Daniel F. Bakeman (1759-1869) was the last surviving soldier of the Revolutionary War who received a veteran’s pension. This photo of him was taken in 1868 at age 109, one year before his death.

So he served in the Rev. War, and lived through the Civil War. Amazing luck to live so long at a time when any number of medical issues could kill you. I wonder how much he received for a pension.

Sure doesn't look that old in the pic.

Anyway, think of the history he lived through.

Seems to me the only thing they are questioning is his military service. Everything else adds up as far as dates, baptism, marriage, ages of children and grandchildren, etc. were all verified. The timing of his life is right for service, but the records were lost in a housefire.

And of course it's wikipedia, which is hardly reliable to begin with. Guess we'll never know for sure.

Military record keeping during that time was poor. I have 2 ancestors who were Rev War Veterans. In the DAR records we find 1 who served in the CT 5 Regiment, the other they could not confirm. But there were several in their records that had the same name as that ancestor. So I think it boils down to poor or lost records.

He could have also served in the War of 1812.
