Also submitted this new data to the DAR and received this reply from Nickola Lagoudakis (Ms.) NSDAR Staff Genealogist 8 Feb 2021: "There are two ways to correct DAR patriot records. 1) You may ask a relative to submit an application or supplemental to the DAR on your ancestor and include your supporting documentation for your correction with her application. The documentation is reviewed with her application or supplemental at the time of verification. 2)You may submit a letter of explanation along with supporting documentation to the address below. Your corrections mail will not be reviewed until an applicant applies for membership or a member submits a supplemental application to the DAR through that ancestor. You will receive a response to your corrections mail after the DAR application on your ancestor has been verified."

Research Notes

According to the Daughters of the American Revolution Lineage Book ^[9] : Daniel Field (1739-78) served as a private under Captains John Elden and Philip Thomas, and as a Sergeant in Capt. Philip Thomas' company, Col. Thomas Marshall's 10th MA regiment, (see Marshall-23202 Massachusetts troops. He was born and died in Falmouth, Maine. This record also confirms that he married Lucy Ingersoll (b. 1742) in 1762. ^[10]

War Graves Register, Clovis H Brakebill of Sons of the American Revolution, 1993 records his death in error as 1778 as does War Graves Register by Progeny Publishing Co, Buffalo N.Y. 1998. These records are confusing him with his cousin Daniel Field, have his birth date as 1739 and death as 1778, have him married firstly to Lucy Ingersoll and secondly married to Sarah Haynes! These two references from the Sons of the American Revolution website at Sep2008.

However, according to a DAR member's research Meehan-411, Daniel Field born 1739 is not to be confused with his cousin Daniel Field born 1708/9 who was of Pepperellborough. The Rev War service and DAR info is for Daniel Field 1709. DAR records show that Daniel Field died in 1778 but that is Daniel Field 1708/9 (whom there exists documents to prove his service). This Daniel Field died abt 1799 according to documents involving family members (Field and Ingersoll) in a Deed in Court Common Pleas 18 Aug 1799 Vol.1 page 176.
