Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to William S. D. Wynn, probably of Virginia; George Hoover or Huber, who served from New York or Pennsylvania; Thomas Norton, born and died in South Carolina; and William Smith, who was granted pension about 1816, while residing in Lieking County, Ohio; all soldiers of the Revolutionary War.
There is no claim for pension or bounty Land on file based upon the military service in the Revolutionary War of a Thomas Morton, as described by you. Such claims are the source of the data furnished by this office. 
There is no claim for pension or bounty Land on file based upon the service of a George Hoover or of a George Huber, who served as a Captain and there are no further data on file than we're furnished you on March 13, 1936, in regard to George Huber S. 39743, the only soldier of that name or similar spelling that is found on the Revolutionary War records of this office.
As a means of identifying the particular record of a soldier named William Wynn or Winn, of Virginia, it is essential that you furnish as much as possible of the following data: approximate dates of birth and death, places of residence at enlistment and after service and given name of widow. It will expedite the matter if you will return this letter with your reply. 

You are furnished herewith the record of William Smith.

Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the record of George Hoover (Huber) soldier of the War of the Revolution from Pennsylvania, and a pensioner in 1819 in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, also information in regard to George Bellamy, Civil War soldier.

The portion of your letter relative to the Civil War soldier, George Belamy, has been referred to the proper division for reply.

The data which follow pertaining to George Huber were obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, S. 39743, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.

The date and place of birth of George Huber are not stated, nor are the names of his parents shown.

He enlisted, while residing in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, sometime in October, 1775, served as a private in Captain Peter Dechert's company, Colonel Magaw's 5th Pennsylvania regiment, he was in the battle of Fort Washington, where taken prisoner, was released on parole and reached home early in January, 1777.

He was allowed pension on his application executed May 18, 1818, at which time he was aged about
Page 23

sixty-six year.

George Huber was living in 1819 in Heidelberg Twonship [sic. Township], Lebanon County, Pennsylvania. He was living in 1820 in Meyerstown, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, and then referred to his wife as aged sixty years, but he did not give her name.

There is no reference to children.

Barbara Seibert or Leibert stated in 1819 that the soldier, George Huber, was living at her father's house at the time of enlistment. She did not give the name of her father.

In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, name and address of person paid, and possibly the date of death of the pensioner, George Huber, you should write the Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, Washington, D.C., and give the following:

Sir:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim S. 39743, it appears that George Huber, while residing in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, enlisted in October 1775 and served in Captain Peter Dechert's Company, Colonel Magaw's Pennsylvania Regiment, he was in the battle of Fort Washington, where he was taken prisoner, after which he was released on parole, and reached home in January 1777.
He was allowed pension on his application executed September 28, 1819, at which time he was living at Heidelberg Township, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, aged sixty-seven years. 
In 1820, soldier referred to his wife as aged sixty years, but did not state her name and there are no further data as to family.
Respectfully, 
Winfield Scott
Commissioner
I did not use May 18 - 1818 - as nowhere in claim was his declaration per com - May 18-1818.

Dear Sir:
In reply to your letter of February 13th, 1936 in which you state you are unable to identify the George Hoover, Revolutionary War Pensioner, I made inquiry of without more complete information I desire to give the following:
George Hoover, Huber or Huver, (name has been recoreded under all three spellings)..enlisted from Pennsylvania in Revolutionary War, probably from Lancaster, York or Cumberland County.
According to a family tradition it has been stated that George Hoover - (Huber, Huver), enlisted from Lancaster Co., (but have doubted this as think he resided and served from York Co.), and in Sept. 1819 he applied for Revolutionary War pension which was granted for 15 months service in the Revolutionary War.  Mention has also been made of "Heidelburg" Penn - as having been the home of said Geo. Hoover a part of the time following Revolutionary War.  There is a Heidlersburg in Adams Co. Penn. - and this may refer to this town, as it is located on the same creek as where he is supposed to have lived.  In Lebanon Co. Penn., Schafferstown, Penn. I am told was at one time known as Heidelburg - - so this Rev. soldier may have made application for pension from Lancaster, Lebanon, Adams or York Co. Penn. - - I am unable to state the county in which he resided at time of death - but possibly in Franklin County Penn - - or Adams or York or Labanon - - Dauphin Co - If names of the children of George Hoover (Huber-Huver)are recorded in his pension claim they may include a Jonas, Samuel and George - - and perhaps one other son and several daughters.  I trust this information will be sufficient to identify the Rev. War pensioner, George Hoover - Huber - Huver that I am desiring to learn of family data given in his pension claim or application.

consequently no certificate issued from the war office for his pension. He is a poor and very infirm man not able to walk without credites [crutches] and if he is legally entitled to a pension it will be an act of charity to procure it for him

Sir, 
The person that I procured a Pension lives in Jones Five his name is Heilner but his certificate is in the name of Heibner, which was a mistake, in the Clerks in filling up
This Heilner belonged to Capt [Captain] [illegible] Troop of Horse,
I expect that they take the Heilner for Huber,

Sir. A person of the name of George Huber who lives in Meyers Town Lebanon County made a declaration before me to entitle him to a pension as a revolutionary Soldier this declaration was made on or about the 18th of May 1818 and his application and documents were transmitted to the Secretary of war, who informs me that a person of the same name and of the same County of Lebanon mad a declaration before Judge Diemer the 20th July of the same year in consequence of which a certificate for his pension was issued and sent
to you - George Huber of Meyers town asserts that he never made such a declaration before Judge Diemer and that it must be another person of the same name.  This George Huber is a very infirm man and an object of charity it would be an act of great benevolence to assist him in obtaining his Pension to which according to his evidence he is justly entitled, will you have the goodness to transmit to me as soon as possible such information as is within your knowledge respecting the Person of the name of George Huber whose certificate
has been sent to you who he is, where he lives & so that the necessary information may be communicated to the war office to enable this poor man to obtain his pension.
