Sir: -

In response to your recent communication you are advised that a
careful search has been made and the name of Gus Coffroth has not
found upon the Revolutionary war pension or bounty land records
ile in this Bureau.
Conrad Coffroth made an application for pension on November 20,
1823, at which time he was 61 years of age and residing in Franklin
County, Penna., and his pension was allowed for three years' actual
service as a private in the Maryland troops, Revolutionary war. Place
of his enlistment not stated. He served under Capt. Reynolds and Col.
Gunby. Date of his death can probably be ascertained upon application
to the Hon. Auditor for the Interior Department, Treasury Department,
this city, giving the above data together with the following:
Cert. No. 19146; Penna. Agency; Act of 1818; commenced Nov. 20, 1823.

Gentlemen:
Will you kindly furnish me with
all the information you have concerning
Conrad Coffroth, who was a fifer in the
Maryland troops, Revolutionary War.
He got a pension in 1823. I would like also
to know the date of his death, if you have
it or when his pension ceased, and also
if his widow got a pension after his death
or not, and if so, for how long.

At the same time would you kindly
see if your files show anything in regard to
Gus Coffroth, father of Conrad Coffroth,
who, family tradition says, was a Lieutenant
in the American Army and was killed in the
Battle of Brandywine.

To Department of Interior,
Supt. Bureau of Pensions.
Washington, D.C.

Dear Sir:-
I am seeking information relative to my Revolutionary ancester ┃
Conrad Coffroth and his wife, I thought possibly that you
might be able to assist me in a few details, I made application
for membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution Society,
April 15 - 1927, My Sister, Mrs Fannie Coffroth Humphrey,
who lives with me, has been a member of the D & R 29 years,
My first cousin, Mrs Edmona Coffroth Scull, who now lives at
the Hotel Schenley in Pittsburgh Pa, has been a member of the
DAR about 28 years
I thought possibly when Conrad Coffroth applied for a pension
on Nov 20-1823, that he would be required to give the full
name of his wife, and the names of his children, Conrad
Coffroth had two sons John and William,
Conrad Coffroth died Feb 21-1831, his wife died during the
Year 1835
One of the important items that I must furnish, is the full name of
Conrad Coffroth's wife,
When my sister, Mrs Fannie C Humphrey, applied for membership in the DAR
she merely stated that Conrad Coffroth had married a Miss Snoterly,
and her application was accepted, my cousin Mrs Edmona C Scull

U.S. PENSION OFFICE
DEC 14 1927
Page 26

gave her name as Mary Snoterly, wife of Conrad Coffroth, Her
application was accepted, I gave the name of Conrad Coffroth's wife
as Magdalene Snoterly, Coffroth. Considering that neither of
us three gave the same name for Conrad Coffroth's wife, my application
was held up for further investigation,
We have a letter from the Supt of the United Brethern Church, 
Cemetry, at Greencastle Franklin County, Penna, giving the inscriptions
on both tomb-stones,
Our Father, Conrad Coffroth died Feb 21- 1831, Age 68 years, 6 months,
12 days
Our mother, ( ) Magdalene Snoterly, wife of Conrad Coffroth
died in year 1835, in the 69th year of her age.
You will observe that the Supt who furnished these inscriptions on the
tomb-stones, has failed to give the month, or the date, of the death
of Conrad Coffroth's wife. I think he was equally careless in giving
her full name as was shown on the tomb stone, omitting the name
Mary, before the name Magdalene, I think her full name should
read, Mary Magdalene Snoterly, wife of Conrad Coffroth,
Conrad Coffroth had two sons, John and William, John was my
grandfather. He married Mary Magdaline Besore or Bayshor, as
the family name was written in this family Bible, which was destroyed
in a fire at Somerset Pa, many years ago, John Coffroth died Jan
23 - 1854, and his wife died May 9, 1869, both are burried at Somerset
Pa
I am also asked to give the marriage date of John and wife, but
on account of their family Bible being destroyed, I will not be able
to furnish that information. Please note copy of letter -
Page 27

attached from H Clay Evans, Commissioner of Pension Bureau
Washington D.C. of Sept 2-1897, with reference to Conrad Cofforth
being allowed a pension for three years actual service as a fifer in the
Maryland Troops, Revolutionary war,
I note that Conrad Coffroth died Feb 21- 1831, his wife died
during the year 1835, or about four years after her husbands
death. If she drew any pension for his services, after his death
you would have a record of her full christain name, which I now
think should read Mary Magdalene Snoterly, Coffroth, That is all
I want to complete my application papers
Considering that my application has been on file since April 15- 1927
I am said they will drop my application on the time limit of
six months, An early reply will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely
Mrs. Alice M Horney,
47. North Washington Ave
Columbus, Ohio.
