Honorable J. Roland Kinzer
Member of Congress
Lancaster, Pennsylvania

My dear Mr. Kinzer:
Reference is made to your letter relative to Caspar Rupert, a soldier 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 Revolutionary War records has been made in your behalf and no record found of such claims having been made
on account of the services of Casper Hupert. The data furnished herein are obtained from the papers on file in the Revolutionary War claim for pension, W.3254, based upon the military service of Casper Hubert (the name also appears as Hubart and Hubpert but not as Hupert) in that war.
Casper Hubert was born August 9, 1759, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
He enlisted at Lancaster, Pennsylvania, about the first of the year 1776, and served at various times until 1781, on tours of two months each, at least twelve months in all, as a private under Captains John Henry and Christopher Crawford, Colonels George Ross and Adam Reigart in the Pennsylvania Troops.
He was allowed pension on his application executed November 20, 1834, at which time he was a resident of Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
He died April 10, 1842.
The soldier married July 26, 1789, at Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Magdalena Brobantine. Their marriage was recorded on the records of the German Reformed Church of said Lancaster.
Page 20

{typewritten letter}
Soldier's widow, Magdalena, was allowed pension on her application executed May 2, 1843, at which time she was aged seventy-six years and resided in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
There is no reference to children.
Very truly yours

That the said Casper Hubert served at different times as a draughted militia-man in the Pennsylvania line (military). That the said Casper Hubert done military duty as a draughted militia-man for 2 months in captain John Henry's company of the town / now city of Lancaster. That said duty was performed in the year 1776. That said Hubert stood guard at the "Lancaster Barracks", "powder House, and "Store House, for the said period of 2 months. That when the said "Hubert was draughted as aforesaid, deponent belonged to said Captain Henry's company, but that the draught did not hit him, until the year 1777 or 8, thinks 1777. When deponent was draughted out of Captain Henry's company together with the said Hubert for to do a tour of duty of 2 months in the militia, and that deponent and the said Hubert served out the said period of 2 months by standing guard at the Lancaster Barracks guarding prisoners of war the first that had been taken in America by the States.

That the said [unclear] deponent volunteered to guard about 100 British prisoners of war to some place in the Jersies not now remembers but thinks it was Elizabethtown point that they were gone about a month and discharged when deponent came back to the town of Lancaster the said Casper Hubert was again standing guard at the Lancaster Barracks guarding prisoners of war. His captain was Crawford. I don't remember wether he had been drafted or not but think he stood as a substitute. He served out his tour of 2 months when he was again discharged. That the following year, perhaps the same, deponent volunteered to take about 80 prisoners on to New York he left Lancaster and went on the Reading thence to Bethlehem thence to Easton where we [unclear] thence through the Jersies on to near New York, where our prisoners were exchanged. Our Captain I do not now remember.

Sir,
The papers in the case of Casper Hubert
have been again examined. The extract from the rolls of Capt. Henry and Crawford do not show how long the applicant served, nor has he set forth each specific tour of duty, as required by the regulations, but claims for twelve months. He alleges that he served as a
substitute for two or four months for Jacob Hubert. If he did so serve, his name should appear on the rolls, showing the period of service. The papers will be filed with suspended cases in this office
I have the honor to be
