DAVID CROSBY S. 43413 BA-J/MLB
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of David Crosby, of Poland, Trumbull County, Ohio, and of John Frankfurter, of Columbiana County, Ohio.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims for pension and bounty land made to the United States based upon military service of soldiers in that war.
A careful search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the Revolutionary War service of a John Frankfurter, under any spelling of the surname. It is suggested that information in regard to his military service might be obtained from the Adjutant General, War Department, this city.
The record of David Crosby was found and is given below as shown in the papers on file in pension claim, S. 43413, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
He was born May 10, 1756, in the State of Massachusetts; the exact location of birth and names of his parents are not stated.
David Crosby enlisted April 12, 1777, in the State of Connecticut, served as corporal in the Connecticut troops, a part of the time in Captain Christopher Darrow's company, Colonels Jedediah Huntington's and Josiah Starr's regiment, a part of the time in Captain Benton's company, Colonel Sherman's regiment, and the remainder of the time in Captain Kimberly's company, Colonel Heman Swift's regiment; during his service he was in the battles of Germantown, Springfield, New Jersey, and Croton River in which he was badly wounded, and was discharged June 8, 1783.

David Crosby was allowed pension on his application executed June 22, 1818, while a resident of Poland, Trumbull County, Ohio.
In 1820, the soldier while residing in Poland Township, Trumbull County, Ohio, referred to his wife, Catharine then aged forty years, and to the following children: John aged thirteen years, Susannah aged eleven years, Martha aged seven years, William aged four years and Isaac aged two years; the date of soldier's marriage and maiden name of his wife were not given. In 1821 the soldier was still a resident of Poland Township, Ohio.
David Crosby died August 12, 1837. (A.B.)
