State of Ohio
Huron County SS}

Sarah Hoyt of Norwalk in Said county & State aged 73 years being duly sworn according to law says that She has heretofore made application for a pension under the act of Congress passed July 7th 1838 and in her declaration she set forth that she had been the widow of Peter Grubb. At that time this affidavit did not think of the fact that she said her husband had been called Peter Grubb Junior to distinguish him from his uncle Peter Grubb, nor did affiant know that this was a necessary description. She knew that her husbands name was Peter Grubb, and that he was called Junior to distinguish him from his uncle, as above stated, but she did not know that it was necessary in making her application to set forth the later addition. Affiant further states that afterwards she was called upon by her Agent Mr. J H Beatty to know if her husband was called by the name of Peter Grubb Junior. At the first question affiants mind was so confused that she could not give a definite or satisfactory answer, but in a short time afterward she remembered distinctly that he was called and that it was to distinguish him from his uncle. She remembers more over that she had found a number of years back, a ("printed" crossed through) card, having the names of Peter Grubb Junior printed on it, which her husband had caused to be printed for the purpose of pasting on the side or fly leaves of books. That there were serval of these cards not used, and many years after her husbands death she found by accident this one, which she very carefully laid away as a memento. Affiant further states that on being appraised by her agent of the necessity of distinguishing between the two persons viz Peter Grubb Senior & Peter Grubb Junior. She searched and found the paper to which she has before alluded and sent the same to her son William R. Hoyt in their village of Norwalk (to be exhibited to her said agent who she supposed had not yet gone out of the village) and by whom the same was lost as appears by his affidavit. Affiant further states that she has made diligent search for other papers  but has not been able to find any. That her husband in his last sickness at times lost his reason and in one of his paroxysms consigned to the flames most of his papers. That his other papers were generally if not entirely taken possession of by her Co Administer, on said Peter Grubb's Junior estate from which causes as will as the removal to Ohio, and the papers oftime this affiant is unable to find any other documentary evidence to identify
Page 32

her said husband as Peter Grubb Junior. But this affiant knows that from the above circumstances as well as from her own recollection, that her husband was designated by the term Junior to distinguish him from his uncle who served at or about the same time in the Revolutionary War.
Affiant further states that she lived with her said husband from 1792 to the year 1807 when he died, that he was then considerably older than affiant and that the term Junior was not then usually added to his name and though affiant knew that he had so called himself and had been designated in the same way by others, yet she had forgotten it until her attention was particularly called to the fact, and as above stated she did not suppose any other description was necessary than his name for which reasons she failed in her declaration to identify the name of her husband with the particularity that now seems to be necessary.

This day came before me William R. Hoyt of Norwalk in said county of Huron who being sworn did depose and Say That on yesterday being Tuesday Dec 8, 1846. he received from Mrs. Sarah Hoyt his mother a paper being apparently such as are pasted on the lids or covers of books, having the name of "Peter Grubb Junr." Said mark as deponent understands and believes contains the name of his mothers first husband. The paper referred to was old, yellow, dingy and had every mark and appearance of having been printed many years ago.
Affiant upon receiving said paper went to find his mothers agent for the purpose of exhibiting it to him, but he had at that time left town. Unaware of its peculiar value, affiant put it into his vest pocket and thought no more of it until this day when being called upon by his mother he was unable to find it, and has since then examined every spot where said paper would have been likely to drop but with out success and affiant believes it to be entirely lost.

Under date of April 20, 1855 instructing me that "Sarah Hoyt, formerly widow of Peter Grubb, a Pensioner, Act February 20, 1848, last of the State of Ohio, at the rate of $201 32/ per annum" had that day transferred to this Agency- And further I was directed to pay this pensioner, at the said rate commencing from and after the 4th September 1853, &c.
Subsequently the Agent of the Pensioner appeared and presented a Power of Attorney authorizing him to receive her pension from the 4th September 1854 to 4 March 1855-- As the period embraced in the Power of atty. was twelve months less than I was authorized to pay I have thought that possibly, there was an error in the notice of transfer as to the commencement of the Pension.

Sir,
Upon reference to the paper designated by your memorandum the following additional evidence of the service of Peter Grubb is found in the Washington Papers. 
In No 34. of the Army Returns, P. 73, there is a list of the "Officers in the Regim't. commanded by Colonel Patton", without date or signature, in which under the list of "Captains" appears the name of "Peter Grubb Jr." and opposite to it, under the title of "Dates of their appointments," is the date "Feb'y. 13". The only date about this paper that mentions a year (underlined) is that giving the "Dates of Appointment" of the Field Officers of this
Page 78

Regiment, and the memorandum in this instance is "Jan'y 11th 1777."
This Paper is endorsed "Return & names of Col'o Patton's officers- one of the 16 Batt't."
I have to inform you that this evidence was not presented to the Pension Office in the letter from the Department of the 19th instant, because, from an error in the Index of the Washington Papers this Return was not entered with the others which represented Colo. Patton's Pennsylvania Regiment.

I am, Sir, very respectfully,

Washington August 10th 1848

I Elisha Whittlesey of lawful age depose and say that some time in June last I received from a person connected with Jesse E Dow of this City or in his company, a pension Certificate then lately issued placing Sarah Hoyt of Norwalk Ohio on the pension Roll under the Act of February 2nd 1848. John R. Osborne of said Norwalk a Gentleman and lawyer of great respectability acting as the friend and Agent of Mrs Hoyt sent the application to me and I placed it in hands of Mr. Dow or having placed it in hands of Mr Edwards the Pension Commissioner I ask Mr Dow to attend to the matter and which I do not at this moment recollect. The pension certificate thus being in my possession on the 18th of June I enclosed it in an envelope in a letter directed to John R Osborn Esq. Norwalk Huron County Ohio. A copy of the letter I now have, I suppose the letter was directed on the outside as mentioned and as it was so intended to be done. In directing my letters it is possible there was a mistake but I have no suspicion or knowledge of it. The letter was sent to the post office in the City on the same day as I suppose and of which I have no doubt with other letters. Of course I have no distinct recollection of this particular letter and speak from my intention and course of business. I have not seen the letter since and know nothing concerning it. until by due course of mail
Page 86

I received a letter from said Osborn, under date of July 20th 1848 in which he enquired about Mrs. Sarah Hoyts application for a pension. From the lapse of time I suppose the Certificate is lost or mis-sent

The fore part of June you issued a pension Certificate granting the continuation of a Revolutionary pension to Mrs. Sarah Hoyt, of Norwalk Huron County Ohio. The Certificate was handed to John E. Dow and sent by him to me On the 18th of June I enclosed it in a letter to John R. Osborn Esq. of Norwalk Huron County. The residence of Mrs Hoyt who sent the papers to me.
I have a letter this morning inquiring whether a decision has been had in this case, which makes it certain that my letter of the 18th of June had not been received by Mr. Osborn on the 20th of July, the date of his letter after this lapse of time it is not probable that the letter will arrive at its point of destination, and I with thanks to you, to point out the mode of obtaining a duplicate certificate with the request forms if you have adopted any.

Harrisburg Dec. 24. 1846}

Dear Sir
In the matter of Peter Grubb &c I can only find in this department that there was such a person Captain of a Rifle company- and that he received at sundry times from Lieut. Col. Sam'l Miles, from March to August 1776 £920.6.0 continental money, for the pay of his company. His name does not appear on the regular payroll nor among the list of depreciation certificates, but I find a muster roll of his for 1776 and that the regiment to which he was attached was commanded by Col. Brodhead. I will go up stairs and see if there be any thing there about him.
I find in the "Minutes of the Council of Safety" the following viz: "Sept.3 1776, W. Nesbit was directed to pay Col. Peter Grubb £95. for Cartridge boxes bought by him for use of his battalion "&c." Nov 27. 1776 Resolved that Peter Grubb Jr. and James Lang be appointed Captains in the 10th battalion of Continental troops raised by this State commanded by Col. J. Penrose" (did not accept)
It is evident from these facts that there were two of the same name and that the Col. Grubb upstairs is our Capt. Grubb. Col. Penrose's a/c shows payments to several captains, majors & among whom is Capt. James Lang but strange as it may be, Capt. Grubb's name is not there.

Sir
In the case of Sarah Hoyt, widow of Peter Grubb Jr. of Ohio, who asserts her claim under act 1838, for the Service of her first Husband a Lieut. Captain Commissary. 
I herewith enclose proof of marriage which took place on the 24 ??? 1792. Paper marked No. 1.
No's 2 & 3 the explanatory statement that her husband was Peter Grubb Jr.
No. 4 Is a letter from the chief clerk of the Auditor General Office Harrisburg Pa. stating as you will perceive that Peter Grubb was a Captain of Rifle Company ("and that" crossed out) under Lieut. Col. Miles from March to August 1776 and received the sum of £920.6.0 for the pay at his company. No further appears by the letter on the 27 Nov Peter Grubb Jr. was appointed Captain in the 10 battalion of Continental Troops under Col. J. Penrose.
By reference to the American Archive vol. 5.page 682 Mach 12, 1776 Peter Grubb Jr. was appointed a Captain of the 2nd battalion of the Rifle reg't. see page 692.
No. 5 Exhibits the fact that on the 1 Dec 76 Cap. Peter Grubb 2'd rifle company was in the service of the State. Making near Nine month Service. (Nine month service is underlined)
No 6 Is a certificate from the Secretary of State of Penna.- Showing on the 27 Nov 1776 that Peter Grubb Jr. & James Lang were appointed Captains in the 10th Battalion of Continental Troops. And as there is no record of Capt. Grubb's service under the last appointment to be found in Harrisburg. And knowing the Washington Papers at the Department of State affords evidence of the Penna. continental troops, must respectfully request that you will request a research of the Washington Papers. with the view to evidence
Page 97

of the service of (underlined "Capt. Peter Grubb Jr under Col. Penrose")
I find in No 3 the widow states under oath that her Husband was also a Commissary as it is difficult for old ladies to dispensate the ("service" crossed out) duty between a Commissary and officers in the Quarter Masters department. I hope further to request an examination for the Service of said Peter Grubb Jr or Commissary or in the (underlined "2 ?? department for Pennsylvania")
In regard to the claim now in question I must State where my attention was first called to it by the Son of the applicant that appears to me Something irregular, as the application was reopened as the widow of Col. Peter Grubb late of Penna. deceased which I knew could not be the fact, or the Col. Peter Grubb I had in view died soon after the war of the revolution, and left no widow, and for his heir, I have run a large claim before Congress.
I address also a letter to the Auditor Gen'l Harrisburg Pa. with the view to ascertain if there were two Peter Grubb's or officer's in service of the State of Penna. See letter No. 4 It states "It is evident from the fact that were (underlined "two of the same name") & that the Col. Peter Grubb upstairs is our Capt. Grubb. (written in faint pencil" & should have been, Not (underlined) our Cap. Grubb) 
Indeed it is clearly expressed in the letter that on Sep. 3. 1776. Col. Peter Grubb was paid £95 for cartridge boxes bought by him for some of his battalion. while it appears by No. 6. the company of Capt. Peter Grubb of the 2d Rifle battalion was in Service on the 1 Sept. 1776 (underlined) with (crossed out) the facts before me with the affidavit of the widow-- removed the first improper ??? of the claim. and believing they were (underlined "two Peter Grubbs in Service one as Col. and the other as Capt") the latter being the one for whose Service a pension is now claimed reportedly submit; the additional evidence.
I remain Your Obt.

CLIFFORD STANLEY SIMS;
GENERAL ASSISTANT

PHILADELPHIA 18th April 1884

Major William H. Webster,
Chief Old War and Navy Division,
Pension Office: Washington, D. C.,

My dear Sir,
Adjutant Gen'l Stryker of New Jersey refers me to you for some information needed to perfect the records of the Society of the Cincinnati in the State of New Jersey, of which organization I am the president-
The information needed is whatever can be supplied regarding the army service of Abraham Kinney, who appears in the record of the society there referred to as a Lieutenant in the Connecticut line; though he was very surely a native of New Jersey, and I do not feel it all certain but that the record of the society as to Connecticut Line may be wrong, and that his service may have been, after all, in some other branch of the Continental Line of the Revolution-
Information is also needed as to the service in the Continental Line of Captain Peter Grubb, of Pennsylvania, but whose descendants are now in New Jersey-
I will be under very many obligations if you can kindly supply this information, which is wanted only for the use of the society alone referred to, and will only so used-
Very Truly Yours,
Clifford Stanley Sims--

Washington City Sept 12 1857

George C. Whiting Esq.
Commissioner of Pensions.
DearSir.
I enclose herewith the pension certificate issued to Mrs. Sarah Hoyt, formerly widow of Peter Grubb & also an affidavit showing that she is now alive. I claim an increase of the pension allowed her on the ground of her husband having served a period of at least twenty one months (underlined) and sixteen days. The evidence of said service may be found by reference to the American Archives, 4th Series Vol 5 pages 681 & 82, it will then be seen that the Rifle Regiment to which her husband was attached was raised in March 1776 to serve until the 1st January 1778 and that Peter Grubb was appointed a captain on the 12th day of March 1776, now the record of your office is full of evidence that the said regiment did serve until the 1st January 1778 and longer, all the records within the office of the regiment are mentioned the name of Peter Grubb appears. I cite you a few cases showing that the regiment did serve until the 1st Jan'y 1778 and that Cap't Peter Grubb served until that time, the Pennsylvania Archives 1760-1776 page 780 show who were the captains in the reg't in which Peter Grubb served, The papers of Philip Jacob Soto pensioned under act 1818 Pennsylvania show that he served
Page 111

21 months under Capt. Christ in the reg't the papers of James Clendinin pensioned under same act, same state show that he served 21 months under Capt. Marrow, the papers of John Geyer pensioned same act, same state show that he served 2 years under Capt. Erwin, And lastly the papers of George Slotterback Same act, same state show a service of 2 years under Capt. Peter Grubb. The above cases are not only in the same regiment but the same battalion, whilst the soldiers claims only to have served out the time of their enlistment viz. 1st Jan'y 1778, it is not at all improbable that the officers remained in Service a longer time they must of necessity have remained until after the discharge of their men. The evidence referred to is incessant that Peter Grubb the husband of Mrs. Sarah Hoyt did service as Captain 21 months & 16 days. I therefore ask that the case may be increased for that amount of service.

I am sir very Respectfully
Your obt Servant
A. H. Markland
Page 112

P. S. In connection with this case I neglected to refer you to American Archives, fifth series, Volume one, page 1250. also to the resolve of Pennsylvania Council of Safety Colonial records Vol. X page 743, also to letters of Major John Patton to Council of Safety Pennsylvania Archives 1776-7 page 40 which will fully account for the regiment of Col. Samuel Miles, serving under different field officers.

Vet Respectfully

Sept 17. 1857

Sir:

A careful and thorough examination of the case of Sarah Hoyt, formerly widow of Peter Grubb, of Ohio, and of the various cases and authorities to which you have made reference, in your application for an increase of her pension under the Act of February 2'd 1848, while it adds confirmation to the fact, already admitted by this office, that Captain Grubb served from March 12, 1776, to January 13th, 1777, brings to light no evidence that he performed service after the latter date, when he was appointed a Captain in Col. Patten's regiment. 

I am respectfully
Your ob't. Servant,
S. Cole
for Commissioner.

Dear Madam:

I advice you that this bureau is unable toi furnish the history of a soldier of the Revolutionary War unless a claim for pension or bounty land has been made to the United States on account of his service.

A careful search of the records fails to show such a claim on file on accounty of the services of James Shirley, or Sherely, as described by you

In order to identify the record of a particular soldier of the Revolution surnamed Grubbs, the first name is essential with as much  as possible of the following data
