DAR revolutionary war record

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


HILL, Andrew
Birth: NY 1732
Service: NY
Rank: Maj
Death: NY 1810
Patriot Pensioned: No Widow Pensioned: No
Children Pensioned: No Heirs Pensioned: No
Spouse: (1) Catherine Horton

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?
