Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the record of Andrew Engle, a Revolutionary War soldier of New Jersey.

You are furnished herein the record of Andrew Engle, the only soldier of that name found in the Revolutionary War records of this office. The data therein were obtained from the papers in pension claim, R. 3351, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.

The date and place of birth of Andrew Engle, his age, or the names of his parents were not given.

Andrew Engle died at Bulls Ferry, Hudson County, New Jersey, June 10, 1810, and was buried there. He was survived by a widow, Genet Engle, who died at English Neighborhood, Hudson County, New Jersey, December 21, 1829.

The following names of children of Andrew Engle and his wife, Genet, are shown as surviving both their father and mother:
Martha
John L. Engle
Sarah Ward, widow of Josiah Ward
Maria Lovet, wife of John Lovet
Margaret Miller, wife of Henry Miller who died prior to 1856
Andrew S. Engle
James Engle

Andrew Engle and his wife, Genet, were survived by grandchildren whose names were shown as follow:

Children of Martha, who died prior to 1856; name of her husband or her married name not shown: Margaret Rous, Maria Morris, Genet Ogden and Catherine W. Tracy.
Page 6

Grandchildren of Andrew and Genet Engle continued - 

Soldier's son, John L. Engle, died prior to 1856, leaving a widow, Polly, and eleven children whose names were not designated.

Soldier's son, James Engle, died prior to 1856, leaving neither widow or children.

Andrew S. Engle, while a resident of English Neighborhood, Hudson County, New Jersey, applied October 22, 1866, for pension which might have been due on account of the Revolutionary War service of his father, Andrew Engle. He applied on behalf of himself and the other surviving heirs of the soldier, and stated that his father, Andrew Engle, was commissioned Lieutenant in the 3d Pennsylvania Regiment, December 20, 1778; length of service and other details of same were not given.

The claim for pension was not allowed as the soldier, Andrew Engle, and his widow, Genet, both died before the passage of any Act of Congress in which they would have been entitled to pension based upon service in the Revolutionary War, hence their children were not entitled to pension.

Very truly yours
