I have to advise you that from the Revolutionary War records of this bureau it appears that Andrew McGaffey enetered the service in 1775, was at the battle of Bunker Hill, served as Lieutenant in the Third New Hampshire Regiment until some time in 1779.
He was pensioned from July 31, 1786, while a resident of Strafford County, New Hampshire, on account of disability (the nature of which is not stated) incurred in the service. He died August 20, 1825 in Sandwich, Strafford County, New Hampshire to which place he had moved from Epsom, New Hampshire.
Soldier married September 3, 1775 in Deerfield, Rockingham County, New Hampshire, Hannah Wallis. She was allowed pension on her application executed October 7, 1838 while a resident of Sandwich, New Hampshire, aged eighty years.
In July 1837, she moved to Mount Vernon, Kennebec County Maine because she had six children living there. No names are given except David McGaffey aged sixty two years in 1838 and with whom she was living in said Mount Vernon.

A drummer and fifer in the Revolution at age 14 (March 1, 1780-April 1783)
Moved his family into Lyndon, VT in the summer of 1803
McGaffey family genealogy p. 54 of G.W. McGaffey, gives the wife of this Andrew as Mary Cass, with these children. This is disputed by Laura M. Clarenbach in correspondence. She gives his wife as Hannah Calley (Corliss) due to age. She instead has Andrew, born 1782, son of Andrew and Hannah (Wallace) McGaffey.
