209 Pepper Street
Muncy, Pennsylvania

Dear Sir:

Reference is made to that part of your letter of March 17, 1938, in which you request information relative to Henry Lebo who served in the Revolutionary War.

The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, W.3349, based upon the military service of Henry Lebo.

the date and place of his birth and the names of his parents were not given.

Henry Lebo enlisted at Reading, Berks County, Pennsylvania, in 1776 and served seven months as private in Captain Joseph Heister's company in Colonel William Holler's Pennsylvania regiment and was in the battle of Long Island.  He then enlisted in Captain Pierce's company in Colonel Harrison's regiment and after eighteen months was transferred to Captain William Barret's company in Colonel William Washington's 3rd Regiment of Light Dragoons and was in the battle of Monk's Corner and served five years.

He was allowed pension on his application executed June 13, 1818, at which time he was living in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, and stated that he was sixty-four years of age.  In 1820 he stated that he was sixty-eight years of age.

He died July 4, 1828, in Muncy, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania.

He married May 12, 1782, in Reading, Pennsylvania, Sarah or Sally Eoff, and both were residents of Reading.
Page 15

His widow, Sarah Lebo, was allowed pension on her application executed June 24, 1840, at which time she was a resident of Muncy, Pennsylvania, aged seventy-three years.  In 1848 she was living in Delaware Township, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania.

She died July 9, 1852. (See Agency Book)

It was stated that Henry and Sarah Lebo reared a large [smudge--family] and in 1820 the soldier referred to his son, aged thirteen years, but no names were given.

There are no further data on file relative to the family of Henry Lebo.

Dear Sir
Accompanying you
will receive papers applying for a
Pension for Mrs Sarah Lebo - who is the
widow of Henry Lebo de’d, who in his life
time kept a tavern in this Town and also
 for many years at the Muncy Farm.
He was a revolutionary Soldier.
I forward the papers to you, requesting
you to forward them in your [next] letter to
the Com of Pensions.
There may be some matter of
evidence or some pinpoint of form, not
exactly in precise harmony, with the very
various & complicated Forms of Evidence
required at the War Department-
But as to the fact, that Henry Lebor rec’d
a Pension of 96 Dll’r a year, (I think it was),
there will be sufficient evidence on the
Books of the Department. There will not
remain a shade of a doubt as to the fact of his
having been a soldier of the Revolution-The
Marriage is sufficiently proved to maintain
Title in Ejectment, or for Dower- which
Page 20

I suppose either of them ought to require
as strict proof as in the present
application.
It is a plain straight forward
case - I want you to push it forward
with your kind & prompt attention.
Your influence will be applied in favor of 
the widow of a deserving old Soldier.
And she, poor woman, is left Dowager 
of nothing else but the gratitude of
her country and the Kindness of 
her friends - For otherwise
she would be strictly a Pauper

Friend & obt servt

Dear Sir
You will please excuse us for the liberty we are about to take in address in a few lines to you in behalf of our friend Henry Lebo. The old man has laboured (sic) under a severe paralitic (sic) stroke which has deprived him of speech for the last two years he has drawn a pension for several years heretofore and now the new arrangements requiring the pensioners to name their captains and regiments has deprived him of his pension and only support, in consequence of his not being able to tell who his captain was. We know he did belong to Col Lee's legion and was under the immediate command of Col. Washington. He often has been heard to say that he had hard fighting against Col. Tarleton's Legion and his caracter (sic) is that of a good soldier. It will be a very hard case for the old man and his wife to be thrown on the borough for support which must inevitably be the case provided his pension is stopped, and he has certainly can't live much longer it will be hard indeed to through (sic) the old soldier on the mercy of his neighbors at the close of his days. We therefore hope you will direct your agent at Philadelphia to pay the last [illegible] months due. In all probability he will not live to ask for any more. If you should direct your agent to pay please do drop us a few lines that you have done so and
Page 28

you will very much oblige us 
We Remain Very Respectfully Yours

Dear Sir

Henry Lebo the Pensioner mentioned in the enclosed letter is one of my neighbors.  I always for some time pass have understood that he was placed upon the Pension list on account of his poverty and his service in the Revolutionary War.

I have often heard him favorably speak of his service - I think he was long in the service.

I know that at present and for sometime past he is unable to speak a word - Besides his mind is very much gone - so that it is not possible for him now to say who was his commanding officer - It would be a singular hardship, which the Govt of the U.S. never could intend to inflict upon an old soldier to stop his pension, because he is utterly unable to comply with the requisition of the War department in this respect.  We hope some plan will be adopted, by which the old man may receive his pension as heretofore.

Very Respectfully and Truly Yours,
W Cox Ellis

Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of the following soldiers:  Henry Lebo from Berks County, Pennsylvania, Job Harvey from either Philadelphia or Chester County, Pennsylvania, and Patrick Anderson from Chester County, Pennsylvania.

Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims made to the United States for pension and bounty land, based upon service in that war.

A search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the Revolutionary War service of either Job Harvey (Harvy) or Patrick Anderson.

You were furnished, March 11, 1930, the record of the only Henry Lebo (pension claim, W.3349) found on file in the Revolutionary War records of this office.

Dear Madam:

I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary Was pension claim W. 3349, it appears that Henry Lebo enlisted at Reading, Berks County, Pennsylvania in 1776 and served seven months as a private in Captain Joseph Heister's Company, Colonel William Holler's Pennsylvania Regiment, and after eighteen months was transferred to Captain William Barret's Company, in Colonel William Washington's 3rd Regiment of Light Dragoons and was in the battle of Monk's corner and served five years.

He was allowed pension on his application executed June 13, 1818, at which time he was living in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, and stated that he was sixty-four years of age.  In 1820 he stated that he was sixty-eight years of age.

He died July 4, 1828, in Muncy, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania

He married May 12, 1782, in Reading, Pennsylvania, Sarah or Sally Eoff both of Reading.

She was allowed pension on her application executed June 24, 1840, at which time she was a resident of Muncy, Pennsylvania, aged seventy-three years.  In 1848 she was living in Delaware Township, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania.

It was stated that Henry and Sarah Lebo reared a large family, and in 1820 the soldier referred to his son, aged thirteen years, but no names were given.

Gentlemen:

I would like if possible for you to give me as complete a record as you can of the service of a Revolutionary soldier, Henry Lebo, who enlisted at Reading, (Burkes-sp) Berks County in 1776.  His wife, Sarah Oves Lebo, claimed he served over seven years from 1776.

He is my great-grandfather and all I have gotten so far are just fragments of his service and a little incite on the few of his enlistments during his 7 or more years of service.  I tried to get a copy of his discharge but they claimed that was impossible as they would love to have a copy of his discharge if nothing else but a historical purpose.  I also want to get his complete record of service to clear up some points in the fragmentary notes I have obtained so far.  Another reason for this if I get this straightened out I can help a relative join the D. A. R.

My mother, Mary E (Lebo) Grange is the last of the older Lebo's and is in her 96th year.  She is the widow of Charles E. Grange, veteran of the Civil War 3 years.  He was 2 months in the Libby prison.  My mother has been denied her increase of pension after it has passed both Houses.  There was a bill introduced by Cong. Edgar Kiess for all invalid widows of Civil War veterans but for no reasons known to us has she been favored with this increase and now is when she needs it.  There is lots of money squandered every year where it isn't needed and it is a shame this can't be taken care of by this wonderful Government of ours where it is needed.  You can refer this matter to Cong. Robert F. Rich, he knows the circumstances to be true.

Very respectfully,
Kenneth L. Grange /s/
