Pension Record of Benjamin Covell

Certificate 9726
New York

Benjamin Covell
of Ellicott in the state of N.York
who was a private in the regiment commanded by
Colonel Shepard of the Massachusetts
line, for the term of six years

the 20th of May, 1818

Certificate of Pension issued the 23rd of Apr, 1819

Note: Ruth Chisholm read Benjamin's grandchildren, the children of Jonathan Covell, slightly different. She read Parmeter as Parmenter; Abijah as Abigail; and did not include what I read as Bethia.  The name Bethia is just a guess, because the writing is so indistinct.
