Dear Sirs
I wrote a week ago about
any Rev. war record of Jacob
Stoner & you required dates of
birth & death etc. - I will say
he was born about 1757 - did
1830.  I think he resided Mt Joy
T. (township) Adams Co. Penna at time
enlistment.  I am wondering why
there were so many men eligable
for war service that did not
serve at that time?  I have
a number of my ancestors from 
this vicinity who seems not to have served
in this war, & I do not understand
Page 13


it.  Is there any way of telling if
they hired substances?

Frederick Stoner, Frederick Diehl
& Jacob Stover
Shall be grateful to you
for a reply -

Have you any information
in your files about
Jacob Stoner who first
Married Catherine Albaugh in Maryland
then Barbara Garst, in Virginia
who was a native of Maryland

served in Captain John
Jordan's Co. Commissary
Gen. of Military Stores Dept.
Enlisted July 31, 1779

His father David Stoner is
buried at Union Bridge
Maryland and, so Jacob was
likely born there. That is
