I marched as a militia man in the beginning of the revolution in the year 1776 in Captain Stovers company and Col. Greenewalts Battalion. I enlisted in the flying camp about a month after I marched with the militia under Captain Frickers I did not know my captain the said Fricker before I enlisted - I was out about four months. I lived in the Township of Bethel Lancaster County and state of Pennsylvania. I served about one month as a militia man and six months under my enlistment. I was on this side the North river about the time that Fort Washington was taken. I never was in any battles but lay at at Powle Hook when the British lay in the river and fired at us but with very little effect. We march to Reading, to Easton in Penn. to Amboy in the state of New Jersey and then to newark and to the North River in the state of New York - I was discharged at Newark in the State of New Jersey I had a written discharge from Captain Friker which I have lost. Captain Stover and Col. Greenewalt and Captain Fricker is deads I know of no other person now living who knows of my being in the service but Jacob Decker and Andus Webber. 
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present, and declares that his name is not on the pension list or roll or agency of any state.

The following Questions were pro(??) to Dilman Daub- an applicant for the benefit of the Act of Congress passed 7 June 1832 by the Cont. at the time of filing his declaration to wit:

First-Where and in what year were you born?
I was born in Germany and came into this country when I was only two years old according to the account given of it by my parents-I was born in the year 1759. I have no other account of my birth place then that given by my parents.

Second. Have you any record of your age; and so nowhere is it? I have no record of my age but the ages of my father's children are entered in the family bible in which my age is also entered.

Third. Where were you living when enrolled into service; where have you lived since the revolutionary war; and where do you now live? I live in Bethel Township Lancaster County (now Lebanon) and State of Pennsylvania when I entered the service- where I have lived ever since-

Fourth How was you called into service: were you drafted, did you volunteer or were you a substitute, and if so for whom?  I marched first as a Militia man and then enlisted in the flying Camp.-

Fifth-State the names of some of the regular officers who were with the troops when you served such continental and Militia regiments that you can recollect and the general circumtances of your living? General Washington was then General (??) but who had the Command I am not able to state as my memory does not serve me because I have forgotten nearly all that took place I have already stated nearly every I can recollect as to the officers, this is my declaration.
Page 7

Sixth Did you ever receive a discharge from the service. But if so, by whom was it given and what has become of it? I received my discharge from Captain Fricker in writing I have lost it I cannot tell what has become of it-

Seventh. State the names of the person to whom you are known in your present neighborhood and who can testify to your character for veracity and their belief in your Service as a Soldier of the Revolution! I am know to Jacob Decker since I know any thing and Andrew Webber and to many respectable people in my neighborhood who can testify as to my veracity and their belief in my being a Soldier in the Revolution. I know of no clergyman who could make the certificate less my clergyman old Parson Bucher or perhaps parson Hesiton if they were alive they could tell but time has made a sad house among many all being my old friends who would be likely to know most about me. The clergyman now resident here is lately come to this place and remember nothing about me.--

We hereby certify that we are well acquainted with Dilman Daub who has subscribed and sworn to the above declaration and we believe him to be Seventy three years of age; that he is respected and believed in the neighborhood where he resides to have been a Soldier of the Revolution and that we concur in that opinion.-

_____________________

EXPLANATORY NOTES.

Quere V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words: "Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades; For _______ year ______ months, and ______ days, I served as a ______ For ______months and ______ days, I served as a ______; and for such service I claim a pension.
Page 30

it is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the 
[illegible] rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the
pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about the or months
definite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions
merely state they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours; the names of the
officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must in every case be clearly shewn under what officers the applicant served; the duration
of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the
applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either
 
in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed
in any civil pursuit.
+QUERE XIV. Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must
prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of
the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the
regiment, company, and line to which he held
must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the man who may administer the oaths
enter and signature of the magistrate
must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
QUERE XVI. Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not
written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate
must be attached thereto by a piece of
 tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any  paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.

[symbol] In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, has no public seal of
office, the certificate of a member of congress, proving the official character and signature of the
certifying officer, should accompany the papers.

At the same time appeared in open Court

Jacob Decker who being duly affirmed according to
Law doth depose and say that he is well acquainted with Dilman Daub
the above name applicant that he has known the said Daub since he
was a boy that they were brought up and raised  in the same neighborhood
that Daub is about a month younger then I am and I am now
nearly seventy four years of age. That the said Daub marched as a
militia man in the Beginning of the revolution in Captain Seaver's company and Col. Greenewalt batalion [battalion] and then he enlisted in the flying
camp I think he was in the service about Seven months, when he
returned I was myself in the service of the United States at the same
time and saw him as a soldier doing duty as such - Daub
Enlisted under Captain Fricker who lived in Bethel Township
then Lancaster County. I saw Captain Fricker about 25 years ago he
then lived near the burnt Cabin Bedford County Pennsl- Daub went
into the service of the United States in the year 1776. I have not
herd of Captain Fricher since. I do not think that Captain
Fricker since. I do not that  {scratched out] Captain Fricker  is alive at this day.
