Application of the Widow of Ryneer Van Dine of New New Jersey for a Pension under the law of June 1832.
State of New Jersey
§ Middlesex County, ss. On this eighteenth day of January eighteen hundred and thirty four, before me a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas in and for said County, personally appeared Kelly Van Dine, who being duly sworn, on her oath saith, That she is the widow and legal representative of Ry- neer Van Dine, late of the County of Somerset, New Jersey, deceased - That said Van Dine was a soldier of the Revolution to the best of her knowledge and served throughout the war in the capacity of a private, in the company of Capt. Philip Freke- ston - That said Van Dine as soon after the passage of the act of June 1832, as he could, went to the Court at Trenton for the purpose of making applica- tion for the benefit of said act, and that before he could accomplish his purpose, he was taken sick at Hightstown and died on the fifteenth day of August eighteen hundred and thirty four. And the said Kelly Van Dine further saith, that she is ex- tremely poor, and in a situation of almost utter help- lessness, and therefore applies for the Pension which the law provided for her deceased husband. By the kindness of friends she is enabled to present such evidence of her late husband's services, as the Court will prove satisfactory. The said Ryneer Van Dine was born in the year 1760, as appears from a Bible record now in her possession, in the County of Somerset, and lived there all her life time. She, the said Kelly Van Dine is now in the 73 rd year of her age.
Sworn and subscribed the day and year aforesaid before me Peter P. Rumsford Judge

N. Runum Clerk

State of New Jersey ss. On the fourth day of January Middlesex County, 1834. Before me the subscriber a Justice of the Peace in for said County, personally appeared Peter Hartfat, known to me to be a credible person, whose testimony is entitled to full credence, who being duly sworn, on his oath saith, that he is a sol- dier of the Revolution, in the 74th year of his age, and is now in the receipt of a Pension for his services in the Revolution. That he was well acquainted with Rynier Van Tine, late of the County of Somerset, deceased. That he knows believes said Van Tine to have been somewhat older than himself, knew of his services in the Revolution from the commencement to the end of the war. Did not belong to the same company with him, and did not often serve with him, and cannot therefore rec- ollect his services so distinctly as to specify but a few times. He recollects said Mr. Tine performing one
1836 Summer Tour of a month in the summer of 1776, about the time that the British landed on Long Island, that they were at Bergen from that neighborhood until & watching the approach movements of the enemy; that said Van Tine was under Capt. Freckerson, to whose com- pany he belonged (his dependent belonged to Capt. Van Keith's company, next adjoining Freckerson's). He also re- collects said Mr. Tine doing another tour of a month in the summer of '77 at Elizabeth Town under his own Captain. This was immediately after the British left New Brunswick, returned to Staten Island, & was in the duty of guarding the lines. Said Mr. Tine also performed another tour of a month, to his deponent's per- sonal knowledge, in the fall of '77, at the time of the Battle of Germantown, and was at the battle of Ga- mantown. He was there also, under his own Captain Freckerson. Deponent also recollects said Mr. Tine at the time of the Battle of Monmouth, when he did ano- ther month's duty, also, he believes, under his own

Captain Mulhens. There are all the terms deponent can call to mind so as to specify them distinctly. He knows that said Van Tine did four times as much duty as he then stated, but his memory of it is only general. Subscribed thereon to the day of 1 year aforesaid

Peter D. Remond
Justice of the Peace
State of New Jersey, In this fourteenth day of Jan- u- ary 1834, before me a Justice of the Peace in and for the County of of person ally appeared Cornelius Van Horn, known to me to be a credible person, whose testimony is entitled to full faith & belief, who being duly sworn, acknowledges that that he is a soldier of the Revolution & now receiv- ing a pension as such. That he belonged in the Revolution to the company commanded by Capt Philip Mul- hens, that he well knew Reynier Van Dine, late of the County of Somerset, etc. who also belonged to the same company. That said Van Dine and this deponent were camped together, frequently, and ser- ved together throughout the war - that this also went served at least two years actual service, and gets pay for twenty three months service, the remainder of his service being as a major, for which he obtain- ed no allowance - that he really believes and has no doubt, that said Van Dine did as much duty as deponent did - that from his recollection of his own services, and from the fact that said Van Dine & he were generally, if not always, in the same class, deponent is enabled to specify that during the year 1776 said Van Dine performed not less than three months service in terms varying from 1/2 3 mos to 4 four weeks each, viz: the terms of two weeks

each, and the term of a month each, all, as he believes, under Capt Fulkerson, and in the eastern part of New Jersey, guarding the shores from the apprehended and actual invasion of the enemy. During the winter months of '76-'77 and the whole time the British were in New Brunswick, the militia was almost all out, & constantly in service. Deponent is sure that said Van Dine did not less than three months service within that period (of six months) at Raritan Landing, along the shoreline, in other places in the neighborhood of New Brunswick. His service was not performed in regular terms, it might be said to be continuous, only now and then a few moments of repose to be snatched by a few of the company at a time. These three months service was under Capt Fulkerson as deponent verily believes. During the remainder
of 1777, and after the enemy had left New Brunswick, deponent was stationed at Elizabethtown, where said Van Dine did at least two months duty in regular terms of a month each (the militia being at this time classed & regularly organized) under Capt Fulkerson. In 1778 deponent was out as usual, with
said Van Dine, and said Van Dine did not less than four terms of duty of a month each, viz: the first and fourth terms on the Elizabethtown Station, in the usual service of guarding the lines, and the other two in West Jersey at Monmouth, embracing the period of the battle there, at which Van Dine was present. These terms were all, he believes, under Capt Fulkerson, with the exception of the first, which, he thinks, was under Capt Clarke. In 1779 said Van Dine according to the best of deponent's recollection performed four terms of a month each in the Elizabethtown Station. Their own captain, this year, for some reason, probably because of a new classification of
was under Capt Clarke. In 1779 said Van Dine according to the best of deponent's recollection performed four terms of a month each in the Elizabethtown Station. Their own captain, this year, for some reason, probably because of a new classification of

The officer, did not, he believes, command them  that year . Capt Van Neute, he thinks, commanded on the first and last days, and Capt Scott and Capt 180 Jacob Van Eyck on the two others. In 1780 report 3 mo that was out at least three months, and is ena- bled to say that he was out said Mr. Pine that three months service in town of a month each, on the Elizabethtown Station, and extending to Bur- ger and the surrounding country. These lines were all under Capt Fulkerson, as he remembers, and in the or- dinary duty of guarding the lines, not having been engaged in the Springfield battle which took 181 place this year. In 1781, said Mr. Pine, in report 3 mo that really believes, from his own services, that he was out not less than three months service in town of a month each, under Capt Fulkerson, and on the Eli- 182 zabethtown Station. In 1782, he can also say, that 3 mo said Mr. Pine was out in actual service not less than three times of a month each, on the Eliza- bethtown Station, and under Capt Fulkerson. These are the services which, from the circum- stance of said Mr. Pine & himself being in the same class, and, consequently, almost always at the same place, deponent is enabled to detail for him. He feels assured that he has in no instance put down an amount exceeding what was performed, but, on several years, has unquestionably un- der-rated that amount, being desirous to say nothing in which he does not feel to be clearly right.

State of New Jersey } Be it remembered that before me the Middlesex County ss } subscriber one of the justices of the Peace in for said County personally appeared Minard Van Arsdale who being duly sworn upon his oath saith that he is a sol- dier of the revolution and receiving a pension as such and is now in the 74 th year of his age that he was well acquainted with Nyneer Van Line late of the County of Somerset and that he knows him to have been a soldier of the revolution knows of the services of said Van Line having served with him in the same company under Captain Fulkerson knows that entered the service in the year 1776 and recollects well of being out 4 yrs with him in Bergen County and remembers that in this year he served four tours of a Month each, and the next year 1777 he will 3 yrs remember that he was in the service at least three tours of a Month each; and also knows that said Van Line was not during the whole war. In the years 1778 - and 1779 he served 8 yrs in each year four tours of a Month each; was out with him in the battle of German Town in Pennsylvania in 1777, under of his jumping of a milldam. After the year 1780, remember of his being out until the end of the war, but cannot specify the time as he was then not in the same company with him. The deponent was a common man and from that circumstance had a better opportunity of seeing his neighbors and acquaintances than those in the ranks Sworn and subscribed this { Minard Van Arsdale 10 th day of January 1834 before me Peter P.

State of New Jersey } ss On this tenth day of January Middle County } 1834, before me a Justice of the Peace in and for said County, personally ap- peared Janes D Penine, well known to me as a credible person, whose statement is entitled to full credence, who being duly sworn, on his oath says, that he is in the 80 th year of his age, a sol- dier of the Revolution, and now in the receipt of a Pension as such - That he well knew Reynar Van Hine, late of the County of Somerset, deceased was acquainted with him before and during the War of the Revolution, lived a neighbor to him, knew of his services during said war, knew that he served with fidelity from the beginning to the end of the War, always in the capacity of a common sol- dier, and in the militia - did not belong to the same company with him, but to the next adjoin- ing company - recollects distinctly of said Van Hine serving a term of one month at Bergen in 1776, at the time the British made their appearance at Sandy Hook, under Capt Robarco, in guarding that shore - recollects him afterwards, in the winter of 1776-7 when the British lay in Brunswick, that he was out with the rest of the militia during the whole of that winter - performed not less than three months duty. That captain or captain, said Van Hine served under their deponent is not posi- tive, but he thinks, for own Capt. Hulke so called. Their service was along the Millstone, not in scouting about the country in the neighborhood of Brunswick. Recollects said Van Hine afterwards in the latter part of '77 at Acquackonack, where he did one month's duty with deponent under Capt Van Nest (deponent's own capt.) And also remembers said Van Hine one month at Chet- battaton in 1778 under Capt Baird. There six

the months, are all that deponent can specify, tho' he knows that said time since was out regularly the whole time.
