Madam:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S.43349, it appears that Price Cooper enlisted in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, in 1777, and served one year as a private in Captain Samuel Ransom's Independent Company, then joined Colonel Durkee's Connecticut Regiment. He was wounded at the battle of Bound Brook by a musket ball in the hip, was in the battle of Mud Fort, and in many skirmishes and served until in 1783.
He was allowed pension on his application executed May 9, 1818, at which time he was living at Danby, Tioga County, New York, aged sixty-two years.
On September 8, 1820, he stated that he had no wife, that one son was living with him "who will be twenty-one years old next May", the names of wife and son are not given.
The soldier died, July 6, 1827.
There are no further data concerning his family.

Due to the large number of inquiries similar to yours and the lack of a clerical force available for the purpose, it is not the practice of the bureau to send but two histories to each inquirer.
Respectfully,
E. W. MORGAN Acting Commissioner.
