Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which
you request the Revolutionary War records of
Frederick Goss of North Carolina, of William and
Caleb Goble of Washington County, Pennsylvania.
The Revolutionary War records of this office

The data which follow concerning Caleb Goble
were obtained from papers on file in claim for
pension, R. 4075, based upon his military service
in the Revolutionary War.
Caleb Goble was born in New Jersey, date not
given) and left there when quite young. The names
of his parents are not given.

there ten years, to Miami County, Ohio, there six
years, and thence to Shelby County, Ohio.
He applied for pension October 31, 1832, then
living in said Shelby County, aged seventy-two years, and stated that when about sixteen years of age, he
Page 9

was enrolled in 1776, in Captain Benjamin Rice's
company of Washington County, Pennsylvania
Militia, served one month at Jackson's Fort under
Captain Charles Crawaft(?), that he served six
months as substitute for his brother, Daniel Goble,
in Captain James Brinton's company, Colonel Crawford's regiment, and assisted in building Forts McIntosh and Laurens, after which he served as Indian spy at various times until the close of the
war, was stationed at Lindley's Fort in Washington County, Pennsylvania, part of the time.
The claim for pension was not allowed as

It is shown, also, in the claim that Caleb
Goble married in the year 1786, Sarah. The date

My Dear Sir,
Do you have a Revolutionary War record of Frederick Goss of Davidson Co North Carolina.  His father Frederick Goss was one of the original settlers of this county.  he is mentioned several times in a history of this county.  I have the children of the original Frederik, one of whom was Jacob whom I know was a Rev. Soldier.  My own records tell me Frederick II was born in 1754
Page 16

and fought in the Rev. but I would like this verified from his pension.
I am also interested in William and Caleb Goble of Washington Co. Pennsylvania.
Their brothers Ebenizer Goble B. 1757 and John Goble were in the Rev. but I am not sure about either Caleb or William.

Sincerely,
Miriam M. West

Dear Sirs,
Can you give me any information as to Rev. Soldiers Caleb Goble and Ebenezer Goble,
Pennsylvania Rangers, mentioned in Pa.
Archives, Vol. 23, P 218, 3d Series ?(Caleb Goble, and perhaps Ebenezer, was a brother of Abraham Hathaway's wife ( my great-great-grandparents), both of whom went from western Pennsylvania to Miami County, Ohio, about
1800. It is possible that I may get at my Goble line from these two men,
one of whom, Caleb, was her brother.

Also, can you give me any information as to the above Abraham Hathaway,
also a Rev. Soldier-perhaps from New Jersey (where he was born), but given
as a Pennsylvania Ranger, likewise in Pa. Archives. (His wife was a Goble-first
name not known. Can you supply it?)

I am also after data as to my great-great-grandfather Stephen Carter
and his wife who was a Coe, first name unknown, Stephen Carter was killed by Indians near the blockhouse on the site of Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1790.
His widow is said to have afterward gone to live with her father near Troy,
Miami County, Ohio perhaps about 1800. I feel sure Stephen Carter was a Rev.
Soldier, but I need more data, and proofs of same.

And then this Coe was it Joseph, I wonder? He lived and died in Miami Co., Ohio, and may have been a Rev. Sold, too. If he had a pension, perhaps I can
get some much desired information about both him and his wife, including their
first names.

I should like also information as to John Howard, father of Olivia Howard who married Joseph Hopkins, and came from Vermont to Ohio about 1810-where Joseph Hopkins was killed by Indians at Fort Meigs in 1813. John Howard may have served in the Rev. from Vermont, though probably from Mass, or Conn. If you have a
record of him, perhaps it will also give the name of his wife, also desired.
Hoping I am not asking too much, and with much appreciation of any assistance
you may give.
Very sincerely,
Cordelia O. Hopkins

Caleb Goble claimed for service as militiaman and  Indian spy and so forth in Pennsylvania, but produced
no evidence except a very loose statement by one Coe, who did not state what were his means of knowing the facts he stated.
Recently a certificate of the Auditor of Pennsylvania,
has been filed showing that a payment of 3.13.6 pounds was made to Goble for his military service, but as this
payment did not cover as much as two months service, it
could not suffice to warrant the allowance of the claim.

Sir:
The evidence in support
the claim of Caleb Goble has
been again examined.-
By referring to the brief objections,
[illegible] his claim was returned on the
first instance, because he had not
mentioned with precision the
length of his service, and that Joseph Coe
his witness was not certified to
the credible.-- In his amended
declaration this word of precision
still exists, he is therefore required to
give each term of service, the
length thereof, and the officers
under whom he served.-- To say
that he served six years as an Indian
Spy, without specifying the town &
cannot be admitted-- He is moreover
required to show, that the interlineation,
where Joseph Coe is certified as a
credible witness was done in open
Court, and by said Court ordered to
be certified to this Department.
Unless these difficuties are removed

About 10 or 12 years ago our member of Congress from this district was employed to prove the affidavits of two soldiers who were then living to prove the
service of Caleb Goble-- their names are Zenas
Lindley & Joseph Coe. He filed their affidavits
in the pension office at that time
