About the year 1825
my great grandfather - Peter Kinnan
applied for a pension for the
benefit of a widowed daughter
the pension was granted, and
I am writing to inquire what
rank he is accredited with
on his pension record
He joined the Continental
Army early in 1776 and from
July to September of that year
Page 19

he kept an order book (still
in possession of the family) of
the orders from headquarters to
the various companies - including
the battle of Long Island, the retreat
to White Plains etc.
Abott 1777 he was made Deputy
Quartermaster of the County of
Bergen and evidently served in
that department until the close
of the war. Gen. Moore Furman
mentions him several times
in his "Letters"
Any information you can
give me in regard to his
Page 20

military service, or his rank will be
most gratefully received.

In 1835 a pension
was granted to Peter Kinnan
at the rate of $240 per annum,
dating from March 4th 1831. He
died April 23 1836. On January
3rd 1843 the pension was increased
to $480.00 and later to $600.00
This pension was applied for
in order that Mr Kinnan might
assist a widowed daughter.
Page 23

Will you kindly inform
me what rank he held in the
Continental army? When serving
under Gen. Moore Furman he
was a Deputy Quartermaster with
the rank of Captain, but from old
private records and also from the
size of his pension I should
judge he attained a higher rank.
Also may I ask if you can
give me any record of the
military service of Frederick
Fine who was a Forage-master
in the County of Bergen N.J.

Dear Sir:-
On Jan'y 30th, 1843, there was an application made by
the heirs of Peter Kinnan for a pension which was allowed for two
years actual service as Assistant Deputy Quartermaster General in
the Revolutionary War. A part of the time was served under Col.
Moore. I understand that he also served under Col. Ephriam
Martin, Col. Philip Van Courtlandt and Gen. Hurd, and was located
at head quarters in the city of New York and kept the daily record
of orders including parole and countersign. As to these
facts I have his autograph minute book kept at the time.
Will you kindly send me a copy of what record you have
in the department relative to his services and as to what statements
were made at the time the pension was applied for and the
names of those who applied? I ask for these particulars not
with any intention of making any attempt to strike the United 
States government, but simply for information that I want in re-

Sir
In your letter of the 10th Nbr, in the case of
Peter Kinnan you informed me: "I shall look into the
case of Elizabeth Lockwood, and if I find that an increase
of pension has been improperly allowed. I shall have the
pension stopped."
I had anticipated you would have [illegible] me the
result of the review of the evidence upon which Mrs Lockwood's
pension was increased. And would have beg leave to state, that
Mrs Lockwood in 1842 [illegible] her claim to my charge and
refer you to your letter of Oct 1. 1842. Subsequent to this,
Mr Addison acted as her agent, and he informs me, that
no additional testimony has ever been presented by him
in the case: Except the evidence from the Department
of State [Illegible] Lambert Lockwood, pay to have been $160
per month, which was admitted by yourself. and [illegible]
Crump to be sufficient: & the increase was therefore granted.
While upon this subject, I take the liberty to refer to
the case of Math. Williamson Act 1832. N. Jersey roll, His
pension was augmented to $600 pr annum (as I am informed
by the agent in the case.) Upon a Shewing, by an original
paper, or by a certificate from the Secretary of State of New Jersey,
that said Williamson was paid $160 pr mo. for his services as an
assistant Dep. Quarter Mastr Gen.
Persons who have intrusted to my agency their claims
Page 51

for like services are extremely dissatisfied in my not
getting their cases allowed at the same increased rate, as has
been granted to other agents.
I have therefore, to request that you will be kind
enough to inform me whether you now consider the allowances
in the cases of Lockwood, and Williamson, as having been
property, or improperly allowed, If the latter, you will
be pleased to favor me with your reasons for a departure
from your late decision, so, that I may transmit a copy
of your letter to those whom I represent.
I remain yours

Sir
In your letter of the 9th in the case of Peter Kinnan
deceased, the promise assured against the allowance as I
understand, is that the grade he held was not equal to
that of Lambert Lockwood, and with the view to enforce
that opinion; I am referred to your letter of March 16. 1843.
I grant, that letter argues against the claim, but still stronger
objection was made to the allowance in your letter of April 20. 1843.
In pursuing the case you will discover, that an appeal was
made from your decision in May 1843. You was then overruled
by the Secretary of war, and the evidence from the Department
of State, was decreed sufficient to show the service performed was
military, the increase claimed was allowed by him, or
perchance, Secretary Porter did not admit the claim. upon
the evidence adduced: then it must have been admitted
by yourself. Notwithstanding your letter of March 16. 1843 to
which I am now referred.
I venture the expectation, that after an examination
of the evidence exhibited from the Department of State, you will
admit that Peter Kinnan is returned as assistant Dep. Q M. Gen
and paid at $140 pr month in 1779. And in the identical same
term as expressed in the case of Lambert Lockwood, who never
claimed a high grade then assistant D. Q M. General.
But to show that Kinnan, performed a more responsible
duty under the same appointment as Lockwood, I beg to
refer you to the "Book of claims (American State Paper) page 173 in
a report made to congress by the Treasury Department in Jany
1795. upon certain claims. We find the name of Peter Kennan
among those officers of high grade, who issued certificates
Page 54

The report in giving the rank or grade of persons named
in the 4th class States that "Peter Kinnan was assistant to
Moore Furman Deputy Q. M. Gen for the State of New Jersey."
[Illegible] thus called your attention to the evidence
and decision, admitting the grade of Kinnan equal to that
of Lockwood, and the further evidence above referred to. It
must, therefore, be evident, under your settled and advised
decision in the case of Lockwood being entitled to $600 per annum.
because the transcript from the Washington papers when he was
paid at $160 pr mo. applies with equal force and justice in
the one case as in the other.
I hope, no further obstacle will be waged against
the alowance claimed.
I remain Sir

In the case of Peter Kinnan decd whose 
representatives claim an increase of his pension as Deputy
Quarter Master General, I am to inform you that he never
asserted that he held that Office.
He claimed to have been appointed by Quarter
Master General Biddle, as a Deputy Quarter Master and
was allowed therefor; but upon an examination of his
accounts filed by him, it would appear that his was a
civil employment upon "Salary. If his claim was now
presented, for the first time, it would not be allowed
although his vouchers exhibit evidence of trustworthiness
and good service in a civil station of the Army, not the
less meritorious because it was not rendered under a
military appointment, which is necessary to bring his
case within the act of 7 June 1832.

Sir
As attorney in fact for the surviving children
of Peter Kinnan deceased late of New York whose name was
inscribed on the revolutionary pension roll as an assistant Deputy
Quarter Master at the rate of $240 per annum, under act June
1832. I beg leave respectfully to present to your consideration
a claim recently asserted by the children of said Kinnan for
an augmentation of his late pension to the rate of $740 per month
on the ground, that as an assistant Deputy Quarter Master Gen. in
the war of the revolution he was entitled to receive that rate of
pension,
By reference to paper marked No 1. you will perceive the
Comissioner of Pensions rejects the claim to an increase for the
reason as he alleges "upon an examination of his accounts
filed by him it would appear that his was a civil employment
upon Salary." On the receipt of the Genl letter March 16/?
the undersigned addressed a note to Commissioner requesting an
examination of the Washington papers deposited at the Department of
State relative to the service of Peter Kinnan in the Quarter
masters Department: for the result of the research. I beg to refer to
his letter No.2. in which the commissioner of Pensions there
to his opinion that Peter Kinnans service was in a civil
capacity. I would here ask leave to state that in reply to
the communication made to the department of State, the
commissioner of Pensions was furnished with a certified
copy taken from the report made to the commander in
Chief of the army or to the Board of war by Moore Furman
Esquire. An acknowledged Deputy Quarter Master General. And by
reference to the resolution of the old Congress [14 May 1777 page 129
Vol 11 resolution the 19th] we find the following. that
Page 58

the Quarter Master General, with the approbation of the same
commander in chief or commander in any separate Department
shall appoint a competent number of Deputy Quarter Generals
a wagon Master General &  .. and to make a return to the board of
war, of the names of the persons so appointed." In my mind this
resolution that Moore Furman Esq." in a return of the names
of persons employed under him in the Quarter Masters Department
in the year 1779. Heads his report with the name of
Peter Gordon Assistant Deputy Quarter Master general, and
in the same report follows the name of Peter Kinnan
assistant Deputy Quarter master General_ and others all paid at
140 per month wages, etc and likewise a return of Wagon Masters:
In compliance, it will be observed, with the resolve of Congress
before refered to, but argue the commissioner the certificate
from the State Department does not change the view he first
took of the case: This decision surprises me the more in as
much as it is admitted that under the same documentary
evidence as advanced in this case_ The commissioner has
heretofore always considered as good ground for a favorable
decision_ as in the case of sd Peter Gordon and Mr. Sickels_
[Illegible] is to this point Sir, to which I have most respectfully
to solicit your attention_ and with a view to bring the Subject before
you as summary as possible, beg to refer you to paper marked
A. June 16. 1842. A letter in reply to an application made
by the undersigned in behalf of the heirs of Peter Gordon decd
late of New York who was also an assistant Deputy Quarter Master
General.  [Two words, illegible] to paper before mentioned marks. &
we find the commissioner regrets a further allowance or increase
in the case of Peter Gordon. "unless it be clearly shown by documents
evidence that he was an assistant Quarter Master General."
And by reference to letter B. July 6. 1842. you will here perceive the
Page 59

Commissioner accounts the case not at $50 as Qr Master_ but
at the rate of $40 pr month as claimed_ as an assistant Dept
Quarter Master General: The nature of the evidence upon which
Gordon's case was admitted was documentary and "closely
shew" to the satisfaction of the commissioner. This evidence was
a transcript from the report made by Moore Furman Esqr.
(furnished by the Department of State) that said Gordon was
appointed and held the office of assistant Deputy Quarter
Master General. And with a more particular eye to the fact.
I would with great deference to the commissioner beg that you
will compare the certificate from the Secretary of State in the
case of Peter Gordon's and Peter Kinna's grade and pay
as assistant Deputy Quarter Master General's under Moore
Furman Esq. both the [illegible] were pensioned on the New York
roll act 1832. And you will find these cases to be paralell
in every particular according to the certificate and agreeably
to the returns before mentioned: Peter Gordon's heirs received
at the rate of $40. and Peter Kinnan who performed the same
service received over $20 pr mo. His heirs are now applying
for the same allowance granted to Peter Gordon and all
other assistant Deputy Quarter Masters, and why a discrimination
is made in two cases I cannot conceive, unless the Commissioner's
vigilence has influenced his opinion to the prejudice of my
constituent.
But should the commissioner fall back on the ground
that influenced his decision, not when the case was admitted
but when an increase is asked Not because from the account
[two words, illegible] Kinnan it appear he charges $140 for his services,
will not avail as evidence against a military employment
becausee this class of officer being [illegible] were necessarily
objects to State accounts or charges and expenditure. [Illegible] the
Page 60

applicants first declaration under oath. He states he was
appointed a Dep. Quarter Master by Clement Biddle Esq. Dep.
Quarter Master General (a continenal officer). had doubts still
[illegible] in the mind of the commission as to a military
Capacity. The evidence from the Sec of State, and from the
Register Office Treasury department, shows we judge have
been conclusive as to the fact of Kinna's employment
having been a military one. Similar and satisfactory
certificates were aduced in the case of "Peter Gordon".
I have endeavored Sir concisely to present the view I
enterer, First, then the oath of the applicant as to his appointment should 
_____ be respected: Second, that the certificate from the State
Department should be considered as evidence, and Thirdly. that
the certificate from the Register Office Treasury Department, in
Connection with the other evidence should [illegible] it show that the
services of Peter Kinnan as an assistance Dep Qtr Master Gen
was in a military capacity. The point which I beg to [illegible]
for your consideration is simply, whether the documenty
evidence in support of the claim is to be considered as sufficient
to establish my [inserted:] constituent's claim as asserted to wit in a military
Capacity
[Illegible] submitting the case with fear I
remain Sir

Sir,
The case of Peter Gordon has been examined
This claim was allowed in Feby 1833, on what was called
traditionary evidence, and a very liberal allowance
was made. There is no satisfactory proof that he ever
held an appointment in the Quarter Masters Department,
and if he did it is not probable that he served long
enough to entitle him to such a pension as now claimed.
Before any increase can be granted it must be clearly
shown by documentary evidence that he was either an 
assistant Deputy Quarter Master General, or a Deputy Quarter
Master General.
I am respectfully

Sir,
The claim presented by you on behalf of
Elijah H. Gordon, son of Peter Gordon decd has been examined.
The claim is for an increase of pension on the
ground that Peter Gordon served as Assistant Deputy
Quarter Master General. It is admitted that he
performed the alleged service; but it is not admitted that
he was therefore entitled to a pension of $50 per month,
He is entitled to only $40 per month A new certificate
will be issued, as soon as the old one shall have been
returned to this Office.

Very respectfully

Mr. A. D. Hiller
Dear Sir
Thank you very much for
your letter of Aug. 31, and pardon my
delay in acknowledging it due to absence
from home.
I note you are uncertain of the
name of one of Peter Kinnan's daughter
She was the widow of Richard Terhuen
(not Zerhuen)
If useful in the records, I can
assure you the following facts are
authentic according to records in Trenton,
Page 64

New Brunswick and Perth Amboy N. Jersey.
Also an order book kept by Peter Kinnan
from July 7th 1776 until Sept, 4th 1776
has been continuously in the possession
of the family and a year ago was privately
published by his grandson H. E. Kinnan.
The first order is dated headquarters July 7th 1776.
and orders "150 men properly officered to
go the next morning to Kingsbridge." As
that is the upper part of Manhattan Island
it is evident the headquarters were in
New York, and later orders record the
battle of Long Island. - It is evident
that Peter Kinnan was in Gen. Heard's
brigade and in Col. Ephraim Martin's
regiment when he began transcribing
the orders - and it appears to have been
his duty to attend daily at headquarters
Page 65

to transcribe the general orders including the
pass word and countersign, so they could be carried
to the individual regiments - The last entry
in the book is dated Sept. 4th 1776. Attached to
the back cover is a pass permitting a man & wife
to pass to Parasmus by order of Gen Heard - it is
signed Peter Kinnan Apr. 27th 1777, Later in that
year, as your records show he became Assist Dep.
Q.M. Gen, and remained such until close of war.
He evidently moved to New Brunswick at the
close of the war and on Nov. 7th 1785 he took the
oath of allegiance there, and was Ensign in
the Militia Regiment.
His father was Thomas Kinnan
He married Mary Fine in 1780 she died
in 1819.
Page 66

During his service in New Jersey in
the later years of the war he evidently
won the approval of Gen. Moore Furman
who mentions him many times in his
letters and orders.
Thanking you again for your
prompt and satisfactory letter -
Cordially your

In an application I made some months
since on behalf of the heirs of Marry Sickels decd late a pensioner's
widow under act 1836 on the Albany roll for an augmentation
of the amount of pension she received for the revolutionary
services of her deceased husband Thomas Sickels as an
Assistant Dep. Quarter Master in the war of the revolution
You stated in reply to the application under date the 16 June
1862 "If the claim has now to be examined for the
first time it would not be allowed," application having been
made to the Dept of State for evidence of Mr Sickels service as
an Assistant Dep. Quarter Master. a certificate was furnished which
now say "clearly shew he served two years in that grade. At
the same time a transcript was presented from the Register of the
Treasury, therein that at a late period an account was
opened on the Book of the Treasury with Thomas Sickels as
Deputy Qr Master _ but as there was no fixed period of service
the claim was only admitted on the certificate from the
State Dept that Sickels served as Assistant Dep. Qr Master.
and for such service the rate of pension allowed to the
[illegible] was increased to $40 pr ann. See your letter 6 July 1842 -
Again the surviving heir of Peter Gordon decd who was a pensioner
under act 7 June 1832. Albany agency made application
for an increase of his late Fathers pension, or the rate of $40 pr
mo: as an Assistant Dep. Qr Master Gen. in reply to the application
on the 16 June 1842. you assert the "claim was allowed on what
was called traditionary evidence" and that there is no satisfactory
Page 69

proof that he ever held an appointment in the Quarter
Master Department.
You were furnished in this case too, with Similar
evidence from the State Department that Peter Gordon was an
assistant Dep. Qr Master and paid $140 pr month. and
from a certified transcript from the Book of the Treasury
that he was settled with as an assistant Dep. Qr Master. and as
Quarter Master several years after.  On the 6th July 1842. this
case was also admitted to an increase at the rate of $40 pr ann.
as in the case of Mr. Sickels.
I now enclose you a certified transcript from the
Treasury Dep Shewing in an account with "Peter Kinnan
assistant deputy Quarter Master," charges and credits were made.
and you will no doubt be furnished by the State Department
with a statement, shewing that Peter Kinnan was returned
among the names of the regular appointed assistant Qr
Masters, and paid at the rate of $140 pr ann, indeed I believe
that Peter Gordon and Peter Kinnan Served under More
Furman in 1779. and the applicants case being parallel
with Gordon's, and Sickels, as to the appointment and Service
in a military capacity; the same allowance of Pension is
now claimed upon the same evidence as was adduced in
the cases referred to.
