He was allowed pension from March 4, 1793, on account of disability resulting from said wound, while residing in Connecticut.
In December 1826, he was living in Oneida County, New York, where he had moved for the benefit of his family, names not stated. There is no data on file as to his family..

Hon. Secretary of War.
Agrable to your directions search has been made for the document on which the invalid pensioner Thomas Parnell has formerly drawn his pension and none can be found as you may see by by the enclosed letter of J. Now his former agent. The old pensioner says that he never had a formal certificate from the war department but that there was something like a certificate signed by individuals appointed for that purpose but this nor any thing of the kind can be found. He rec d . his pension up to March 4. 1823 & now wishes if you are satisfied of the justice of his claim to receive a certificate payable from the above date & to be placed on the books at N. York-
Respectfully Yours &c Orrin Gridley
AB I also enclose the papers made out as they formerly have to receive his pension that you may see the degree of his disability - the old gentleman is very misinformed & feels anxious to know the result of his application I assure if ever our country produced a soldier he was one among its best & I most sincerely believe he deserves all he asks. In haste O. Gridley
