On the sixteenth day of April Anno Domini one thousand eight hundred and thirty two personally appeared in open Court in the Court of Common Pleas of the County of Montgomery aforesaid,(being a court of record proceeding according to the course of the Common Law with a jurisdiction unlimitted [sic] in point of amount and keeping a record of its proceedings) Henry Nevel senior resident in said county, Weaver, aged seventy nine years, who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the provisions made by the
acts of Congress of the 18th of March 1818 and 1st of May 1820- That he the said Henry Nevel enlisted as a private in Captain La Marr's Company of Infantry belonging to the First Pennsylvania Battalion and of Pennsylvania Line, on the Continental establishment
in the army of the Revolution, Commanded by 
Col. De Haas at Germantown in the County of Philadelphia in the State aforesaid the twenty seventh day of October AD one thousand seven hundred and seventy five for one year, that he marched with said company and Battalion from Germantown the latter end of January following (1776) to Canada from whence they returned the latter end of the same year 1776. That said Battalion under Col De Haas burned Fort St Anns, a British Fort on the River St Lawrence in Canada the beginning of June 1776. That said declarant returned with the remnant of said company (only twenty three persons) from Canada to Philadelphia and was honorably discharged at Philadelphia on the 24th of December 1776, about two months after his term of enlistment had expired. That he was in the service of the United States on the continental establishment from the time of
Page 5

his enlistment above mentioned until his said
discharge a period of about fourteen months That his written discharge, was taken from his house with many other things, by the British soldiers, at the battle of Germantown in which this declarant was engaged as a volunteer in Captain Hasletts Company of Col Currys Regiment.
That he hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension except the present that his name is not on the roll of any state except Pennsylvania, and the following are the reasons for not making an earlier application for a pension viz He was the owner of a house
and lot of ten acres of land, subject to the Mortgage in his schedule of property mentioned, from the produce of which and the proceeds of his labour, or trade, while his
health enabled him to follow his trade, he was able to support himself. That for the last ten years he has been much afflicted with gravel, or stone; so much as to be entirely unable to labor the greater part of his time in consequence of which he has been obliged to men debts for
his support to a considerable amount until his house and lot before mentioned, and the two pieces of vacant unproductive land mentioned in his schedule of property and his goods have become incumbered [sic]to a greater amount
than their value For the last few years
he has suffered great and excruciating pains and requires the almost daily attendance of a
Physician. He did not apply earlier, because ^(of) his little property, and labour with the blessing of health he was enabled to live without the assistance of his country, whose aid he had determined never to ask while he was able to get along without it.
But his means of support are now exhausted, and by age and infirmities he is become unable to work at his trade or do any thing for his support and is reduced to such indigent circumstances as to be unable to support himself without assistance from his country
And in pursuance of the act of the 1st of May 1820, I do solemnly swear that I was a resident citizen of the United
Page 6

States on the 18th of March 1818 and that I have not since that time by gift sale or in any other manner disposed of my property
or any part thereof with intent thereby to diminish it as to being myself within the provisions of an act of Congress entitled
"an act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States in the Revolutionary war" passed the 18th of March 1818 and that I have not nor has any person in trust for me any property or securities contracts or debts due to me nor have I any income other than is contained in the Schedule hereto annexed and by me subscribed. I am by occupation a weaver but for the reasons before mentioned am unable to pursue it. I have no wife living. My children consist of two sons and four daughters all of whom are married, and all of them are obliged to support their families by their own labor, and none of them are able to contribute anything to my support. That since the 18th of March
1818 no change has been made in my property except that my little barn with its contents of hay and grain, was consumed by fire from lightning in the summer of 1831, after the harvest had been gathered in, which was rebuilt
by the charity of my neighbours.--

Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter of September 8, 1933, which was transmitted to this office from the War Department, and in which you request the records of soldiers of the Revolution.

Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims made to the United States for pension and bounty land based upon the military service of soldiers in that war. A search of the records fails to show such claim on file on account of the services of any soldiers named George Egert and
George Hartzel.

For information relative to pension that may have been granted Captain George Egert by the State of Pennsylvania, it is suggested that you consult the archives at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, S. 41916, based upon the military service of Henry Nevel, the only soldier by that name that is found in
the Revolutionary War records of this office.

He enlisted at Germantown, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, October 27, 1775, in Captain Lamar's Company in the
First Pennsylvania Battalion which was commanded first by Colonel Bull and afterwards by Colonel DeHaas; he went on the expedition
to Canada and was discharged December 24, 1776, having served as private and first sergeant. He then volunteered in Captain Haslett's Company in Colonel Curry's Pennsylvania Regiment and was in the battles of Brandywine and Germantown, length of this enlistment not given.
Page 9

He was allowed pension on his application executed April 16, 1832, at which time he was living in Gwynedd Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, aged seventy-nine years, and he was then referred to as Henry Nevel, Senior. He had formerly lived at Germantown, Pennsylvania.
In 1832 he stated that his wife was not living and that he had two sons and four daughters, all of whom were married, but he gave no names.

Very truly yours

Dear Sir:

According to family record one Capt. George Egert, who commanded a company of Philadelphia County Militia, received
a pension. We are particularly anxious to know what his pension application contained, particularly what services he gave in 1779, what battles he fought in that year, as I have
photostat of the original muster roll of this man in May 1779 and it contains the name of [begin crossed out] my ancestor [end crossed out] Gorge [sic] Hartzel, and we are interested in a monument for George Hartzel. So we need to
know what actual service George Hartzel gave and although we know this same George Hartzel did not received [sic] a pension, if you
can furnish us proof as to what service his Captain George Egert gave in 1779, from his pension paper, we can obtain the marker.

Do your records contain a pension record of Capt. Henry Nevel of Philadelphia County Militia and what services he gave in 1780 what battles and etc.

If this work is beyond the regular office routine please tell me what professional to write to have this research made.
Very truly yours,

Sir
In addition to the certificates of the magistrates, before whom the annexed depositions were taken, respecting the credibility of the deponents. I will state I know all the deponents. Mr Duy one of the witnesses to the services of Mr Nevel, is a wealthy and respectable citizen of Germantown whose testimony on any subject, would be relied on with the most implicit confidence, by any man who know him. And Mr Sheive too is an old gentleman much respected and esteemed and sustaining a high character for veracity. They are not the ordinary kind of witnesses introduced on such occasions.
All the deponents are persons of reputability
and entitled to the fullest confidence.
Mr. Nevel is a person of respectable and
moral character and esteemed a man of the stintest truth and veracity
