Sir
My two Grand Fathers were soldiers in the Revolutionary Army, and I wish to learn date of enlistment (number of Company & Regiment), and date of discharge. Amos Gould was from Massachusetts I think, - possibly from N.H. Nathaniel Burdett from N.H. both were pensioners in 1832 and subsequently. I wish to learn statistics named above, certified for use in the organization of society of "Sons & Daughters of the Revolution". Should a fee be required in the matter please advise and I will remit
Very Respectfully J. M. Gould

I Daniel Kimball of Gilmanton in the county of Grafton State of N.H. a pensioner under the act of May 1818 before being that I have lived a near 40 years neighbor to Amos Gould of Gilmanton in said county, I am applicant for a pension, under the late pension, for nearly thirty years; that from my earliest acquaint- ance with him with him I have often discussed with him upon the revolution any times, and heard him relate the cir- cumstances of his being in the New York That I have always understood from him, that he was in the service in New York, upon the North river three months; that he was at West Point, when Arnold turned traitor. I was there at that time, & from his stating to me often, what happened during the period, he says he was there - the situation of of the Point - & the numerous occurrences of the place, I have no doubt he was there, at the time stated by him. I further say no doubt exists in the minds of the neighbors of his wing in the New York - I further say That he is a man of most unexcep- tionable character - that he has been a consistent professor of religion for thirty years, & an officer of the church for half that time. - Daniel Kimball
