792
