HENRY WHITEMAN S. 7881 BA-J/MLB
Mrs. Dallas Carter Akers 181 Greenwood Avenue East Orange, New Jersey
Dear Madam:
The data herein were obtained from the papers on file in claim for pension, S. 7881, based upon service in the Revolutionary War of Henry Whiteman.
Henry Whiteman was born in 1759, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; the names of his parents are not given.
While residing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he enlisted in August, 1777, served as private in Captain Lesher's company, Colonel Smith's Pennsylvania regiment, was in the battle of Brandywine and acted as guard at the battle of Germantown and was discharged soon after that battle having served a tour of two months. He enlisted in Chester County, Pennsylvania, served two months as private in Captain Anderson's company, Colonel Andrew Boyd's Pennsylvania regiment, was in the battle of Chestnut Hill and in this tour took prisoner a British guard whom he carried to General Washington and was presented $5.00 by him in recognition of his bravery; he was discharged in December, 1777. While he was serving that tour, his father moved to Berks County, Pennsylvania, to which place the soldier went after being discharged. He enlisted July 1, 1778, at Reading in Berks County, Pennsylvania, served two months as private in Captain Sebastian Miller's Pennsylvania company in an expedition up the Delaware River against the Wyoming Indians, was in an engagement with them at "Cook House", in which seven Indians and one white man were killed and three Indians taken prisoners and sent to the East Town jail, after which he was sent to a place called Minisink to guard the frontier settlements and was discharged about September 1, 1778, and returned to Berks County, Pennsylvania, from which he moved in the fall of 1780, to Augusta County, Virginia. He enlisted there in December, 1780, and served as fife major in Captains Thomas Hicklin's and Jacob Warwick's company, Colonel Sampson Matthews' Virginia regiment, stationed at Dismal Swamps near Portsmouth, Virginia; during this tour he was in several skirmishes with the British and was discharged in March, 1781, after having served three months, then returned to Augusta County. He enlisted there in

He returned to Augusta County, Virginia, about September, 1781, and soon after enlisted and served as private in Captain Ewell's company, Colonel Dabney's Virginia regiment was at the surrender of Cornwallis in the battle of Yorktown, after which his company was sent to Portsmouth where he assisted in leveling General Arnold's batteries, thence to Princess Anne County, Virginia, against the Tories. Captain Ewell's company in which the soldier was still serving was then sent to Richmond where he was engaged in guarding continental stores and was discharged March 9, 1782, after having served on this tour six months.

Sir
I find upon an examination of Henry Whitman's statement as given to Mr. Singleton in Sept 1834, that some discrepancies present themselves, calculated to produce an unfavorable impression as to the merits of his claim. Mr. Whitman, as repeated by Mr. Singleton, is made to say that he "was born in Philadelphia in the year 1759; resided in Pennsylvania until he was upwards of fifty years old and then removed to Va."
He alleges to have performed three terms of militia duty in Pennsylvania previous to the year 1780, at which time he says he " removed to Virginia " being then 21 years old; and that he performed three terms of service in Virginia, amounting to eleven months.
One of these statements must be erroneous: if it is true that he lived in Pennsylvania until he was fifty years old, he certainly could not have performed the alleged service in Virginia. Before the merits of the claim can be finally examined, this discrepancy must be removed.

I suppose Mr. Singleton in copying his report from his note, made the mistake, - and used the word fifty in the room of twenty years old etc

Yours states my proof here-tofore was insufficient to obtain my full pay Mr. McCoy was not my agent had no right to make any contracts or settlements but Mr. Camden was.
