Dear Sir
Mr Caleb Dean
Orilla Eddy & Permelia Baxter children of the late David Dean of Clarendon who died on the 31 st Aug. 1845 request me to write you that they would be glad to have you try to get more pension on them if you think it can be obtained. Their Father David Dean served in the Revolutionary war He enlisted they think three times once for 6 mo. once for 9 mo. and once for three years and was honorably discharged near the close of the war His discharge he lent to a man some years ago for some purpose and it has not been returned to him and is probably lost. I have and various other persons have many times heard him say that he served some part of the time while in the service as Teamster having the care of a baggage waggon etc. was a cook some part of the time was in the battles of Manassas and Germantown Some think he would be entitled to land his heirs say he has never rec d any land He lived on my farm at the time of his death and for a number of years before Never heard him talk much about being in the Revolutionary service etc. He drew a pension of $96. while he lived His heirs are anxious to get more if they can be lawfully & would like to hear from again

Washington in the state of Pennsylvania, was with the army the winter they encamped at Valley Forge from thence we were marched to Connecticut and lay at Danbury Ct. through the winter the next winter that part of the Army to which our Regiment was attached lay at Morristown New Jersey, during the above time I was in the Battle of German town and Monmouth and was finally discharged honorably at Springfield New Jersey. And was in the regular service of my Country three years, beside a number of months on short Tours of duty at Skeneborough on the northwest of my native state
