Henry Slotterback

Dear Sir:

    Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of henry Slotterback, a pensioner of York County, Pennsylvania, who served in Butler's regiment.

    In the Report of the Secretary of War, printed in 1835 in regard to the pension establishment, the name George Saddle is borne just above that of Henry Slotterback in the list of York County Pennsylvania pensioners.  The service in Butler's regiment and commencement of pension My 2, 1827 as recorded in said report pertain to George Siddle.  Reference to that report will show that Henry Slotterback died in 1817, two years prior to commencement of pension shown on same line with his name.

    The report referred to above shows that Henry Slotterback served as a private in the Revolutionary Army, was pensioned under the Act of June 7, 1785, that his pension began March 4, 1793, while a resident of York County, Pennsylvania, and that his pension was continued under the Act of April 24, 1816, also, that he died February 10, 1817.  This pension was granted Henry Slotterback for disability incurred in line of duty in the Revolutionary War.

    There are no statements on file in this office which were made by Henry Slotterback in regard to his service or wounds at the time he applied for pension, because of the destruction of papers when the War Office was burned in 1800; hence, this office has no further information in regard to him, his pension was automatically continued under the Act of April 24, 186, without any application subsequent to 1800.

                              Very truly yours,

                               A.D. Miller,

Gentlemen:

    I have been informed that an ancestor of mine served with the Pennsylvania troops in the Revolutionary War and subsequently received a pension.  His name is Henry Slotterback, who is said to have been in Butler's Regiment and to have been placed on the pension roll May 2, 1827 in York County, Pennsylvania..
    I wonder if it would be possible for me to obtain any additional information concerning him, which might be useful in tracing his descendants.

                                   Very truly yours.
