The name Daniel Harper has not been found on the records on file in this office of Massachusetts soldiers in the Revolutionary War.
The collection of Revolutionary War records in this office is far from complete, and it is suggested as a possibility that the desired information may be obtained from the Secretary of the Commonwealth, Boston, Mass., or from the Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D.C.
It is deemed proper to remark that during the period of the War of the Revolution Massachusetts embraced the territory now known as Maine.

The deposition of Major Galt —

I Jonathan Gass of the County of Muskingum and State of Ohio, late a Commissioned officer in the New-Hampshire line of the Revolutionary army do hereby swear that I have some faint recollection of a lad by the name of Harper joining the Company (as a Recruit) of Captain Nicholas Gilman of which I was Senior officer present, Gilman being absent in the Adjutant office as an assistant, which Company belonged to the first New Hampshire Regt commanded by Lieutenant Col. of Bonny Dearborn it altho I do not recollect his person I do not hesitate to swear that fully believe him to be the person that he represents himself to be and that he did serve in the manner and for the term he has represented in his application to Government for a pension dated the 20th. of June 1818 sworn to before Judge Linnce of the County of Athens. My belief is founded on his so correctly relating events and circumstances which took place at different times and places, which now could have done or can do who did not belong to the army at the time where circumstance and acting took place —

It may appear strange at first view that that I do not recollect the first name and person of the said Daniel Harper, but when it is considered that he joined the army at so late a period of the war a late just entered his seventeenth year and that I have not to my knowledge seen him since the army was disbanded in the year 1783 still he called on me last evening for my deposition and that he is now in his 55 year the supposition will cease
