I happened across your query and do DAR look ups so incase you haven't contacted them yet-- I found a Jirah Martin b. 1762 NH, Pvt MA, received pension, d. 17 Feb 1843 NH, wife Hannah Cross. The National Archives probably has his pension records if not his service record. There are 5 David Ashleys listed in the DAR Index, however the only one who comes close was born in 1727 MA and died Feb.1813 MA, was a Pvt MA. His wife was Hannah Miller, he did not receive a pension.
