See affidavit of Benjamin Gould in claim of Pomp Peters (colored) S.45062, in which said Gould states that he and Pomp Peters served at same time in Colonel Tupper's 10th Massachusetts Regiment. At the time he made this affidavit he and Pomp Peters both lived at New Boston, New Hampshire. See Pomp Peters affidavit in this claim.
In Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolution, page 665, Benjamin Gould, a negro, is cited as having served in Colonel Tupper's Regiment.
However there is nothing to show that this is the identical Benjamin Gould, negro, who is cited in the Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolution.
