Peter Daggan an inhabitant of this County and Citizen of this state, appeared before this Court, being a Court of Record, and made Oath, that he served as a soldier in the army of the united States, in the War of the revolution, that he enlisted in said service as an orderly sergeant in the year 1777 under Capt n Jonathan Langdon, that he was attach d to the 12 th Virg a Regiment on Continental establishment commanded by Col o James Wood, & obtained a discharge as an orderly sergeant in the year 1780 from Col o Richard Campbell of the Virg a Line, which discharge has long since been lost, and that he (said Daggan) is now in such low circumstances as to need the assistance of his country for support, being disabled by a log falling on him
Henry Breyer made Oath that he was a Lieut t & Adjutant in the 12 th Virg a Regiment in the Army of the revolution that he knew S t Peter Daggan to be an orderly sergeant in Capt n Langdon's company of S t Regiment that he has reason to believe, said Daggan served the time for which he was entitled to wit, three years

Dear Madam:
I advise you that the Revolutionary War records of this bureau fail to afford any information in regard to Pierre Daguerre or Leonard Daguerre, or Dugger.
The following is the history of the only soldier of similar name found on said records.
From the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 39412, it appears that Peter Dugger enlisted in 1777, as Orderly Sergeant in Captain Jonathan Langdon's Company, Colonel James Wood's Twelfth Virginia Regiment and was discharged in 1780 by Colonel Richard Campbell.
He was allowed pension on his application executed May 12, 1818, while a resident of Botetourt County, Virginia. His age is not given.
There are no data as to his family.
Very truly yours.
EARL D. CHURCH Commissioner.

Honorable Commissioner of Pensions Washington, D.C.
Dear Sir:
I am anxious to trace my ancestors, of whom the first one in this country is said to have been one Pierre Daguerre, who, with a brother who was probably named Leonard Daguerre - afterwards Americanized to Dugger - came over with Lafayette and served for the duration of the war, afterwards settling in Virginia or North Carolina, but probably the former. Pierre Daguerre is said to have married an American lady by the name of Tucker, of Virginia.
Is there any roster of the men who came over with Lafayette, or can you refer me to any source from which it would be possible to learn something of this man?
Sincerely yours,
Mary Austin
