Miss Janet H. Stine 44 South Gore Avenue Webster Groves Missouri
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your request for the records of Revolutionary War soldiers, Thomas and William Maybury, Mayburg, Mayberry or Mowberry, who lived in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, when they enlisted.
The Revolutionary War records of this office fail to afford any information in regard to a Thomas Maybury (searched under all spellings) who enlisted from Pennsylvania.
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, S. 41819, based upon the military service of a William Mayberry who enlisted at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
William Mayberry enlisted at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1776 as marine serving as master of arms under Captain Montgomery on board the galley, Effingham, which belonged to the flotilla stationed in the Delaware River, was in the battles of Trenton and Short Hills, having been wounded in the leg during the latter battle, and was discharged after serving two years. He enlisted in April or May, 1778, served as private in Captains Carlton's and McClure's companies in the Fourth Regiment of Continental Artillery under Colonels Thomas Proctor and Porter, was in the siege of Yorktown and at the surrender of Cornwallis and was discharged about Christmas, 1782.
William Mayberry applied for pension on September 6, 1819, in Wood County, Virginia. The claim was allowed.
In March, 1820, he was living in Wood County, Virginia, aged eighty-two years, and was referred to as William Mayberry, Senior. He then stated that his wife (name not given) was aged sixty-three years and that his only child, a son (name not given), had not lived with him for twenty-five or thirty years.
Did not say that this is only soldier named Wm. Mayberry who enlisted from Pa. as there is a Wm. Mayberry b. 41807, enlisted in N.Y., who served with this soldier and could be his son. (See S)

In 1820 one William Mayberry, Junior, testified in Wood County, Virginia, relative to the Revolutionary War service of William Mayberry, Senior, and stated they served together during the Revolution, relationship not shown.
In 1820 George Mayberry testified in Wood County, Virginia, in regard to the Revolutionary War service of William Mayberry who was his brother.
William Mayberry, Senior, was living in Muskingum County, Ohio, in 1824 and stated that he had lately moved there from Virginia.

That he again enlisted in April or May 1778 at the Valley Forge, in the state of Pennsylvania, in the Land Service for Three years or during the War, in a Company of Artillery commanded by Captain McClure (that he received the bounty from Col o Proctor and took the Oath before a W o Paskill) of the Fourth Regiment of Artillery under the command of Col o Thomas Proctor, in the line of the State aforesaid on the Continental establish- ment that he continued to serve in said Corps, & in the Service of the United States until about Christmas in the year 1782 when he was discharged from Service at Philadelphia in the state of Pennsylvania, that the discharge which he received was given to Col o Porter to enable him to obtain land to which this affiant was entitled for the services rendered as aforesaid. That he was in the battles of Elizabeth Town, at Short Hills of Trenton, and at the Siege of York Town when Cornwallis and his army were captured and that he is in reduced circumstances and stands in need of the assistance of his Country for support, and that he has no other evidence now in his power of his said Services. That he applied on the 6 th September 1819 for a

William Mayberry
Witness my hand:
At a Court held for Wood County at the Court House thereof on the 8th Day of March 1870
That day William Mayberry came before the Court and made oath to and subscribed his Declaration of Service made with the War of the Revolution and that same being examined together with the several Witness produced in support of the facts therein stated. It appears to the satisfaction of the Court that the said William Mayberry did serve in the Revolutionary War against the Common Enemy as stated in the said Declaration and that he is now reduced Circumstances and standing in need of the assistance of his Country for Support. And it appears to the Court that the said William Mayberry did make oath to and subscribed a former Declaration on the 6th day of September in the Year 1819 before the Court for the purpose of ob- taining a Pension under the late Act of Congress. See of which is ordered to be certified and transmitted together with the said Declaration to the Secretary of the War Department for submission to the Act of Congress aforesaid
In testimony that the foregoing is a correct transcript from the Records of said Court James H. Allen Clerk has hereunto set his hand and affixed the seal of my office the 5th Day of April 1870
