I have a copy of Daniel CARPENTER's Revolutionary War pension papers via Heritage Quest. In it he names three sons who are still dependent upon him - Harvey, Asa and Orson. Daniel joined the Continental Army in Coventry , CT in 1775. In the application for the pension dated April 13, 1818, he says he is 65 and his wife is 56, which makes his birth year 1755 and his wife's 1764. He applied for his pension from Vienna, Oneida co. N.Y. In the 1880 census Orson says he was born in Ct in 1807 and that both of his parents were born in Ct, also. I have found a Ct. vital record of Daniel CARPENTER born to Daniel CARPENTER and Elizabeth on May 9, 1755 in Coventry, Ct. How would I know if this is my Daniel? So far I've had no luck finding birth records for Harvey, Asa or Orson. Any suggestions of where I go from here? Jessie Deith
