To the Pension Bureau Washington D.C.
In the year eighteen hundred and twenty nine , or near that time, one Daniel Davison, called "Captain" died at Crafts- bury, Orleans County, Ver- mont, leaving a widow who continued to receive his pension
Would it be possible to ascertain the true rank of this man and also what war he was in?

As he went to Graftonbury Vermont from Massachusetts it is probable that he served in connection with regiments of the latter state. Daniel Davison was eighty-four years old at his death.
He had one son named Daniel who was enlisted in Milford, Worcester County, Mass. March 23 rd 1781, for three years, Captain Thayer's Company, Colonel Flagg's Regiment, age sixteen. He rose to the rank of Captain.
But it is of his father we wish to learn, and

for any and every par- ticular we shall be most truly grateful
