Mr. Albert S. Bryant North Leeds Maine
Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information regarding to David Paul and David House, soldiers of the War of the Revolution.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims made to the United States for pension and bounty land, based upon military service of soldiers in that war. A search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the services of David House.
The data which follow were obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, S. 37279, based upon the Revolutionary War service of David Paul.
David Paul was born in New Gloucester, District of Maine, date not given, nor are the names of his parents stated.
He enlisted in December, 1781 and served as a private in Captain Watson's company, Colonel Henry Jackson's Massachusetts regiment, and was discharged in December, 1783.
He was allowed pension on his application executed, April 11, 1818, then aged fifty-six years and living in Lewiston, Lincoln County, District of Maine.
In 1820, he referred to his wife, Lucy, aged fifty-four years; his daughter, Martia or Marcia, aged fifteen years; and his granddaughter, Juricia Brown,

aged seven years. In 1823 his son, Daniel, was aged thirty-three years.
In 1826, the soldier, David Paul, was living in Lewiston, Maine, with one of his daughters, her name not showed. He then stated that he served "upwards of two years in the last war and ten months a prisoner".
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, the name and address to whom sent and possibly the date of death of this pensioner, you should apply to The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, Washington, D. C., citing all of the following data-

I well know his circumstances - in consequence of his receiving money from government purchase of some of land & erecting a small house thereon and paid a part for the same. And in consequence of his pension being stoped he has been sued & been obliged to dispose of the house & land, which has placed him in the same situation he was before destitute of any property not even a cow & considerably in debt, and must soon be supported by the town, unless he should again be placed on the pension list. - He is in reality in indigent circumstances and really deserves the rate of government.

I Dan Read of Lewiston in the County of Lincoln State of Maine aged Sixty years do upon Oath declare that I well know David Paul of said Lewiston a pensioner on the Maine Roll under the law of Congress of March 18. 1818. - The said Paul is to my knowledge a very poor man and wholly destitute of property and at the present time lives with one of his Daughters. - The land mentioned in his first schedule he relinquished to his son, other property was taken to pay old debts contracted before he was placed on the pension Roll. - The said Paul, has lived a number of years past under the expectation of again receiving his pension, and has contracted a number of small debts. - He is an honest industrious man, and is now nearly past labor, from age and infirmities - his children are not able to support him & his wife, I have been expecting they would make application to the Town for help, and they unavoidably must be supported by the town if he does not again receive his pension soon if they should live. - I have been at a loss to know the reason of his being stricken from the Pension as he is as poor a man as about any one to my knowledge, and more deserving a Pension than any other man within my knowledge, (if honesty and poverty and serving his country in the last as well as the first war, and a prisoner in the last at Halifax, nearly a year deserves a pension) -
