ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL S. 12448 Am BA-J/MLB
Dear Madam:
You are furnished herein the record of Archibald Campbell as found in the papers on file in pension claim, S. 12448, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
Archibald Campbell was born February 16, 1760, in Voluntown, Windham County, Connecticut. The names of his parents were not given.
While residing in Voluntown, Connecticut, Archibald Campbell enlisted about June 1, 1777, and served one month as private in Captain Campbell's company (relationship not stated), Colonel Ledyard's Connecticut regiment, stationed at Groton. He enlisted sometime in July, of the same year, and served six months as private in Captain Joshua Dunlap's company, Colonel Moseley's or Ledyard's Connecticut regiment, again stationed at Groton, Connecticut. He enlisted in December, 1778, and served three months as private in Captain Moses Branch's Connecticut company, at Providence, Rhode Island.
The soldier continued to live in Voluntown, Connecticut, for some time after the Revolution, then moved to New York State, where he lived in Niagara County, then in Rush, Monroe County.
Archibald Campbell was allowed pension on his application executed July 3, 1832, while residing in Rush, Monroe County, New York. In June, 1833, he was a resident of Lebanon, Madison County, New York.
It is not stated whether the soldier ever married.
Soldier's brother, Isaac Campbell, who was born in March, 1762, made an affidavit in behalf of Archibald in 1832 in Monroe County, New York, but did not state his place of residence. In 1833, one Allen Campbell was living in Lebanon, Madison County, New York, his relationship to the soldier not stated.

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you enclosed one dollar to cover cost of the Revolutionary War record of Archibald Campbell, of Connecticut and New York, who enlisted in Groton, Connecticut, and reenlisted in Voluntown, Connecticut. You cite as references: "Jacket 20863, New York" and "Jacket Conn. 17721".
The references given by you pertain to two individuals. This office has no way by which to determine in which Archibald Campbell you are definitely interested, hence, the records of both are furnished you herewith in the effort to aid you materially.
All papers in pension claims, S. 12448 and W. 1139, have been examined very carefully and the data found have been incorporated in separate reports herewith. These official reports have been accepted as authentic by various historical, patriotic and genealogical societies, and it is believed will be just what you need in your research. The pension certificate number of Archibald Campbell, whose record is on file under S. 12448, was 20863, and the pension certificate number of Archibald Campbell, whose record is on file under W. 1139, was 17721.
No charge is made for the search of the records, or for these reports. One dollar, the amount of your remittance, will be refunded in due time.
Very truly yours
