ORANGE BUELL R. 1412 BA-J/MLB am
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter of March 6, in which you request the record of Orange Buell, a soldier of the Revolutionary War, as shown in pension claim, R. 1412, based upon his service in the Revolution.
The records of this office show that Orange Buell died December 13, 1838, in Franklin, Delaware County, New York, leaving no widow, but the following children:- David Buell, Clarissa Foot and Betsey Buell. The name of soldier's wife was not given.
On January 20, 1855, soldier's son, David Buell, while a resident of Delaware County, New York, as executor of his father's estate, applied for the pension that might have been due the above-named children on account of the Revolutionary War service of their father, Orange Buell.
It was alleged that Orange Buell, while residing in Lebanon, Windham County, Connecticut, served one tour as private, dates of service and names of officers not stated; that he served another tour as teamster under Captain Robert Patrick, no details given. The official records showed that one Orange Buell served six months ten days from April, 1782, as teamster under Captain Robert Patrick.
The claim was not allowed as David Buell did not furnish proof that the Orange Buell whose name was borne on Captain Robert Patrick's roll of teamsters was his father.
In 1855, soldier's nephew, Abel Buell, was a resident of Delaware County, New York.
I found Rejected Claim #1412 of Orange Buell, referred to in claim on Old Rejected PK - G. C. Ames, Feb. 23, '55. This is the reference to David's (the son's) claim. No record found of the applr. which David stated his father made. (M.L.B)
Very truly yours

The application of Orange Buell dec'd of NY has been examined and filed under the act of June 7 1832,
The name of Orange Buell is upon the Roll of Robert Patrick, as a team- ster, for 6 months and 10 days, -

Geo. C. Amos Esq Present

Hon L P Waldo Sir
Washington July 15 1835
Enclosed you will find the declaration of the children of Orange Buell who claim for arrears of Pension due their father under the act of 7 June 1832.
Claimants allege that their father served in the Militia, and also as a Teamster under Capt Robert Patnek. But as they do not know the officers under whom the Militia service was rendered they have been unable to obtain any evidence of either term from the records of Connecticut.
The Rolls of Capt Parnch, Company of Teamsters, are now in your office. By referring to them, the evidence to sustain the alleged service under that officer may be found.
Very Respectfully Your obedient Servt Geo Sedgwick
