Krick of Washington County Maryland
filed claim under the Act of June 7, 1832
and alleged that he rendered three tours
of 2 months each in the militia of Pennsylvania.
But the claim was not supported by
the necessary proof and was rejected. If

Sir,
The declaration of
Jacob Krick of Maryland has been examined.
He alleges to there been drafted
as a militia man of Pennsylvania to
serve two months in 1779, the same
in 1780, and the same in 1782,
The service of the Pennsylvania Militia in 1780 and
1782 was not for so long a term as
two months  The whole service was
therefore less than six months. The
act of 7 June 1832 provides for none
who did not perform six months
actual service in a military capacity. 
The claim has consequently
been rejected and the declaration
filed.

Dear Sir:

Reference is made to your letter relative to a
number of soldiers of the Revolutionary War.

Revolutionary War data furnished by this office
are obtained from claims made to the United States
for pension and bounty land based upon military
service of soldiers in that war.

A careful search of the records fails to show
such a claim on file on account of the services of
Bernard Eberhard, George Shambach, Stophel or
Christopher Kline, Ernest Klose, Samuel Hendricks,
John Adam Gift or John Jacob Aigler, all spellings of
the names searched.

Because of the great demand for Revolutionary War
data and the limited trained clerical force available
for furnishing such information it is impossible to
comply in full with each request pertaining to soldiers
of that war.

The record of the only Jacob Krick that is found
on the Revolutionary War records of this office is
furnished you herewith as found in the claim for pension
based upon service in that war.

Very truly yours
