David Corson- S.22696
Hugh Montgomery-R.7493
Mrs. F.D. Corson 12 Brewster Road Framingham, Massachusetts
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to Bildad Andros, Hugh Montgomery and David Corson, soldiers of the Revolutionary War.
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 of that war.
A careful search of the Revolutionary War records has been made in your behalf and no record found of such claims having been made on account of the services of Bildad Andros, or similar spelling. The histories of David Corson and Hugh Montgomery are given below as found in the papers on file in claims for pension, S.22696, and R. 7493, based upon the services of those soldiers in the War of the Revolution.
David Corson was born January 9, 1761, in Rochester, New Hampshire.
While residing in said Rochester, he enlisted in the summer of 1778, and served one month as a private in Captain William Duffee's New Hampshire Company.
On October or November, 1778, he entered on board the U.S.S. "Ranger", Captain Thomas Simpson, and served as a seaman; while on a cruise, they captured eight British vessels, and returned to Portsmouth, the last of April, 1779; in June, 1780, he entered on board the "Julius Ceasar", Captain Nathaniel Bentley; during this cruise they captured two British ships and returned the last of September, 1780.
David Corson was allowed pension on his application executed

September 14, 1832, while residing in Milton, Strafford County, New Hampshire.
There are no data as to family of David Corson.
* * * * *
Hugh Montgomery was born about the year 1749, place not stated. His father and grandfather were both named Hugh and lived in Londonderry, New Hampshire, where the grandfather died, date not given. Soldier's father, Hugh Montgomery, moved to Londonderry, Vermont, in 1775, and died there in 1792. It was stated that he did not serve in the Revolution. The name of soldier's mother is not given.
In 1779, the soldier, Hugh Montgomery, also settled in Londonderry, Vermont. He afterward lived near Manchester, Vermont; then moved to the western part of New York.
He married in May, 1777, in Londonderry, Vermont, Hannah Mack. She was born February 23, 1756, and was a resident of Londonderry, Vermont, at the time of her marriage.
Hugh Montgomery died May 13 or May 27, 1819 (both dates appear in the claim) at his residence in Cayuga County, New York.
On August 28, 1851, soldier's widow, Hannah, then a resident of Darien, Genesee County, New York, applied for the pension that might have been due on account of the services of her husband, Hugh Montgomery, and alleged that her said husband served in the years 1775 and 1776, as a private under Captains George Reid and Samuel McCoomb (probably meant for Samuel McConnell), Colonels John Stark and Daniel Moore in the New Hampshire Troops; that he also served at least two tours in the Vermont Troops, dates and officers names not given; and that his entire service was between two and three years.
Her claim was not allowed as she failed to furnish proof of six months service as was required by the pension laws.
She died May 30, 1853.

Hugh and Hannah Montgomery had ten children as follows:
Robert born July 28, 1778, and died in the summer of 1822, in Darien, New York. Joseph " May 3, 1780, in Londonderry, Vermont, and in 1853, was living in Darien, New York. Patty date not given, married -----Olds. Hugh " " " Henry " " " Martin " " " John " " ", died when about two years old. James " " " William " " " John " " "
In 1853, the only surviving children were Joseph, Hugh and William Montgomery and Patty Olds. The places of residence of the last three above named are not given.
In 1851, Hugh A. Montgomery, a son of Robert Montgomery, and grandson of the soldier, Hugh Montgomery, made affidavit in Jefferson County, New York.
The soldier had five brothers, all of whom but the youngest, were said to have served in the Revolutionary War. Their names are not stated. Soldier's sister, Margaret Montgomery, was born June 12, 1763, in Londonderry, New Hampshire, and married ----- Mack, an "own" cousin of the widow, Hannah Mack Montgomery. Margaret Mack was residing in Pamela, Jefferson County, New York, in 1851.
John Mack, a brother of the widow, Hannah Mack Montgomery, served with the soldier in the Revolutionary War. There is no claim for pension on file on account of the services of a John Mack.
The above is the history of the only soldier named Hugh Montgomery, who served with the New Hampshire Troops, that is found on the Revolutionary War records of this office.
Very truly yours

Sir,
The additional evidence in the case Hannah Montgomery widow of Hugh of Vermont, has been received and filed with the original application.
The Declaration has not been made in open Court. But the chief difficulty existing to the admission of this claim, is the identifying of Hannah's husband with the Hugh whose services are described in the Certificate of the Secretary of State of New Hampshire.

A. Ely Esq Watertown N.Y.
Sir: The application of Hannah Montgomery under the Act of July 7 1838 is not sustained by proof. It appears that one Hugh Montgomery performed certain services in New Hampshire but who this Hugh Montgomery was or what relation he bore to her husband is not shown. This can only be done by those who served with him or occupied such a position, at least as made them familiar with the service.
Very, etc.
