Mrs. E. F. Perry, 148 Grove St., Putnam, Conn.
Madam;
I have to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 41059, it appears that Daniel Perry enlisted in May 1775 and served eight months as a private in Captain Jones' Company, Colonel Doolittle's Massachusetts Regiment.
He enlisted in the winter or spring of 1777 and was a private in Captains John Peirce's and Gates' Companies, Colonel Timothy Bigelow's Massachusetts Regiment, he was in the battle at the capture of Burgoyne and in the battle of Monmouth and served three  three years years. He was allowed pension on his application executed April 22, 1818, while a resident of New Fane, Windham County, Vermont, aged seventy-three years.
I did not use R.S. Exh. under Genl. Sullivan as that was in 1778 & is covered by his 3 yrs. service act. awz.

In 1820, soldier referred to his son-in-law, but did not state his name. There is no further family data on file.
The above noted Daniel Perry is the only soldier by that name found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau.
Respectfully,
Commissioner.
