Michael Dowdell, of the Rifle corps of the first Pennsylvania regiment he believes that being under age and an apprentice his mother with the assent of his
captain, hired a substitute in his place. this was about three months after his enlistment - this enlistment was at Little York Pennsylvania -
That about the middle of June 1776 there was a battalion march from York County, Pennsylvania, under the command of Col. Doleson [likely Donelson], that he was attached to a company of Light Infantry, commanded by Capt. Bailey - from York we marched to Lancaster, from thence to Philadelphia where we remained in the barracks three weeks, from thence we went up the Deleware in sloops to Trenton, where we remained about two weeks, during which he assisted to make horse shoe nails in the shop of Howell, to shoe the horses belonging to the army - from Trenton we marched to Princeton, thence to Brunswick, and from thence to Woodbridge near Amboy - from thence to Elizabeth town, where we remained in the barricks about a month, whilst here some of our own battalion, were determined to return, but Gen. Putman stood up on a barrel of whiskey, in an orchard before the door of the
barracks, and made a speech, which had the effect of determining all to march on - some of our militia were disatisfied because the Col.
Donelson had resigned and returned home - from Elizabeth town we marched to Newark which he thinks must have been in August [page ends]
Page 5

1776. from Newark we marched to the North river below Kings bridge, to prevent the enemy landing from their ships, which we done - from thence we returned to the Hackensack and Pas[s]aiac rivers, and next day went to Bargen-point, where we remained untill some time in September - here the Flying camp was formed, in which he volunteered to serve, under Capt.

That soon after joining these troops we were marched up the North river to near Fort Washington, that whilst here by some of the militia returning home to York county, he was pursuaded to return home, and finish learning
his trade - that he hired a substitute by the name of Simmons, and returned home he thinks about the month of October 1776-
That in the month of March 1780. at Gettes' tavern in York now Adams County Pennsylvania, he enlisted as a private soldier with Capt James Mackey, for one year that he recollects the names of John White, Jonathan
Neely, James McElhaney and Robert McCorkle were enlisted in the same company - that he cannot recollect the name of the regiment - that this company and other companies were engaged in taking refugees and tories - that about the first of July we marched to Lancaster, thence to Philadelphia, thence to Trenton, thence crossed the Rarit[a]n at Millstone, from thence we went to the North river near Kings bridge thence down the river to Powles hook, and soon after joined the regiment commanded by Col. Thompson, as well as he can recollect - that he thinks it must have been in December 1780 we crossed the North river, some in boats and some over Kings bridge - that the troops went into winter quarters at a small village, on the road that led out towards Ticonderoga, not more than twenty miles from the north river - that whilst here he was very ill and about six weeks before the expiration
of his enlistment he was discharged by Capt. Mackey who gave him a written discharge, which he lost or mislaid in the year 1811 -

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your request for information relative to Peter Hammer, a Revolutionary War soldier who was born in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, August 19, 1757, and died April 18, 1838.
The data which follow were taken from papers on file in the pension claim, W.5699, based on the military service of Peter Hammer.
Peter Hammer was born August 19, 1757, in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.  The names of his parents are not shown. When six years of age, Peter Hammer moved to New Jersey and after living there three years he moved to York County, Pennsylvania, where he lived until he was twenty-seven years of age.
He enlisted at Little York, Pennsylvania, in 1775 and served as private with the Pennsylvania troops as follows: in 1775, about three months in Captain Michael Dougel's company in a rifle corps regiment; from about the middle of June, 1776, until sometime in September, 1776, in Captain William Bailey's or Bayley's company in Colonel Donelson's regiment; from September, 1776, until sometime in October, 1776, in Captain Christian Stake's company
in Colonel Swope's regiment; from March, 1780, a little over ten months in Captain James Mackey's company and during a part of this time was in Colonel Thompson's regiment; in the fall of 1782, two months in Captain John O'Blannis' company.
From York County, Pennsylvania, Peter Hammer moved to Frederick County, Maryland, where he lived four years when he moved to Fayette County, Pennsylvania. After living there eight years he moved to Allegany County (state not given) and after living there for five years he returned to Fayette [page ends]

Peter Hammer was allowed pension on his application executed August 28, 1832, at which time he was living in Monongalia County,

which time she was sixty years of age and was living in Marion County, Virginia.
In 1853, said Sarah was living and she was referred to as the widow of Peter or John P. Hammer but the soldier signed in person in 1832 as Peter Hammer.
In 1829, it was stated that Peter Hammer had twelve children by his first wife and four by his second wife but the names of the children were not given.
The name of the soldier's first wife and the date of this marriage were not given and the papers in this claim contain no further discernible family data.

XI. Has the applicant obtained the evidence of a clergyman and another respectable citizen as to their belief respecting his age and the general belief in his neighborhood relative to his revolutionary service?
No Clergyman

XII. If the clergyman's affidavit has not been produced, is there any reason assigned for not obtaining it?
No

XIII. If the applicant has no documentary evidence, and has not obtained the testimony of at least one living witness, has he stated in his declaration that such proof cannot be had?
No.

And is the official character and signature of the magistrate certified by the proper officer under his seal of office?

XV. Does it appear from any of the papers that the witness was in such a situation, or of such an age, as to have a personal knowledge of the applicant's service? yes.

XVI. Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct? yes

XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not so answered? 1, 2, 3, 5, + 7.

EXPLANATORY NOTES.
Quere V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words:
"Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &e. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades: For _ year _ months and _ days. I served as a _. For _ months and _ days, I served as a _; and for such a service I claim a pension."
Page 43

3

It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which the applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable.

QUERE XIV. Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and the line to which be belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.

QUERE XVI. Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticated the papers is not written on the same sheet of papers which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the end of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.

1st day of August 1829
To his Excellency General Andrew Jackson

President of the United States of America
Honorable Sir,
With sentiments of the highest respect, we your memorialists, citizens
of the United States, congratulate your excellency on your elevation
to the Presidential Seat, with our best wishes, that these may as usual find your health good, your honour excellent, your wisdom perfect & your influence in that elevated post great. Showing an example to the people of the East and the world, that noble spirits are to
be found in the West, worthy to superintend and protect the rights
and liberties of a free and great people.
We your memorialists do herein wish to represent to your excellency the
hard case of some of the Soldiers of the revolution, who fought for what
we now enjoy. We the more especially make free. To speak of the hard case
of a soldier to your excellency, because we know you are well acquainted with what a poor Soldier in actual service to
undergo.
We would instance that Peter Hammer, a soldier of the revolution
now residing in Monongalia County in the State of Virginia, who is
said to have been married to wife by whom he had twelve children
which wife dying, he married a second wife now living with four children
the youngest of which children by his last wife, is only four years old
whose only means of support is from the labour of said Peter Hammer, who is a Black Smith, but from his great age, now upwards of Seventy years, he is able to provide but a precarious support, for such
a family.
He has applied for a pension as other soldiers of the revolution has
done, but without success. His papers has been sent to the department, where applications are made by pensioners, and your excellency can by having them examined see whether he has had justice done him which thing we hope your Excellency will cause to be done.
He has proved that he had a discharge but has lost it.
He has been sworn himself to the services by him done in
Page 48

in that memorable War, which we believe ought to have be taken
as sufficient evidence, the more Especially, when we consider the
almost and in some cases the quite impossibility of proving it
in any other way.
We have taken the liberty to represent the said Peter Hammer
Case to your excellency, to show you one of those hard cases which
is endured by that class of men who spent their primeina
prime cause, and which government
has been pleased to reward
in some, but has left others in so hard a case that although
their services done are equal yet they can never get at it.
We would represent, that we believe that the oath of a Soldier of the
revolution, who has not rendered himself incredible, by having
notoriously taken a false oath, ought to be all the evidence
required by law at the distance of time.
We would represent, that the said Peter Hammer, is and has been
during our acquaintance, a uniform Republican and friend to
his Country. To whose fidelity we know of no exceptions, and to whom
we do believe on oath full credit
ought to be given.
