Gentlemen:-

I am trying to trace our family history and I recieved [received] a letter from the Hon. Harry Woodring  recently and he suggested that I write you.

I am seeking information regards my Great Grand-father Frederick Kysar; As family tradition has it; he emigrated from the old country and settled in Pennsylvania
previous to the out break of the Revolution War; I have information that one Frederick Keiser of Penn was in service in July 1777 in the 3rd battalion Philadelphia militia, and Mr. Woodring wrote me that One Frederick
Kyser enlisted in the new 1st New Jersey Regiment in Sept. 1777 and was mustered out
in Feb. 1783  Mr. Woodring says that his name
spelled  three different ways on the records,
Fredrick Kyser, Fredrick Chysor and Frederick Cuyser;  I am rather inclined to believe
that Frederick Keiser and Frederick Kyser
was the same man.  You can probably tell from your records.
I am very desirous of learning the town and county in which he lived;  His wifes name, his children names, birth date, death date, where
buried; also parents name if possible and what town and country he emigrated from to America.  In fact all the information you can give me.
Yours very respectfully,
G.N. Kysar

Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the record of your ancestor, Frederick Kysar, who served from Pennsylvania
in the Revolutionary War, and cite another Frederick Kysar who served from New Jersey in said war; you state further that the surname is
spelled Cuyser, and Keiser.
A search of the Revolutionary War records has been made and the records of only two soldiers with the name Frederick Kysar found,
under any spelling of the surname.  The data given herein were found in said claims, hoping that it may aid you in your research.

FREDERICK CUYZER-B. L. Wt. #289-100.

While a resident of Montgomery County, Maryland, he enlisted in September 1780, served in Captain Richardson's Maryland company engaged in transporting baggage and ammunition from Maryland to Virginia,
and returned to Maryland after six months.  In 1781 he moved from Maryland to Jefferson County, Kentucky, and in September 1781, enlisted in Captain James Patton's company of Jefferson County volunteers, went down the Ohio River in a flat boat and was on frequent scouting parties against the Indians on the frontier, length of this service six months.

The soldier applied August 29, 1834, while a resident of Jennings County, Indiana, for the pension which might have been due on account of his service in the Revolutionary War. His claim for pension was not allowed as the kind of service rendered by him was not provided for by the pension law under which he applied.
