War Files...Arnold Franklin - private underr Col. Butler engaged at massacre of Wyoming rec't pension of $80 per year married Lucinda on Sept 1, 1812, died Feb 20 1839. Lucinda filed for widow's pension on Apr. 17, 1843 in Steuben Co., NY town of Bath, aged 72 years. (Widow's pension provision enacted by Congress in 1843) Application was rejected.

If Arnold was 67 in 1832 he would have been born in 1765 and would have been only about 13 during the Wyoming massacre. Possible?

It sounds like he married Abigail and later moved to Palmyra, NY where, according to History of Bradford Co., "his wife died. He married a second time, finally came to Smithfield to live with his son, Rev. William Franklin, where he died Feb. 29, 1839, aged 74.
