Sir:
I have to advise you that from the records of this Bureau it appears that Duncan Campbell was a Lieutenant in Colonel Livingston's New York Regiment in the War of the Revolution, and was wounded in his right leg in October 1777 in the battle of Bemis Heights.
He was allowed pension from September 4, 1794 on account of disability resulting from said wound. He died January 4, 1807.
There is no further data on file as to his services and no data as to his family, owing to the destruction of papers in such claims when the British burned Washington in 1814.
Respectfully,
WILDER S. METCALF. Commissioner.
