The Quartermaster General 
Memorial Branch 
War Department
Washington, D. C.

Dear Sir:

Reference is made to your request for the Revolutionary War record of Christopher H. Embick or Embigh, served from Pennsylvania, died in South Bend, Indiana.

The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in pension claim, W. 9428, based upon the service of Christopher Embick in the War of the Revolution. This is the record of the only Christopher Embick found on file in the Revolutionary War records of this office. The name was searched under similar spellings. 

Christopher Embick was born April 7, 1756 in the "County of Conestoga", Pennsylvania. 

While a resident of Lebanon, Pennsylvania, Christopher Embick volunteered in the spring of 1776, served three months as a private in Captain Casper Snively's company, Colonel Grubb's Pennsylvania regiment. He enlisted sometime in July 1777, serviced three months in Captain Ott's company, Colonel Greenawalt's Pennsylvania regiment, and was in several skirmishes. He enlisted in the spring of 1778, served four months in the Captain Aldenbrook's company, and was stationed in Lebanon guarding Hessian prisoners, and the magazine. He enlisted sometime in July, 1781, served two months in Captain Ott's company. 

He moved from Lebanon to"Haystown", from there

Page 17


to the neighborhood, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, thence to Lancaster, Fairfield County, Ohio.

The soldier, Christopher Embick, was allowed pension on his application executed October 30, 1832, then a resident of Lancaster, Ohio, having lived there about fifteen years. He died July 23, 1837. 

The application for headstone for Christopher H. Embick is returned herewith, also a letter addressed to Mr. W. H. Longenecker, Superintendent, Department of  City Cemetery, South Bend, Indiana from Joseph L. Rafter, Director, State library and Museum, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. 

Your truly yours,

            Dear Sir
                   I read through Col Medill your answer to a previous communication by me with reference to a previous pension of this Anna Maria Embick .  You have misunderstood my letter intirely (sic) you say in yours that She was not intitled (sic) to a pension at the time of her death by reference to my communication. You will see that I did not say that she was dead, she is still living. Her husband died in the year 1837 which prevents her from receiving a pension under the law of 1856. What I (hasten?) to know is whether there has been any law (?) added since that time under which she can draw and if so can her son make a declaration for her. Her mind being so much impaired by age that she cannot go in herself. I think under the law of 1838  they made affidavit that they were married close of the last summer of the husband and previous to 1794 with the fact that she was (?) previous to the close of her husband's

Your answer to the foregoing inquiries with her thankfully read ; this is a meritorious case and she is very poor and a charge upon her friends.
