DAR revolutionary war record

Received today an e-mail from DAR with recap of William Gallop's service, (as was submitted on a member's application who claimed William Gallop as ancestor.) The bad part is that you can only ask for a copy of the application and cannot get a copy of the supporting documentation.

GALLUP, William
Birth: Circa 1739
Service: RIVT
Rank: Pvt
Death: VT p 1788
Patriot Pensioned: No Widow Pensioned: No
Children Pensioned: No Heirs Pensioned: No
Spouse: (1) Hannah X

Their records say he did not have a pension. Which explains why the National Archives could find no pension file. Maybe I need to ask for his military service records from the Archives?
