Sir,
The declaration of Jacob upper has been examined. He alleges that he entered the service in July 1776 and was discharged in Sept. or Octob r following, making in all, less than four months. and that he served one other tour about one month. act of 7 June 1832 provides for none who did not serve at least six months. The act of 7 June The claim has therefore been rejected, and the papers filed in this office.
Hon. C. A. Barnitz. H. Reps.

1852 printed list of rejected and suspended claims shows, (York, York Co. Pa) cause of rejection: "He did not serve six months." Register Book of Rejected Claims has a note: "Claim missing in 1877."
I could find no record whatever as to what became of the papers in this soldier's application. As the Hon. C. A. Barnitz, Ho. of Rep., was interested in the case, the papers may have been withdrawn from the files for some congressional committee and not returned, which was done in other cases noted in searches the Rev. War records.
