Before me the subscriber one of the Justices of the Peace in
and for the county of Montgomery in the State of Pennsylvania
personally appeared Christian Moser of Whitepain Township
in said county, aged 77 years who being duly sworn according
to law doth depose and say that he inlisted as a private
soldier in Capt Edward Scull's company of infantry 
belonging to the fourth Pennsylvania Regiment. Commanded
by Col Butler, at Oley Berks County Pennsylvania
on or about the tenth day of April 1777 for three years
and marched from Oley to Reading Pennsylvania, a
few days afterward and then to Philadelphia within a week after his enlistment: went with the company
under Capt. Scull and Lieutenant Bouchter
to Trenton, and from Trenton to White Plains New York
where the American army then lay. Gen'l Wayne
and Gen'l St Clair, were then at White Plains, and
commanded the Pennsylvania Line. Col Butler
was also there. Deponent and said company remained
at White plains about a month when the 4th Regiment
under Col Butler, removed to New Jersey
above New York City. Thence marched to Philadelphia,
where we remained a short time, then to 
Wilmington Delaware from whence we marched to
Brandywine. Capt Scull resigned when the company
arrived at White Plains and the soldiers belonging
to his company were transfered to Capt Benjamin Fishburne's company of the same Regiment.
Deponent was in the Battle of Brandywine in
Capt. Fishburne's company [of the 4th Regiment of the
Penn'a Line commanded by Col Butler attached
to Gen'l Wayne's Brigade]. After the Battle of Brandywine
the Regiment & deponent retreated to Wilmington
where we remained a few days, then we
removed to Philadelphia, where we remained 
about a week. and then marched to the Trapp and 
thence to Paoli [after the British forces] under Capt.
Fishburn col Butler & Gen'l Wayne, where we lay

Page 7

two or three days, when we were attacked in the
night of 20th Sept 1777 by the British forces. The
Americans were dispersed and assembled again
next day at the Red Lion and rejoined the
American Army at the Trapp immediately after.
Deponent and the company and Regiment afterwards
marched with the American Army to Chustnut
Hill, and were afterwards in the Germantown
Battle in the 4th of October 1777 under Col Butler
& Gen'l Wayne. After the Battle the Americans
assembled at Whitemarsh and then marched 
to Skippack and remained there several weeks
and from thence marched again to Whitemarsh
and thence to Valley Forge where the army went
into winter Quarters and remained there till
June 1778. When the army marched to New Jersey.
On the march deponent was taken sick and
remained in the Army Hospital in a Barn
near New Hope where he remained about four
weeks. When he was removed to the town of
New Hope where he remained about two weeks
when he recovered and shorty afterwards rejoined
the company at the White House in New Jersey
near the North River. Shortly after the British left
Philadelphia. Deponent was afterward in the Battle of Monmouth June 28th 1778. He remained
in New Jersey during the summer and fall
of 1778 and went into winter quarters at
Morristown, where we remained till the
spring of 1779. We then marched to near West Point
where the army remained a considerable time.
The Headquarters of the American Army was
there at New Windsor. Deponent was at the
taking of Stony Point on the night of the 15th of
July 1779 and morning of the 16th by Gen'l Wayne. After
which we marched to Sandy Beach one mile from
West Point where the Brigade of Gen'l Wayne to

Page 8

which deponent and his company and Regiment belonged lay about thirteen weeks and then marched to Morristown when we went into winter quarters
and remained there till the spring of 1780. We
remained in the State of New Jersey during the
summer and fall of 1780, marching from place
to place and went into winter quarters again 
at Morristown New Jersey toward the close of the 
year 1780. And remained there till the first of
January 1781 when the Pennsylvania Line
to which Deponent belonged revolted and marched
from Morristown to Trenton. Where he was discharged
by Brigadier Gen'l Wayne the 18th of January 1781.
Deponent's term of enlistment expired in April 1780,
but he was detained in the service till the revolt.
This injust detention was the cause of the revolt,
of Deponent and others. Deponent had been in the
service as aforesaid from the time of his enlistment
to the time of his discharge three years and nine 
months and upwards. Deponent received a 
written discharge from Gen'l Wayne which was in
his possession until the 14th of November 1832
when it was attached to a Declaration made in
open court in the Court of Common Pleas of 
Montgomery County Penn'a by Deponent to obtain the
Benefits of the Act of Congress of 7th June 1832 and 
sent by mail to the War Department at
Washington City and has been lost as deponent has
been informed and verily believes as well as the
said Declaration and other papers relating to his
revolutionary services. The annexed paper marked 
A. with signature of "John Heist" thereon is a
true copy of the discharge given to Deponent by Gen'l
Wayne above mentioned. Deponent further states
that on the 14th day of November 1832 he appeared
in open court in the court of Common Pleas of the
County of Montgomery aforesaid held at Norristown

Page 9

before the Judges of said county and there made
a declaration in due form of law setting forth his
services in the Revolutionary war viz. That he enlisted
in the month of April 1777. In three years as
a private in Capt Scull's Company of Infantry Col.
Butler's Regiment being the 4th Regiment of the
Pennsylvania Line and served in said company
and Capt Fishburn's company in the same
Regiment and General Wayne's Brigade till
the 18th of January 1781. When he was discharged by Gen'l Wayne. That for in said Declaration he renounced and relinquished as he now does
all claim to a pension or annuity except this
present under the act of 7th June 1832. and declared
his name was not on the Pension Roll of the
agency of any state. He also states as he now
does, that he was born in Berks County Pennsylvania
the 10th day of February 1756. That he had no 
record of his age. That he was living in Berks County.
Was my residence or home as I considered it
while in the army. That when I was discharged
I went to Montgomery County aforesaid where
I resided ever since and now reside. That I
was enlisted and discharged as aforesaid by Gen'l
Wayne. Deponent signed and was sworn to said
Declaration in open court as aforesaid. And the said
original discharge was inspected by the Judges
of the Court and the said Judges certified their 
opinion. That I had served in the army as a
private soldier for three years and nine months
as stated in said declaration, and above, is stated: and
that the said declaration, discharge and
other papers were transmitted by mail to the
war Depart. by Daniel St Clair Esquire who prepared
and drew the declaration above mentioned
and transacted the business for Deponent in Court.

Page 10

Deponent and John Heist Esq. and others made a
search among the papers of said Dan'l St. Clair for
the said Declaration and discharge and other
papers concerning his services in the Revolutionary
war, and were unable to fine any of them.
Daniel St Clair, a few months ago & since
the said Declaration was made in court; died
Deponent further states that he is the identical
Christian Moser named in the original
certificate of which the arranged papers marked
A. is a true copy. He continued in Capt Scull's
company from the time of his enlistment until
he was transfered [sic] to Capt Fishburn's company
at Whiteplains as aforesaid and continued in
Capt Fishburn's company from that time to
the time of his discharge. And belonged to the 4th
Regiment commanded by Col. Butler, during his
whole period of service, and attached to Gen'l
Wayne's Brigade. Deponent has no documentary
evidence of his services except the copy of his
discharge annexed. And knows of no persons
whose testimony he can procure, who can testify
to his services. He served three years & nine months one [illegible]

with Christian Moser of Whitepain township in said
county and has known him from his infancy. That he
has resided near to him for upwards of 40 years.
That the said Christian Moser has always been reputed, 
and believed to have been a revolutionary soldier
in the neighbourhood where he now resides and has
resided for 40 years past. That deponent has for
two years past frequently seen an original discharge
signed by General Wayne, in the possession of said Christian
Moser. of which the annexed paper, marked A.
and on which the deponent has written his name; is a
true copy. that the said Christian Moser on or about
the fourteenth day of November AD 1832 personally appeared
in open court in the court of Common Pleas of the
county of Montgomery aforesaid and then and there
made a Declaration and proof of his services in the
Revolutionary war in due form of law, and that the
above mentioned original discharge was attached to

since died. that a dilligent [sic] search has since his
death been made among the papers of said Daniel

Declaration, discharge or any other papers relating
to the Revolutionary services of said Moser and
this deponent verily believes said papers were 
transmitted to the War Department by mail immediately
after said Declaration was made in court
and have been lost. Deponent was induced to
make the annexed copy of said discharge from
an apprehension that the original papers might

get lost by some accident. Deponent was in Court
at the time the Declaration of said Moser was
made and saw the Judges of the Court inspect
and examine the original discharge above
mentioned, and heard one of the Judges say he

D.Sir,

    You will perhaps recollect that when I was at your office on the 12th inst. I made inquiry concerning the papers in relation to the application of Christian Moser for a pension & that a long search was made by one of your clerks as well as by yourself for them without finding them and that your conclusion was that the papers were not in your office.  The only memorandum you could find was an entry on your books that the [papers had been returned sometime last summer or autumn on account of some informality.  The facts are the papers had been sent on by DL Cain Esq informally executed, last summer and were returned afterward that November Court 1832.  The Declaration was made and formally executed with the other papers required, and placed in the Post Office here, directed to the War Department and I presume lost as they are not found in the Pension Office.  The papers herewith transmitted are in support of the same application.  I know they (sic) as an original application are not regularly made, but as supplemental application I presumed they would be deemed sufficient.  I hope under all the circumstances of the case you will consider them sufficient, especially as there is not a shadow of doubt of Moser's services.  He has been so long delayed and been at so much trouble already, I desire further trouble and expense may if possible be avoided.  Our courts sit only 4 times a year sometimes at intervals of 4 months - as is the present vacation.
    I will add I shall be glad you would take up the case immediately & in case certificate be granted, to enclose the same to me at this place or to Mr. Pleasonton, for me.
    If under all the circumstances of the case, you cannot place Moser on the Pension Roll on the papers, herewith transmitted, please to have them returned to me immediately.
                                             Truly your 
                                         Jn'th. B. Stengen

Dear Madam:

    You are advised that it appears from the papers in the revolutionary War pension claim, S. 22912, that Christian Moser was born February 10, 1756, in Berks County, Pennsylvania.

    While a resident of that county he enlisted April 10, 1777, and served as private in Captain Edward Scull's and Benjamin Fishbourne's Companies in Colonel Butler's Pennsylvania regiment; he was in the battles of Brandywine, Paoli, Germantown, Monmouth and Stony Point and was discharged January 18, 1781.

    He was allowed pension on hi application executed in November 1832, at which time he was living in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, having moved to that county soon after his discharge from the service.

    In 1833 he was living in Whitepain Township, Montogomery County, Pennsylvania.

    Christian Moser died December 22, 1838.

    The Revolutionary War records of this office fail to afford any information in regard to a Chrissey Mosey and the above noted is the only soldier of similar name that is found on said records.
                                  Very truly yours

    A careful search of the Revolutionary War records has been made in your behalf and no record found of claims for pension or bounty land having been made to the United States based upon the military service in that war of a Goerge Raynols, who served from Virginia or who received pension while residing in that state, of Peter Moser or Burkard Moser.  All spelling if the surnames used in the search. 

    As a means of identifying the records of the particular soldier named George Moser, William Raynolds and William Miller, in which you are interested, should they be on file, it is essential that as much as possible of the following information be furnished: approximate dates of birth and death, places of residence at enlistment and after service and given  name of widow.
