ley: Und sie-he zu, was du re-dest, glau-best er vor hast. Und wirf dich nicht selbst auf, daß nicht fal-lest, und zu Schan-den wer-dest; und er Herr dei-ne Zi-eke of-fen-ba-re, und stür-ze ch öf-fent-lich vor den Leu-ten.
Dar-um daß du nicht in rech-ter Furcht Gott e-die-net hast, und dein Herz falsch ge-we-sen ist. Mein Kind, wilt du Gottes Die-ner seyn, so hi-eke dich zur An-sech-tung.
Hal-te vest, und lei-te dich und wan-ken nicht, wann man dich da-von lo-cket.
Hal-te dich an Gott, und wei-che nicht, auf daß du im-mer stär-ker wer-dest. Hat un
Al-les, was dir wi-der-fäh-ret, da-und sey ge-dul-dig in al-ler-ley Trüb-sal: Denn gleich wie das Gold durchs Feu-er, al-so wer-den die, so Gott ge-fal-len, durchs Feu-er der Trüb-sal be- wäh-ret.
Mein Kind, ge-hor-che der Zucht dei-nes Va- ters, und ver-laß nicht das Ge-bot dei-ner Mut-ter; denn sol-ches ist ein schö-ner Schmuck dei-nem Haupt, und ei-ne Ket-te an dei-nem Halse.
Mein Kind, wenn dich die bö-sen Bu-ben lo- cken, so fol-ge nicht. Mein Kind, wan-de-le den Weg nicht mit ih-nen; weh-re dei-nem Fuß vor ih-rem Pfad: Denn ih-re Fü-ße lau-fen zum Bö- sen.

Mein Kind, ver-wirf die Zucht des HERRN nicht und sey nicht un-ge-dul-dig ü-ber seine Strafe. Wer sich ger-ne läs-set stra-fen, der wird klug wer-den; wer a-ber un-ge-straf-t seyn will, bleibet ein Narr.
Wer fromm ist der be-kom-met Trost vom HERRN, a-ber ein Kuch-lo-ser ver-dam-met sich selbst. Ein gott-los We-sen för-dert den Men-schen nicht, a-ber die Wur-zel der Ge-rech-ten wäch-st.

Das 5 Capitel.
D a er aber das Volk sah, ging er auf einen Berg und setzte sich, und seine Jünger traten zu ihm.
2. Und er that seinen Mund auf und lehrte sie, und sprach:
3. Selig sind die da geistlich arm sind, denn das Himmelreich ist ihr.
4. Selig sind die da Leid tragen, denn sie sollen getröstet werden.
5. Selig sind die Sanftmüthigen, denn sie werden das Erdreich besitzen.
6. Selig sind, die da hungert und dürstet nach der Gerechtigkeit, denn sie sollen satt werden.
7. Selig sind die Barmherzigen, denn sie werden Barmherzigkeit erlangen.
8. Selig sind die reines Herzens sind, denn sie werden Gott schauen.
9. Selig sind die Friedensstifter, denn sie werden Gottes Kinder heißen.
Das 5 Capitel Matthäi.
10. Selig sind die um Gerechtigkeit willen verfolget werden, denn das Himmelreich ist ihr.
11. Selig seyd ihr, wenn euch die Menschen um meinet willen schmähen, und verfolgen, und reden allerlei Uebels wider euch, so sie daran lügen.
12. Seyd fröhlich und getrost, es wird euch im Himmel wohl belohnet werden. Denn also haben sie verfolget die Propheten, die vor euch gewesen sind.
13. Ihr seyd das Salz der Erden. Wo nun das Salz dumm wird, womit soll man salzen? Es ist zu nichts hinfür nütze, denn daß man es hinaus schütte, und lasse es die Leute zertreten.
14. Ihr seyd das Licht der Welt. Es mag die Stadt, die auf einem Berge liegt, nicht verborgen seyn.
15. Man zündet auch nicht ein Licht an, und setzet es unter einen Scheffel, sondern auf einen Leuchter, so leuchtet es denen allen, die im Hause sind.
16. Also lasset euer Licht leuchten vor den Leuten, daß sie eure gute Werke sehen, und euren Vater im Himmel preisen.
17. Ihr solt nicht wähnen, daß ich kommen bin, das Gesetz oder die Propheten aufzulösen. Ich bin nicht kommen aufzulösen, sondern zu erfüllen.
18. Denn ich sage euch: Wahrlich, bis daß Himmel und Erde vergehe, wird nicht vergehen der kleinste Buchstabe, noch ein Titel vom Gesetz, bis daß es alles geschehe.
19. Wer nun eines von diesen kleinsten Geboten auflöset, und lehret die Leute also, der wird der Kleinste heißen im Himmelreich: wer es aber thut und lehret, der wird groß heißen im Himmelreich.
20. Denn ich sage euch: Es sey denn eure Gerechtigkeit besser, denn der Schriftgelehrten und Phariseer, so werdet ihr nicht in das Himmelreich kommen.
21. Ihr habt gehöret, daß zu den Alten gesagt ist:

Du solt nicht tödten; wer aber tödtet, der soll des Gerichts schuldig seyn.
22. Ich aber sage euch: Wer mit seinem Bruder zürnet, der ist des Gerichts schuldig. Wer aber zu seinem Bruder sagt: Racha, der ist des Rathes schuldig. Wer aber sagt: Du Narr, der ist des höllischen Feuers schuldig.
23. Darum, wenn du deine Gabe auf dem Altar opferst, und wirst alda eingedenk, daß dein Bruder etwas wider dich habe.
24. So laß alda vor dem Altar deine Gabe und gehe zuvor hin, und versöhne dich mit deinem Bruder, und alsdann komm, und opfere deine Gabe.
25. Sey willfärtig deinem Widersacher bald, dieweil du noch bey ihm auf dem Wege bist, auf daß dich der Widersacher nicht dermaleins überantworte dem Richter, und der Richter überantworte dich dem Diener, und werdest in den Kerker geworfen.
26. Ich sage dir, wahrlich, du wirst nicht von dannen heraus kommen, bis du auch den letzten Heller bezahlest.
27. Ihr habt gehöret, daß zu den Alten gesagt ist: Du solt nicht ehebrechen.
28. Ich aber sage euch: Wer ein Weib ansiehet, ihr zu begehren, der hat schon mit ihr die Ehe gebrochen in seinem Herzen.
29. Aergert dich aber dein rechtes Auge, so reiß es aus und wirf es von dir. Es ist dir besser, daß eines deiner Glieder verderbe, und nicht der ganze Leib in die Hölle geworfen werde.
30. Aergert dich deine rechte Hand, so haue sie ab, und wirf sie von dir. Es ist dir besser, daß eines deiner Glieder verderbe, und nicht der ganze Leib in die Hölle geworfen werde.
31. Es ist auch gesagt: Wer sich von seinem Weibe scheidet, der gebe ihr einen Scheidebrief.

32. Ich aber sage euch: Wer sich von seinem Weibe scheidet, (es sey denn um Ehebruch) der macht daß sie die Ehe bricht, und wer eine abgescheidete freyet, der bricht die Ehe.
33. Ihr habt weiter gehöret, daß zu den Alten gesagt ist: Du solt keinen falschen Eid thun, und solt Gott deinen Eid halten.
34. Ich aber sage euch, daß ihr allerdinge nicht schwören solt, weder bey dem Himmel, denn er ist Gottes Stuhl.
35. Noch bey der Erde, denn sie ist seiner Füße Schemel; noch bey Jerusalem, denn sie ist eines großen Königs Stadt.
36. Auch solt du nicht bey deinem Haupt schwören; denn du vermagst nicht ein einziges Haar weiß oder schwarz zu machen.
37. Eure Rede aber sey ja, ja, nein, nein; was drüber ist, das ist vom Uebel.
38. Ihr habt gehöret, das da gesagt ist: Auge um Auge, Zahn um Zahn.
39. Ich aber sage euch: daß du nicht widerstreben solt dem Uebel, sondern so dir Jemand einen Streich gibt auf deinen rechten Backen, dem biete den andern auch dar.
40. Und so Jemand mit dir rechten will, und deinen Rock nehmen, dem laß auch den Mantel.
41. Und so dich Jemand nöthiget eine Meile, so gehe mit ihm zwo.
42. Gieb dem der dich bittet; und wende dich nicht von dem der dir abborgen will.
43. Ihr habt gehört, daß gesagt ist: Du solt deinen Nächsten lieben, und deinen Feind hassen.
44. Ich aber sage euch: Liebet eure Feinde, segnet
Handwritten notes on the left page: 34 IIII 526 94 93 66 50 4 24 50 40 44

die euch fluchen; thut wohl denen, die euch hassen; bittet für die, so euch beleidigen und verfolgen.
45. Auf daß ihr Kinder seyd euers Vaters im Himmel. Denn er lässet seine Sonne aufgehen über die Bösen und über die Guten, und lässet regnen über Gerechte und Ungerechte.
46. Denn so ihr liebet, die euch lieben, was werdet ihr für Lohn haben? Thun nicht dasselbe auch die Zöllner?
47. Und so ihr euch nur zu euren Brüdern freundlich thut, was thut ihr sonderliches? Thun nicht die Zöllner auch also?
48. Darum solt ihr vollkommen seyn, gleich wie euer Vater im Himmel vollkommen ist.
Das 6 Capitel.
Habet acht auf eure Almosen, daß ihr die nicht gebet vor den Leuten, daß ihr von ihnen gesehen werdet; ihr habt anders keinen Lohn bey eurem Vater im Himmel.
2. Wenn du nun Almosen gibst, solt du nicht lassen vor dir posaunen, wie die Heuchler thun in den Schulen, und auf den Gassen, auf daß sie von den Leuten gepriesen werden. Wahrlich ich sage euch, sie haben ihren Lohn dahin.
3. Wenn du aber Almosen gibst, so laß deine linke Hand nicht wissen, was die rechte thut.
4. Auf daß dein Almosen verborgen sey, und dein Vater, der in das Verborgene siehet, wird dirs vergelten öffentlich.
5. Und wenn du betest, solt du nicht seyn wie die Heuchler, die da gerne stehen und beten in den Schulen, und an den Ecken auf den Gassen, auf daß sie von den Leuten gesehen werden. Wahrlich, ich sage euch, sie haben ihren Lohn dahin.
6. Wenn du aber betest, so gehe in dein Kämmerlein, und schließ die Thür zu, und bete zu deinem Vater im Verborgenen, und dein Vater der in das Verborgene siehet, wird dirs vergelten öffentlich.
7. Und wenn ihr betet, solt ihr nicht viel plappern wie die Heiden: Denn sie meinen, sie werden erhöret, wenn sie viel Worte machen.
8. Darum solt ihr euch ihnen nicht gleichen: Euer Vater weiß, was ihr bedürfet, ehe dann ihr ihn bittet.
9. Darum solt ihr also beten: Unser Vater in dem Himmel. Dein Name werde geheiligt.
10. Dein Reich komme. Dein Wille geschehe auf Erden, wie im Himmel.
11. Unser täglich Brod gib uns heute.
12. Und vergib uns unsere Schulden, wie wir unsern Schuldigern vergeben.
13. Und führe uns nicht in Versuchung, sondern erlöse uns von dem Uebel. Denn dein ist das Reich, und die Kraft, und die Herrlichkeit, in Ewigkeit. Amen.
14. Denn so ihr den Menschen ihre Fehler vergebet, so wird euch euer himmlischer Vater auch vergeben.
15. Wo ihr aber den Menschen ihre Fehler nicht vergebet, so wird euch euer Vater eure Fehler auch nicht vergeben.
16. Wenn ihr fastet, solt ihr nicht sauer sehen, wie die Heuchler; denn sie verstellen ihre Angesichte, auf daß sie vor den Leuten scheinen mit ihrem Fasten. Wahrlich, ich sage euch: Sie haben ihren Lohn dahin.
17. Wenn du aber fastest, so salbe dein Haupt, und wasche dein Angesicht.
18. Auf daß du nicht scheineest vor den Leuten mit deinem Fasten, sondern vor deinem Vater welcher verborgen ist; und dein Vater, der in das Verborgene siehet, wird dirs vergelten öffentlich.
19. Ihr solt euch nicht Schätze sammeln auf Erden da sie die Motten und der Rost fressen, und da die Diebe nachgraben und stehlen.
20. Sammlet euch aber Schätze im Himmel, da sie weder Motten noch Rost fressen, und da die Diebe nicht nachgraben noch stehlen.
21. Denn wo euer Schatz ist, da ist auch euer Herz.
22. Das Auge ist des Leibes Licht. Wenn dein Auge einfältig ist so wird dein ganzer Leib lichte seyn.
23. Wenn aber dein Auge ein Schalk ist, so wird dein ganzer Leib finster seyn. Wenn aber das Licht das in dir ist, Finsterniß ist, wie groß wird dann die Finsterniß selber seyn?
24. Niemand kan zween Herren dienen, entweder er wird einen hassen, und den andern lieben; oder wird einem anhangen, und den andern verachten. Ihr könnet nicht Gott dienen, und dem Mammon.
25. Darum sage ich euch:orget nicht für euer Leben

was ihr essen und trinken werdet. Auch nicht für euren Leib, was ihr anziehen werdet. Ist nicht das Leben mehr denn die Speise? und der Leib mehr denn die Kleidung?
26. Sehet die Vögel unter dem Himmel an; sie säen nicht, sie erndten nicht; sie sammeln nicht in die Scheuren, und euer Himmlicher Vater nähret sie doch. Seyd ihr denn nicht viel mehr denn sie?
27. Wer ist unter euch, der seiner Länge eine Elle zusetzen möge, ob er gleich darum sorget?
28. Und warum sorget ihr für die Kleidung? Schauet die Lilien auf dem Felde, wie sie wachsen; sie arbeiten nicht, auch spinnen sie nicht.
29. Ich sage euch, daß auch Salomon in aller seiner Herrlichkeit nicht bekleidet gewesen ist, als derselben Eins.
30. So denn Gott das Gras auf dem Felde also kleidet, das doch heute stehet und morgen in den Ofen geworfen wird, sollte er das nicht vielmehr euch thun? O ihr Kleingläubigen!
31. Darum solt ihr nicht sorgen und sagen: Was werden wir essen? Was werden wir trinken? Womit werden wir uns kleiden?
32. Nach solchem allen trachten die Heiden, denn euer himmlischer Vater weiß, daß ihr des alles bedürfet.
33. Trachtet am ersten nach dem Reich Gottes, und nach seiner Gerechtigkeit, so wird euch solches alles zufallen.
34. Darum sorget nicht für den andern Morgen, denn der morgende Tag wird für das Seine sorgen. Es ist genug, daß ein jeglicher Tag seine eigene Plage habe.
Das 7 Capitel.
N ichtet nicht, auf daß ihr nicht gerichtet werdet.
2. Denn mit welcherley Gericht ihr richtet, werdet ihr gerichtet werden: und mit welcherley Maaß ihr messet, wird euch gemessen werden.
3. Was siehest du aber den Splitter in deines Bruders Auge, und wirfst nicht gewahr des Balkens in deinem Auge?
4. Oder wie darfst du sagen zu deinem Bruder: Halt, ich will dir den Splitter aus deinem Auge ziehen? Und siehe ein Balken ist in deinem Auge.
5. Du Heuchler! zeuch am ersten den Balken aus deinem Auge, darnach besiehe, wie du den Splitter aus deines Bruders Auge ziehest.
6. Ihr solt das Heiligthum nicht den Hunden geben, und eure Perlen solt ihr nicht vor die Säue werfen, auf daß sie die-

Pennsylvania } ss. Union county }
On the twenty fourth of September, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and thirty two, personally appeared in open court, before the Judges of the court of Common Pleas, at New Berlin, in and for the county of Union, now sitting, David Walter, a resident of Centre Township, in the county of Union, and state of Pennsylvania aged seventy one years, and some months, who being duly sworn, according to law, doth on his solemn 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 command of the following named officers, and served as hereafter stated.
David Walter
In the year 1778, being then in his eighteenth year, this county, the county wherein he was born and raised, then Northumberland, now Union, was overrun with Indians, who were perpetrating death and destruction wherever they went, he was called out to assist in protecting the lives and property of the settlers. We had no regular officers at this time - we acted the best way we could. Buffalo valley situated in this county, suffered more at that time from Indian depredations than any other part of the county - it was here the first and best settlements were made, and consequently more liable to Indian outrages; here (Buffalo Valley) we kept ranging and scouting about from one end to the other of the valley for better than two months - sometimes standing guard around fields, while the farmers (if they could be so called) were cutting and hauling some their grain; and at other times assisting or guarding families that were about removing, and at other times pursuing after and retreating from the Indians. In these excursions I suffered much, laying out at night and frequently suffered for the want of food - In the spring of the following year 1779, he was again called on to go with the militia, and join Captain Mull's company - I do not now recollect whether I was drafted or not, but presume I was, for at this time all that could carry arms, and could leave home had to march - Captain Mull's christian name he does not recollect, he lived in Sunbury, Northumberland county, Pa. our Colonels name was Clarke, more I do not recollect about him -

We met at Sunbury, the place of Capt. Muhl's residence, being the place of rendezvous, we lay here about two weeks, when we marched to the town of Northumberland, a distance of about two miles; we had been here but a day or two, when one night, we received news that the Indians were in the neighborhood of Fort Freeland (or Israel's), somewhere in the neighborhood of Williamsport, Lycoming county Pa. murdering and burning every thing in their way. Capt. Muhl received orders to march immediately for Fort Freeland (above mentioned) as a battle was likely expected with the Indians. We thereupon immediately set out for Fort Freeland - when we arrived there the battle had been fought and the whites had deserted the fort and fled - the Indians were also gone. The Americans who were slain in the battle were laying on the ground in the vicinity of the fort, scalped and unburied - we buried the dead and remained at the fort a short time and returned to Northumberland, the place from whence we started. After remaining a short time at Northumberland, Capt. Muhl again received orders to march for Fort Freeland - we took up the line of march and returned to Fort Freeland - we found the country desolate and what improvements had been made in ruins; a few days afterwards we returned to Northumberland where my term of service expired which was two months - I received a written discharge from Capt. Muhl, but I do not know what has become of it -
David Muhl
I was called out again in the fall of the same year 1779, I do not greatly mistake the year, and was put in Capt. Black's company, (militia) Capt. Black, also resided at Sunbury, Northumberland county, Pa. - we met at Sunbury as before, and a few days afterwards we marched up along the Muncy Hills, to Fort Boppley, I believe in Lycoming co. Pa. here we remained two months, after my term of service had expired, which was two months, I received a written discharge from Capt. Black, but like the discharge I received from Capt. Muhl it is lost -

1 I was born on the 15 June 1761
2 I have a record of my age and the above is a correct statement of it
3, 4, 5, I have answered or embodied in my declaration
6, is also answered in my declaration —

"David Walter was born in the year of Christ the 15 th July 1761."
"My wife Susannah was born in the year of Christ the 25 th July 1766."
"There is born to me a son the 10 th Nov. 1788, David." "There is born to me a son the 14 th July 1790, Philip." "There is born to me a son the 14 th Dec. 1791, Simon."

Wolf's company, and afterwards helped to bury the dead. That he does not know the name of the general, Colonel or Regiment, under which Capt. Wolf's company, (of which said David Walter was a private member) served - but thinks the records of the Department when he obtained a pension will show - And further saith not

Sir,
Inclosed
I send you additional evidence relative to the application of Susannah Walter, widow of David Walter Dec d - for bounty land warrant -
I think the testimony fully makes out the right of claim, judging from what appeared defective on a former examination - I am acquainted with all the witnesses in the case, and with most of the children of David Walter, Dec d - They are all respectable & good citizens of this county. Having lived for more than fifty years in the county of Union, & my father Geo. Weirick was Lieut. Col. who led the 39 th reg. to Monocacy Creek &c -
The old widow is poor and a land warrant, to which I have no doubt she is entitled, would come good to her declining years -

Personally appeared before me the subscriber a justice of the Peace in and for said county Christian Shambach a citizen of said county, who being duly sworn according to law saith, That he was acquainted with David Walter and Susannah his wife - In the year 1810 my father, George Shambach moved from Montgomery Berks county to Northumberland county, which being divided about the year 1813, he resided in that part called Union county - From that time, to wit, the year 1810 I first became acquainted with said David Walter and Susannah his wife - The said Susannah Walter who is applying for a bounty land warrant is the identical widow of said David Walter who was pensioned in Union county, Pennsylvania under the act, I think of 1832 - The said David Walter died on the ninth day of December A.D. 1838 - The following are the words and figures taken from his tomb stone in the grave yard situate about a mile and a half from where I reside
"Here wnt David Walter, of known Juli
Jan 15, 1761 - gattoborn Decambur Jan 9,
1838 - Oltur, 77 - 4 - 24 tag"
which being translated into english is as follows to wit: - "Here rests David Walter, born
July the 15 th 1761 - Died December
the 9 th 1838 - Age 77 y-4m. 24 days"
The said David Walter and Susannah his wife had a number of children, to wit, David Walter Jr. Philip, Simon, Frederick, John, Deetrich, George, Elizabeth wife of David Weinick, Mary (to whom I was married in the year 1816 the 2 nd day of April, had thirteen children together, and she died about twenty two years ago - Catherine wife of Mathias Sweaty, and one Maria who died when about five years of age. I have been

also been informed that they had some other children but had died before I came into the neighborhood. I reside about half a mile from Middlebury Snyder county, which was erected out of part of Union county in 1855. I have lived there since the year 1820. I was married to said Mary Walter daughter of David Walter in 1816, lived four years in the town of Middlebury and then moved to the place where I now live, and have lived for 39 years - during all which time the said David Walter and Susannah his wife lived and cohabited together as man and wife, and were so deemed and reputed by the neighbors. The said Susannah, wife and widow of said David Walter, is still living with the family with her son George Walter, and is still a widow, aged about ninety two, or 93 years of age - Often heard said David Walter say that he was drawing pension, and that David Wilson of New Berlin used to draw the pension for him -
The little book containing a record of the ages of said David Walter and Susannah his wife, and their children as testified to by George Walter, son of said David, I believe to be in the proper hand writing of said David Walter deceased, kept by himself as a family register - The said Susannah is the identical widow of the said David Walter & c - who drew a pension while living -

Dear Sir:
Under date of April 12, '35, I wrote you a letter of inquiry relative to one, David Walter , who was granted a pension in the year 1833. To this letter I have received no answer, and as I have since, that time, obtained new information concerning my great great grandfather of that name, I am again addressing you.
The State Library of Pennsylvania, at Harrisburg, gave me this data:
"Snyder county was taken from Union in 1855, and Union was taken from Northumberland county in 1813. David Walter was pensioned

from Union county in 1833. Pension to commence March 4, 1831 at the age of 73 years. Service Pennsylvania State Troops. This information relative to the pension is taken from the Report of Secretary of War 1835. You may be able to secure from the Pension Commission a more complete of his record relative to his service, and for 15 per share the Pension Commissioner will send you a photo- stat copy of each record furnished by the applicant when he applied for a pension." end quote.
These facts I now know concerning my great great grandfather, David Walter: He was born in
Northumberland county Penna. about 1758 or 1759. His wife's name is said to have been Susanna. She died in 1811.
Military record — Capt. David Walter, private in Penna. Militia.

Served in Capt. John Black's Rangers. Pensioner May 2, 1833. Penna. Archives Vol 33-541, Vol 23, Third Series, 264344, Northumberland county.
What I would like to know is:
1- Does this record of my great great grandfather agree with the record of the first named David Walter? 2- If so, does this record indicate service in the Revolutionary War? 3- Did he have the rank of captain ? 4- What is the exact date of his birth and death ? 5- What will a photostat copy of his application cost me?
If you will kindly furnish me with answers to the above questions, I will appreciate it very much.
Yours very truly.

Dear Sir:
I have been informed that my great, great grandfather, David Walter , was a soldier in the Revolutionary War and I am making an effort to uncover evidence to establish this information as a fact. Of him this is known: He is supposed to have been a resident of Northumberland County, Penn. at the time of the Revolution.
In the fifth Series of the Pennsylvania Archives where the records of Revolutionary soldiers from Penn. are found:
In vol. 4, page 696, a David Walter is listed as a private from Northumberland County. -end quote-
Of his children these names are known: Simon, born in Union County,

Pennsylvania about 1792, who wed Catherine Vogt; Philip, who wed a sister of Catherine Vogt, and Mary, who wed Christian Shambach.
I quote from a letter addressed to me by the Director of the State Library of Pennsylvania:
"David Walter was pensioned from Union County 1833. Pension to commence March 4, 1831 at the age 73 years. Service Pennsylvania State Troops. This information relative to the pension is taken from Report of Secretary of War 1835. You may be able to secure from the Pension Commissioner a more complete of his record relative to his service and for .15 per page the Pension Commissioner will send you a photostat copy of each record furnished by the applicant when he applied for a pension."
If this information is correct, does

the pension referred to indicate service in the Revolutionary War, and, also, do your records show as children of this pensioner any of the names I have given as known names of my ancestor David Walter?
Any information that you may give me will be appreciated.
Yours very truly, Lucian W. Snyder,

Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Henry Aurand or Aurandt, Francis Ditto, (John) Peter Pontius, Adam Smith, Adam Specht, David Walter, Philip and Jacob Wetzel, all of Pennsylvania.
Because of the great demand for Revolutionary War data and the limited, trained clerical force available for furnishing such information, it is impossible to make a series of investigations and reports for one person or organization. You are furnished herein the histories of Franz Dido or Francis Ditto and David Walter, the data for which were obtained from the claims for pension, W.7017 and W.6393, respectively, based upon the military service of those soldiers in the Revolutionary War.
Franz Dido W.7017
Franz Dido or Francis Ditto was born about 1758, in York County, Pennsylvania. The names of his parents are not shown.
While residing at McCollister's Town, York County, Pennsylvania, Franz Dido or Francis Ditto enlisted in the winter of 1777, for three years, served as a private in Captains John Robb's, Koby's (possibly meant for Cobea) and Jacob Stoy's Companies, Colonel Walter Stewart's Pennsylvania Regiment; he wintered at Valley Forge, was in the battle of Monmouth, was taken prisoner at Newark, taken to New York, placed in the Sugar House and held for three months when he was exchanged and returned to the army and was discharged shortly after the revolt of the Pennsylvania Line (January 1, 1781).

After the Revolution, Franz Dido or Francis Ditto moved to Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, and lived thirty years; then moved to Washington Township, Pickaway County, Ohio, and lived about sixteen years; then moved to Clinton Township, Seneca County, Ohio, where he was residing when he was allowed pension on his application executed October 3, 1833. He signed Franz Dido.
He died June 16 or June 25(both dates are given) 1841, in Eden Township, Seneca County, Ohio.
The soldier married in March, 1782, in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, Eleanor or Ellanor----- . She was born September 15, 1758. The place of her birth and names of her parents are not shown.
Soldier's widow, Eleanor, was allowed pension on her application executed February 9, 1849, while residing in Freedom Township, Henry County, Ohio.
It was stated that soldier and his wife had a family of children; the only names given are son Samuel, the first child, who died in infancy, and Catherine, born September 15, 1784, in Union County, Pennsylvania. Said Catherine married February 18, 1806, George Markley. He was born December 27, 1783. In 1849, Catherine and George Markley were residents of Henry County, Ohio. In same year, one John H. Markley was a Justice of the Peace for Henry County, Ohio; his relationship to Catherine and George Markley was not stated.
Soldier referred to a twin brother, Jacob, but gave no data in regard to him.
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, the name and address of person paid and possibly the date of death of the Revolutionary War pensioner, Eleanor Ditto, widow of Francis Ditto or Franz Dido(W.70174) you should address The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, this city, and cite the following data:
Eleanor Ditto, widow of Francis Ditto, Certificate No.5773, issued October 6, 1851, rate $60 per annum, commenced March 4, 1848, Act of February 2, 1848, Ohio(Cleveland) Agency.

Mr. Lucien W. Snyder 911 Leland Avenue South Bend, Indiana
Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letters in which you request the Revolutionary War record of your great great grandfather, David Walter, of Pennsylvania, whose wife was Susannah and children, Simon, Philip, Mary, etc. You request to know cost of photostatic copies, also, that the cost has been quoted to you as fifteen cents a page.
The cost of photostatic copies has been increased and there is a large number of pages on file in the claims for pension on file under W.6393, based upon service of David Walter above named; then, too, the papers in this claim are very old and fragile and the process of making photostatic copies necessarily injures them to some extent. Official reports from this office in regard to Revolutionary War soldiers have been accepted as authentic by various historical, patriotic and genealogical societies. A very careful examination of the papers in this pension claim has been made and the data found are incorporated in the report herewith. It is believed that this will be just what you need in your research work. If, however, this is not sufficient, the matter will be given further consideration.
It is regretted that your letter of April 12, could not have been answered at an earlier date, but the demand for Revolutionary War data is great and the clerical force available for furnishing these data is limited.
