Dear Madam:
The data furnished herein relative to George Goble
were obtained from papers on file in pension claim,
R. 4076, based upon his military service in the War of
the Revolution.
George Goble was born May 36, 1750, place not
stated, nor were the names of his parents given.
He enlisted in Morristown, New Jersey, sometime
in November, 1775, served as a private in Captain
Silas Howell's company, Colonels Alexander's (Lord
Stirling) and William Winds' First New Jersey regiment,
marched to Albany, New York and there joined the expedition 
to Quebec, length of service one year.
He was allowed pension on his application executed 
May 23, 1818, at which time he was a resident
of Minisink, Orange County, New York.
George Goble married February 18, 1779 in Florida,
Orange County, New York Juleaner (Juliana) Wisner. She
was born January 2, 1762, place not stated, nor were the

Sir,
In the case of Julian Goble decd, widow
of George Goble, I have to inform you that
children, as such, are not provided for by the
pension laws, but may become the recipients
of any unpaid amount that may have been
due their parents at his or her death.  It appears
that Mrs Gobles death took place prior to
the passage of the act of 4th July 1836.  Consequently there
could have been nothing due her under that act
at the time of her death.  The claim is, therefore
rejected there being no Law whatever, by which
this case is embraced.
