I wish to find out if I am eligible to become a member of D. A. R. So I am enclosing a list of my direct ancestors and wonder if you can tell me something about it. If it cannot be traced through the following list, we might be able to trace it another way. I think it might be traced through the wives if not the Capsells themselves. ( Stephens Capsell (My own grandfather) born in Wales N. Y. 1839 - married Frances Hubbard daughter of Seneca Hubbard and Elizabeth Perry of New York. The line follows down.
Simeon Capsell born Aug. 29 1809, married Rebecca Buesch , Ulster Co. New York. Daniel Capsell , born New Milford Conn. Married Prudence Hubbell of Kent, Conn. ✓ Edward Capsell , born 1735 in Preston, Conn. married Jane Owen . They resided in New Milford, Conn.

✓ Samuel Cagwell married Lydia Starkweather.

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter relative to soldiers of the Revolutionary War.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims made to the United States for pension and bounty land based upon military service of soldiers in that war.
A careful search of the records fails to show such a claim on file on account of the services of John Cogswell or any William Cogswell as described by you, or any Edward Cogswell, all spellings of the surname searched.
The records of this office show that Warrant No. 350 for two hundred acres of bounty land was issued January 25, 1799, on account of the services of Samuel Cogswell, Lieutenant of the Massachusetts Line, War of the Revolution, to James Fitch Cogswell and Maria Cogswell the only children of Samuel Cogswell.
There is no further information on file as to his services or his family, due to the destruction of papers in such claims, when the War Office was burned in November 1800.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER Executive Assistant to the Administrator
