Mark Adams
W. 2896

My dear Mr. Kunkel:
Reference is made to your request ^ [handwritten ("by telephone" I meant to say -- F)] on this date, in
behalf of Mr. Mark T. Milnor of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, who
is interested in obtaining the Revolutionary War record of
Mark Adams who received a pension in 1819,
The record of the only Mark Adams found on the
Revolutionary War records of this office follows as shown in
the papers in the claims for pension under W. 2896 based upon
his service in that war.
Mark Adams was a native of County Derry, in the north
of Ireland; the names of his parents were not given. He left
Ireland when about seventeen years old, "say in the year 1774 August
15th ".
Mark Adams entered service in the Revolutionary War
on board the Brig "Lexington", Captain Hallock, went on the cruise
south and was engaged in the noted exploits of that cruise. He
enlisted about December 1, 1776, served as private in Captain Yates'
company, Colonel Hall's 4th Maryland Regiment until the day before
he battle of Red Bank (October 22, 1777), when he left the land
service, went on board the row galleys on the Delaware River and
continued until the boats were put into winter quarters at Trenton
Barracks. He served subsequently in the New Jersey militia and on
private armed vessels until he was taken prisoner, sent to England
and was held until after peace was restored; he did not give the
names of any officers or further details regarding these services.
He was allowed pension on account of his service in the
Revolutionary War on his application executed July 31, 1818. He
Page 24

resided in Gloucester County, New Jersey. In 1820, Mark Adams
had four sons living at home with him: Thomas who was aged
eighteen years; William, who was born February 10, 1804; Mark
who was aged thirteen years; and Joseph, who was aged nine years.
Another son, Jacob Adams was born June 14, 1794, his residence
in 1820 not stated: and a son, John Adams was born February 7, 1797.
Mark Adams, this pensioner, died October 9, 1828 or October
10, 1829 in Gloucester County, New Jersey,
This soldier married January 19, 1784, Hannah Pettit; they
were married in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, by Reverend A. J. Duffy,
Minister of the Presbyterian Church. The names of Hannah's parents
were not designated.
Hannah Adams, this soldier's widow, resided in Atlantic County,
New Jersey, in September 1840. She was then past eighty-six
years of age. She died February 10, 1841. William Adams, the son
cited above, was administrator of her estate. In 1850, he resided
in Berks County, Pennsylvania.
William Adams, this son, applied August 20, 1850 for the pension
which was due his mother at the time of her death as the widow of
Mark Adams, the Revolutionary War pensioner. He applied in behalf
of himself and the other surviving children, whose names were listed

[Righthand page:]
2nd, Sideling hill, just beyond Wild's tavern, and is seven miles across. 
3d, The Allegheny hills; these are about fifteen miles across. 
4th, The Laurel ridge, about six miles across. 
5, The Chesnut ridge, beyond Fr. Ligonier. 

There are three roads leading from Lancaster to Carlisle. 
1st, by way of York town, which is the post road crossing Susquehanna at Anderson's ferry.
2nd, By Rankin's ferry, said to be the shortest. 3d, By Middletown, the route in this table. 
If a traveller on the last mentioned road has no wish to call at Harrisburgh, he can, by crossing Susquehanna river at Chamber's ferry, save two miles. 
From Mount Rock to Shippensburgh, 14 miles, there is no run of water across the High Road. At Bonnet's tavern the road forks; the southernmost is called the Glade Road, the northernmost the Old or Forbes's Road, and goes by Ligonier : these roads unite twenty-eight miles on this side of Pittsburgh. 
From Stotler's on the Allegheny mountain, to Stoney Creek, ten miles, there are but one or two houses.

The application was made by the Widow Hannah Adams

that the widow is dec'd a short time after her application
in 1841.  I hope you will allow the claim and
issue the certificate to her to be drawn by her administration
as the children or spread about-- we will get
out letters of Administration expressly to draw this claim
they are poor people, as you will well known from the fact
that there is an executor a administrator to the estate --

the claim should be $96-

Dear Sir
Inclosed you will receive I hope satisfactory 
evidence on the point of Marriage in the case of
Hannah Adams widow of Mark Adams - he being of
pensioned in his life time.

In regard to the evidence of service, you say it is admitted
to the extent of nine months, it could not have been less
because he was pensioned under act of 1818-- Mark
Adams served I think three years in the Maryland line
under Captain Yeates -- which evidence I have no doubt you
will have access to without any trouble-- therefore I
hope you wis issue the Certificate for the whole pension at
an early date
Respectfully Yours

Inclosed you we receive the application 
of David Adams for a new Pension Certificate. Mr
Adams was a soldier of the Revolution. I knew him well, the
received a Land Warrant through me for said services.

I wrote about 35 days ago to know what objection
there was to allowing a pension in the case of Hannah
Adams Widow of Mark Adams who was a pensioner of
the U. S. for the Revolutionary service from Gloucester Co. R.I.
This claim was presented about ten years ago. I believe
by Samuel Levan of this place.  My letter on that
subject of the 4th July will explain -- I write in behalf of
her son who resides --  this old lady is the grand mother
of the above David Adams.
