DAR revolutionary war record

Received today an e-mail from DAR with recap of Nathaniel Hammond'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.


HAMMOND, Nathaniel
Birth: CT 10 Sep 1733
Service: CT
Rank: PS
Death: CT 10 Dec 1817
Patriot Pensioned: No Widow Pensioned: No
Children Pensioned: No Heirs Pensioned: No
Spouse: Dorothy Tucker
Spouse: Mrs Eleanor Olmstead Burr

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?
