The Pension Bureau, Washington, D. C. Rev. W.
I am trying to establish service of Nathaniel Burbank in the Revolutionary War.
Nathaniel was born in 1747 at Bosconen, N. H. and after his marriage to Mary Turgin resided in Danbarnton N. H. He was in Walden Vermont before 1800 and died there.
There are several Nathaniels mentioned in the N. H. Rev. Records.
Vol. 4, Page 67. Gives Nathaniel Burke a member of Capt. David Woodwards Company of Rangers for N. H. as a pensioner. - Could this be the right Nathaniel Burbank?

Have you record of a Nathaniel Burbank of Walden Vermont as a pensioner?
Yours truly,
Lucy J. Newcomb.
