The records of Jacob Tremper and Jacob Marriquart, pensioned Mariquart, ["pensioned Mariquart" crossed out] have been found:  these records are furnished herein as shown in the papers on file in said claims, based upon service in the Revolutionary War.

JACOB TREMPER-R. 10694.

Jacob Tremper was born in the year 1759, in Rhinebeck, Dutchess County, New York; the names of his parents are not shown.  He resided during the period of the Revolutionary War in Rhinebeck Flats in said Dutchess County; later, he resided in Esopus, Ulster County, New York, from which county he moved to Jefferson County, New York.

On September 11, 1832, while a resident of Lyme, Jefferson County, New York, he applied for pension which might have been due on account of his service in the Revolutionary War.  He stated then that he volunteered about September 1, 1776, served as a private in Captain Jacob Tremper's (his uncle's) company, Colonel Pawling's New York regiment, was stationed on the North River until the following spring, then guarded prisoners to Boston, that he was in a sharp skirmish at Nine Partners, was at Esopus when it was burned, and continued to serve until February or March 1778; that subsequently, he was called out at various times, amounting to about two months, under Captain Van Bunschoten and Colonel Pawling, at Woodstock, Painted Post and at other places, and was in the service until 1781; specific date of discharge from service not shown. He stated also, that his uncle, Captain Jacob Tremper, died in August 1777, after which Ensign Steenbar (possibly meant for Van Steenberg) was in command.

His claim for pension was not allowed as he failed to furnish proof of service as required by the pension laws under which he applied. 

In 1853, Jacob Tremper, one of the surviving children of the
Page 11

soldier, was a resident of Orleans, Jefferson County, New York.  He stated then that his father was deceased, but did not give the date of his death, nor the name of his mother or names of other children.

Very truly yours,
