DAR revolutionary war record

Received today an e-mail from DAR with recap of Isaiah Robinson's service, (as was submitted on a member's application who claimed Isaiah Robinson 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.


ROBINSON, Isaiah
Birth: MA 20 May 1729
Service: NY
Rank: Pvt
Death: NY p 1790
Patriot Pensioned: No Widow Pensioned: No
Children Pensioned: No Heirs Pensioned: No
Spouse: (1) Amy Chappell


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?
