Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the record of Daniel Chamberlain, Revolutionary War soldier, placed on pension list, January 13, 1820, of the state of Pennsylvania, also the records of Abel Green and his father, Obediah, a native of Rhode Island, and a William Chamberlain who is buried in Bridgewater, Pennsylvania.
In order to identify the records of the soldiers, Abel Green, Obediah Green, and William Chamberlain, in whom you are particularly interested, as much as possible of the following data relative to each soldier, are essential: approximate dates of birth and death, and places of residence at enlistment and after service.

Colonel Bedel's New Hampshire regiment, marched to St. Johns, Canada, thence to Montreal, and then to the Cedars, where he was taken prisoner by the British and Indians, and carried off by the Indians, soon afterwards he was "redeemed" by his father, who was then an officer in the service and died in the service. The soldier, Daniel Chamberlain, went home on furlough in September, 1776, was taken sick and continued sick until after the expiration of the year for which he had enlisted.
Daniel Chamberlain was allowed pension on his application executed April 1, 1818, then aged fifty-six years and living in Silver Lake Township, Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania.
