Before me the subscriber One of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas for said County personally appeared Daniel Van Etten aged sixty five - years a resident of Delaware Township in the County of Pike aforesaid who being duly sworn deposeth and saith that he was well acquainted with Phillip McCarty late of Dingman Township in said County deceased (whose widow Polly McCarty is now about to make application for a Pension) for a period of thirty five years up to the time of his death which took place on the first day of January in the year Eighteen hundred and thirty two. Deponent further states that he has been acquainted with Polly McCarty the widow of the said Phillip for a period of forty years having lived a near neighbor to her during that time and that since the decease of her husband Phillip McCarty she has never intermarried but yet remains his widow.
Deponent further states that he recollects distinctly when he was a boy that the said Phillip McCarty came to his Father Johannes Van Etten who was a Captain in the Pennsylvania Militia during the Revolutionary war and demanded his pay for services as a soldier in the Revolutionary war. Deponent's Father offered to pay the said McCarty if he would take Continental Money. Phillip McCarty refused to take that kind of money alledging that it was of but little value and left my Father's House in a passion. Deponent

was quite young when this conversation took place but from the earnest and spirited manner of the said McCarty in demanding his pay for his Revolutionary services deponent has never forgotten the circumstance
Deponent further saith that in conversation with his Father and Other Revolutionary Soldiers he has often heard them say that the said Phillip McCarty was a Revolutionary Soldier and served in that war and that it is now and has been since deponent's knowledge of the said McCarty reputed & believed in the neighborhood that the said Phillip McCarty was a Revolutionary Soldier, and deponent further saith that he firmly believes that the said Phillip McCarty served in the revolutionary war as a soldier for a period of one year at least - Deponent further saith that his Father Johannes Van Etten has been dead for many years.

Deponent further saith that soon after the first Pension law was passed by Congress the said Phillip M c Coarty made application to him for his assistance to obtain a Pension for the said Phillip M c Coarty for his services in the Revolutionary war as a soldier. Deponent was satisfied that the said Phillip M c Coarty had served in Revolutionary war as a soldier but in consequence of his having at that time some property and was not in necessitous circumstances deponent informed him that he could not obtain a pension at that time. Deponent further saith that the said Phillip M c Coarty was reputed and believed in the neighborhood to have been a soldier of the Revolution

Madam:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W.3278, it appears that Philip McCarty, while a resident of Northampton, which was later Pike County, Pennsylvania, enlisted and served as a private with the Pennsylvania Troops as follows:
In 1777, six months under Captain Harker and was in the battle of Germantown; in 1778, four months in Captain Johannes Van Etten's Company in Colonel Jacob Stroud's Regiment; in 1779, five months in Captain Johannes Van Etten's Company; in 1780, three months in Captain Van Etten's Company in Colonel Jacob Stroud's Regiment; and while engaged in scouting for Indians, he received a rifle shot wound in the shoulder.
He married, January 22, 1788, in the Dutch Reformed Church in Deer Park, Orange County, New York, Polly Van-demerk.
He died, January 1, 1832, in Dingman Township, Pike

County, Pennsylvania.
On account of his service in the Revolution, his widow, Polly, was allowed pension on her application executed August 11, 1845, at which time she was a resident of Dingman Township, Pike County, Pennsylvania. In 1848 she was eighty-six years of age.
The Revolutionary War records of this bureau fail to afford any information in regard to Jesse or Frederick Jesse McCarty.
Respectfully,

Dear Sir
Your Letter of the 9 th instant relative to the application of Polly M c Carty for a Pension came duly to hand. I supposed that there was sufficient Evidence to warrant you in granting a pension for one years services of her late Husband, at least - I have seen the widow on the subject and she instructs me to say that if she can be allowed for six months services of her Husband, she will be satisfied as she cannot expect to live but a few years at furthest and this small allowance would enable her to get the necessaries of life while she continued to live - I do hope that you will have no difficulty in making this allowance

J S Edwards Esq. Dear Sir
I inclose to you the Declaration of Polly M c Carty the widow of Phillip M c Carty asking for a pension for services of her late husband in the Revolutionary war. She has stated that her husband served under Captain Harker. I have recently understood that Captain Harker's Christian name was Daniel and that he was a Captain of the Militia of Sussex County New Jersey during the war of the Revolution. It may be that he was a Captain in the Regular Army - I wish you to examine the Records in your Office in relation to Captain Harker. It may be that Captain Harker has made some Memorandums and sent them to Washington which would aid you in investigating the Widows Claim. You have in your possession a Memorandum Book kept by Captain Connell of Sussex County New Jersey which may show something relative to Phillip M c Carty's services - I wish you to refer to that also. There are but two Revolutionary soldiers now surviving in Pike County one of whom

Frederick Shaff served in the war in the State of New York & New Jersey and did not come in this County until many years after the war he knows nothing about McCarty's service the Other Samuel Helm has knowledge of some of McCarty's services but I understand that Helm has made some statements which has which has injured his standing at the Pension office, I therefore did not deem it advisable to get his affidavit until I heard from you whether or not it would be received. we regard Mr. Helm in this County as a man of truth and I have no doubt if he has made any misstatements he has been imposed upon. Trusting that you will be enabled to allow the widows a pension
I Am yours

Mrs Polly McCartney claims for 18 months Service of her Husband
The objection to granting a Certificate for the whole time is to be that the Pa militia was only called out for 2 months at a time
I do not think the objection will be founded, but still am not certain
It seems to me however that a Certificate could with propriety & justice be granted for 8 or 10 months - That is for two months in each tour and I think that 4 months ought to be allowed for the first six months tour mentioned, at the Battle of Germantown
If however the sum d should differ with me and refuse to grant a Certificate for 10 months Service I will accept for the old Lady in consideration of her poverty, the a Certificate for 8 months Service, that is for 2 months each tour, the same having been heretofore offered to me

Hon. Commissioner of Pensions, Washington D.C. Sir:
As atty for one of the children of a Mr. McCarty a Revolutionary Soldier in 1854 I applied to your Department for what was supposed to be unpaid balance due Mr. McCarty. I forwarded proofs of marriage, kinship & service left in due season that McCarty was a pensioner but he had drawn his pension up to the time of his death. The grandchildren now want a sort of

family history written up but I cannot find a scoop of any correspondence with the Depart- ment or data in the case.
The children are all dead & grand children only know the family name. not first name. They think he died about 1830, where he had lived many years near West Point, New York.
He enlisted near that place & served through the Revolutionary war & drew his pension & died for the service.
I want full name. Regiment & the fact that he drew a pension for service with honorable discharge.
A great granddaughter wants the evidence to show she has a right to draw them a

daughter of the Revolution.
How can you help me my correspondence with the the Department in 1884/1885 possibly could identify the Mickelby. I am willing to pay any charges for search & information.
Very truly yours John Moore
P.S. He was of course in one of the Regiments from New England G.M.
