On this twenty sixth day of Novem ber Anno Domini one thousand eight hundred and thirty two personally appeared in Open court before the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas of the County of Montgomery aforesaid now sitting John Winter, senior a resident of Upper Providence Township in the County of Montgomery aforesaid, formerly of Berks County in said State aged seventy six years, who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7. 1832. That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers and served as herein stated. He enlisted or engaged as a private in Captain Crowell's company of Riflemen, belonging to Col. Hallow's Regimen- t, attached to the Flying Camp in the Pennsylvania line, at Sulphur Rock in Berks County aforesaid the be- ginning of June 1776, for six months, and marched immediately with said company to Reading Pennsylvan- ia thence to Amboy, New York and Long Island and was in the Battle of Long Island in August 1776, in which battle Captain Crowell and several of the men, were taken prisoners by the British. Declarant was marched from Long Island to White Plains in the same company under General Hand and was in the Battle of White Plains the latter end of October 1776, under Genl. McDougal. After the Battle of White Plains, crossed the North River, and marched down the river to a small run above the Hackensack, where we remained till Fort Washington was taken in November following, after which we marched through New Jersey to Princeton & Trenton, under  General  Hallow , with - Col Hallow's Regiment.

and returned home the last week in December 1776. Declarant went out again as a private in Captain Conrad Loggers Company of Tulpehocken militia (Berks county aforesaid) commanded by Lieutenant George Wm. Locher the beginning of June 1777, remained a short time in Reading (then Marched to Whitsonack, then Philadelphia) in Montgomery county. Capt Weisers company was then attached to a detachment of fifty men sent to guard the American Congress from Philadelphia to Lancaster Penn a in the month of September 1777. Captain Weisers company was attached to Col. Findermaths Regiment Pennsylvania militia until they united with the detachment sent to guard the Congress to Lancaster. The company and Declarant returned to White- marsh in November 1777, and remained there a- bout one month, when they returned home about Christ- mas in the said year 1777. Declarant went out again in the service of the United States as a private in Capt. Housers Tulpehocken Reading and Reading Militia Pennsylvania aforesaid, under Major Brims. The begin- ning of June 1778, and remained out in the service till about the 4 th of August when the Declarant returned home. About two weeks after his return he marched out again with said company under Captain Houser and Major Brims, as a private, from Reading through Bethlehem & Easton to the North corner of the State of Pennsylvania, to defend the people against the Indians. There was three companies of Pennsylvania Militia under Major Brims & some Continental soldiers. Captain Miller was = commanded, the other companies of Militia we remained at the North corner of the State about two months after we arrived there, when we returned home, and arrived at home the latter end of November 1778.

Declarant was a citizen of Berks county Penn- sylvania when he entered into and performed the military service above mentioned. He was in the service as above stated about six months and a half in the year 1776, also about six months and a half in the year 1777, and about five months and a half in two engagements in the year 1778. Declarant has no eviden- ce of his services in 1776, except that of John Shorne, whose deposition is annexed, and no other evidence of his services in his first engagement in the year 1778— than the testimony of Michael Shaffer whose deposition is also annexed. He has made diligent search and inquiry in order to procure testimony to his services in 1777, and the latter part of the year 1778 without being able to obtain any. All his companions in arms & persons who witnessed his services in the Revolutionary war except John Shorne & Michael Shaffer, above named are dead and he has no documentary evidence. Declarant was born in Berks county aforesaid in the month of May 1756. He lived in Berks county aforesaid when he performed the service aforesaid. Where he resi- ded till the year 1800— when he removed to Montgomery county aforesaid where he has resided ever since. Declarant has no record of his age but a memorandum of his mother that he was born the 8 th of May 1756. He was enlisted for six months in the Flying Camp in the year 1776 as before mentioned, and was shifted into the service in the years 1777 & 1778 as a militia- man. Declarant served under Lord Sterling at Long Island, and under General Howe when he mar- ched from Long Island to White Plains. He never received a discharge. Declarant knows the Reverend Frederick Asman, the Reverend Mr. Wambold, the Rev. Mr. Guldin, Peter Miller, George Richard, Esq. and Dr. Brughurst any of whom would testify to his credibility.

He hereby relinquishes every claim whatsoever to a pen- sion or annuity except the present and declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of the agency of any State. Declarant has just heard that Henry Crops one of his companions in arms in 1778 is probably alive and residing in Union County. Sworn and subscribed the day and year aforesaid J. H. H. Grot. L. B. W.

That he entered the service again on or about the 1 st of Jan 1778, and left it August 4 th 1778. That he entered the service again the 15 th or 18 th of August 1778, and left it about the 28 th of November 1778, all the time as a private under the officers mentioned in the declaration. That he also went out as a substitute for Christopher Winter drafted militiaman a private, under Capt Stouse, the middle of June 1779, to go to New York State, Marched to Easton Pa.

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Christopher Winter, of Pennsylvania, the record of his son, John, whose daughter, Sophia Ann, married David Manbeck, whose son, Benjamin Franklin Manbeck, served in the Civil War, also the record of Floyd William Manbeck, his son, who served in the World War.
There is no claim for pension or bounty land on file based upon service of a Christopher Winter(s) in the Revolutionary War. Such claims are the source of information furnished by the Veterans Administration in regard to Revolutionary War and War of 1812 soldiers.
Assuming that John Winter and David Manbeck may have served in the War of 1812, those records have been searched and no claim for pension found based upon service of a David Manbeck. In order to identify the record of a John Winter(s) in that war, as much as possible of the following data are essential: approximate dates of birth and death, place of residence at enlistment and after service.
The record has been found of one John Winter, of Pennsylvania, who served in the Revolutionary War. His record is furnished you herewith.
Your letter has been referred to the proper official for reply in regard to the Civil War and World War soldiers cited above.
Very truly yours

Dear Sir
In consequence of so large a number of applications for pensions, being before the officers of the War Department, no new case would probably be taken up for many months unless there should be some interference, to induce the officers to examine it out of its order of reception. This kind of interference, was frequently members of Congress during the session, and always attended to. As our member has returned I have taken the liberty of enclosing the accompanying papers to you, with a request that would be so good as to take them to Mr Edward, and request him to give them an immediate examination. Mr E. has always been obliging to me in such matters, and I have no doubt would comply with your request in this matter.
The application is by a worthy and needy old man - He indeed is in much want of assistance of the kind applied for.
This is however not a new case. The papers, were forwarded to the War Department nearly three months ago, and returned a few days ago for further explanation and testimony, which has been procured & now accompanies the documents. This would therefore be a reason why this case would be entitled to an examination before others subsequently sent to the Pension Office. Beside there can be no difficulty in it, as the only objection has been removed, by an additional affidavit agreeably to the direction of Mr Edward.
Your attention to this will much oblige me. Present my respects to Mr. Dickens and all your family.
I remain very Truly Yours.
