The State of Ohio
Scioto County, ss.
On this twenty sixth day of June in the year of our Lord one thousand eight and thirty three, personally appeared in open Court before the Judges of the Court of Common in and for the County of Scioto and State of Ohio, being Court of Record and now sitting, Uriah Barber, a resident of the County and State aforesaid, aged seventy one years the third day of January 1832, and who being first duly according to law doth on his oath make the following Declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7, 1832 and on his oath aforesaid, states that he entered the service of the United States on or about the last of April 1778 and was called into the United States service in company of militia under the command of Captain Thomas Camplain, he lived at that time in the County of Northumberland, State of Pennsylvania, and was enrolled in said Company of Militia in said County. He was called out for three months but served a much longer time before he was dismissed. Was during the time in Northumberland County guarding the frontiers, as Northumberland County was at that time a frontier County and the Indians constant depredations and were daily murdering the inhabitants. The Regiment in which he was mustered was commanded by Colonel Hosterman and after having served the time for which he was called out and considerable more, he was honorably discharged by Colonel Hosterman, which discharge is lost by time and accident. One his

return home sometime in September or perhaps October, as he is unable to remember be the precise time, in 1778 he enlisted into a company commanded by Captain William Morrow in the County of Northumberland aforesaid for seven months and was mustered and served in a Regiment commanded by Colonel Robert Hartley on continental establishment, served out his time, and was after about eight months after his enlistment, honorably discharged, which discharge is also lost. Soon after said enlistment, the Regiment was ordered up to build Fort Wallace situate on the Susquehanna in the County of Northumberland, which this declarant helped to build and finish about the first part of the enlistment, perhaps the latter part of September or the first of October of 1778. Colonel Hartley was ordered out with his Regiment to take the Indian Village called Munsey Town situate on the head waters of the Susquehanna in Northumberland County, but before the army reached the place, the Indians fled; and army there returned to the Fort and went into Winter Quarters. This declarant served during the enlistment aforesaid, a tour as aforesaid, against the Indians and continued in service under his enlistment until the month of April or May of 1779, when General Sullivan arrived in Northumberland County with a command consisting of three Brigades, one under the command of General Clinton, one under the command of General Poor and the other commanded by General Hand. Men were wanted to be employed on board boats
Page 5

to transport munitions of war for the army aforesaid to the frontiers. The General issued a proclamation for volunteers for that service. This declarant, under that proclamation, volunteered for six months and went into that service and was during the said six months engaged in that business under the command of Commodore Mark Huland and during the whole time, transporting munitions of war for the army from the place now called Harrisburg to Simsbury, Wyoming and Tiog and was, at the end of the six months or something more, honorably discharged in Northumberland County aforesaid. Soon after the discharge aforesaid and sometime in the fall of 1779, he again enlisted for seven months in the County of Northumberland aforesaid into a company commanded by Captain Peter Grove and was attached to and mustered in a Regiment commanded by Colonel Samuel Hunter called the Rangers. During this enlistment and about the 14th day of March, this declarant was sent was out with another person by the name of Benjamin Green by the order of Colonel Hunter with a view of discovering if there were to be found any trails of the British and Indians approaching the settlement. They proceeded into the woods where they understood the British and Indians were said to be about thirty-six miles to Munsey Creek, where they fell in with a party of British and Indians. Green was killed by the Indians and scalped. This declarant swam the creek, which was then high and the day cold and proceeded on until he reached the Fort.
Page 6

He left his gun and ammunition on the bank of the creek, was much fatigued and had suffered greatly both by cold and hunger. He served out the time of his last enlistment and after his time of service was ended, he was honorably dismissed by Colonel Hunter on the Commons at Simsbury in Northumberland County. This declarant also states that he served a short tour as a mounted man under the command of Captain Caty, which was but a short time and he did not mention it in his former Declaration and for which I set up no. He states he was in the service at the time of the surrender of Cornwallis. This declarant states that at first, he was called out for three months which he served out.  His next tour of service was seven months, which he served out. His next tour was for six months, which he served out. After that, he entered the service again for seven months, which he served out, making in the whole one year and eleven months and he served about four months over his times of enlistment and volunteering service. This declarant served the whole time in Northumberland County, State of Pennsylvania, being then a frontier. He was never in any battle. This declarant was born in the County of Northumberland, State of Pennsylvania, on the third day of January 1761, as he has always been informed by his parents. He resided in that place until August of 1796 when he moved with his family to the County of Scioto and State of Ohio where he has resided ever since
Page 7

and still resides. He is known to members of his neighbors who can testify as to his character. Among the rest, Governor Warther lived in his neighborhood at the time he served and though young, remembers of some of the service being done and his statement is herein enclosed. Isaac Bonser was also acquainted with this declarant at the time he was in the service and has been [illegible] and can testify of his service, and whose deposition is herewith enclosed. This declarant has no documentary evidence of his service; all his discharges having been lost by time and accident. He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any State.

Fruit Hill June 18th, 1833
I certify that it appears from our family records that I was born on the 14th of January, 1772, that my father removed from the place of my nativity, Duchess County and State of New York to Northumberland County and State of Pennsylvania in the early part of the year 1779, and settled in Sunberry where he remained until the year 1785. During the latter period, we were forted or driven into forts in Black houses every summer from 1779 until 1785, that I became acquainted with Capt. Grove who commanded a company of rangers who with his company made frequent excursions around the frontier settlement, that I understood from Isaac Bonser, the half-brother of Col. Uriah Barber of Scioto County, who was a schoolmate of mine at Sunberry that his brother, now Col. Barber, was in the ranger service of the United States, under Capt. Grove. I was also acquainted with Capt. Christopher Caty, who commanded a company of mounted men (Capt. Caty had lost one of his legs and had a wooden leg). I also understood that Uriah Barber served in Capt. Caty's mounted company, they were often at my father's house, and from circumstances related by him, I have no doubt of his being one of that company. I have served in the Ohio Legislature with Major Isaac Bonser, the half-brother of Col. Uriah Barber, and have ever believed him to be a gentleman of truth and veracity, and such has ever been his character.

Personally appeared in open Court Isaac Bonser, aged sixty five years and being sworn according to law upon his oath, says that he was born and brought up in the same neighborhood with the said Uriah Barber, who has made the foregoing declaration for a pension and although some years younger than the said Uriah Barber, yet he well remembers of said Barber going into the service several times and of his returning home. He further states that he thinks from his own knowledge of said Barber's age that he is seventy-two years old as he calls himself and that he was a soldier of the revolution as he has stated in his declaration, and he remembers of his having served the several times and periods as therein stated. He also states that he has lived in the same neighborhood with said Barber ever since he came to the State of Ohio and knows of his own knowledge that he is the same person who did the duty.

On his return home sometime in September or perhaps October, as he is unable to remember distinctly the precise time, in 1778 he enlisted into a company commanded by Captain William Morrow in the County of Northumberland aforesaid for seven months and was mustered and served in a Regiment commanded by Colonel Robert Hartley on Continental establishment, served out his time and was after about eight months, after his enlistment honorably discharged, which discharge is also lost. Soon after said enlistment, the Regiment was ordered up to build Fort Wallace, situate on the Susquehanna in the County of Northumberland, which he helped to build and finish, also about in the first part of the enlistment, perhaps the latter part of September or the first of October 1778.

Gentlemen:
I am unable to trace a complete record of my grandfather's.
Knowing that you must have his war record at your place, I will consider it a great favor if you give it to me.
Uriah Barber was born Jan. 3 or 5, 1761
Died June 27, 1846.
Was buried with military honors at the City of Portsmouth, Scioto, Ohio, a Revolutionary soldier and received a pension.
He enlisted in the war in Pennsylvania.
Did he ever receive distinction? 
In Oct. 1781, he married Miss Barbara
Page 30

Clingman, and there were ten children born in this union. On Oct 5, 1805, he married Miss Rachel Baird, and eight children were born to them.
The fifth child, William E., born Aug 6, 1817, is my father. Some of the dates may not be just to the day as I have taken them from the old family Bible and the ink has become very pale and with the aid of a magnifier, it is almost beyond reading.
Trusting that you give this your earliest attention, I am,
Very respectfully yours
Miss Emma Barber,
