I have to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim 2. 5345 it appears that Philip Deamer, while a resident of Moore Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, enlisted in October 1777 and served as a private two months in Captain John Gregory's Company, Colonel Bost' Pennsylvania Regiment.

In May 1778 he enlisted and served two months in Captain John Gregory's Company, and in the fall of 1778 he enlisted and served two months in the same company.

He was allowed a pension on his application executed November 24, 1834 while a resident of Moore's Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania age seventy-six years.  He died about 1847.  No family data on file.

Respectfully,

Acting Commissioner
