That he the said Wyman Parker enlisted in the month of April or May (as he believes, but does not distinctly recollect) in the year 1775 in the Town of Hebron in the county of Hartford and State of Connecticut into the company commanded by Captain Levi Wells of Colchester in New London county in said State belonging to the Regiment (the number of which the said Wyman Parker does not distinctly recollect) commanded by Colonel Spencer, (his place of residence the said Parker does not now recollect) belonging to the Connecticut State line, that he enlisted into said corps for the term of seven months - and served out the period of his enlistment, and was discharged by the said Captain Wells, together with the rest of the company in the month of November in the year last aforesaid at Roxbury in the vicinity of Boston in the commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Said regiment belonging to the Connecticut State line. That he enlisted into said corps for the term of six months, and served out the period of his enlistment, and was discharged in the month of December in the year last aforesaid, when the said company was disbanded.
And the said Wyman Parker doth further declare under oath

That he the said Wyman Parker enlisted as a private soldier into the continental army, some time in the year 1777, (the particular month in the year the said Parker does not recollect) in the Town of Weathersfield aforesaid into the company commanded by captain Edward Buckley belonging to the regiment (the number of which the said Parker does not recollect) commanded by colonel Samuel B. Webb of the said Town of Weathersfield in the Brigade under the command of General Varnum from Rhode Island, in the Connecticut State line. that he enlisted in said caps to serve during the war and continued to serve therein until a few months afterwards when he was transferred to captain Thomas Wooster's company of Grenadiers, that he served as a sergeant in that company after the battle of Rhode Island, that he was taken from the regiment at Morristown in New Jersey to serve as a steward to General Nathaniel Greene and went with him to South Carolina. & remained there not quite one year, and joined the regiment at Newburgh in Orange county (being sent by General Greene to General Washington with dispatches) and was then transferred to captain Allen's company in the said Samuel B.

Res sec 1721
I am writing for information con- cerning Capt. Nyman  Parker who fought in the Revolutionary war. My uncle Parker was born in Tillingly Connecticut and enlisted as a private in 1775 and served during the entire war, residing at the time in Hebron Conn.

was promoted Corporal in May 1778 and Sergeant Oct 1778 to Dec 1781.
Have you any record as to where he was made Captain?
According to Adjutant General's report of Hartford Conn. Myron Parker was a Connecticut pensioner in 1818, then residing in Franklin New York If so - What was his rank as a pensioner?
An early reply will be greatly appreciated.
Most Respectfully Yours
