State of Pennsylvania County of Indiana } S.S.
On this twenty fifth — day of March A.D. 1833. personally appeared in Open Court before the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas in and for Indiana County in the State aforesaid in the sitting of John Kintner a resident of Washington Township in said County of Indiana in the State of Pennsylvania aged about Seventy-eight years who being first duly sworn according to law, did on his oaths make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed 7th June 1832.
That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers & served as therein stated.
That in the year 1794 Declarant resided in Upper Paxton Township Lancaster County Pennsylvania & was drafted in a Militia Company commanded by James Clarke. Philip Kleobacker was Lieutenant when the Company marched but was broke when the army lay near White Marsh for misbehaviour in firing off a gun — — Benyhill was Ensign & I presume thinks his Christian name was Andrew. The Company assembled at the Wicket South in Lower Paxton Township & marched to Lancaster. When the Company was attached to a Battalion which I presume thinks was commanded by a Major Wilson & I presume will recollect that the Regiment was commanded by Colonel Robert Elder of Lower Paxton Township. by direction of General Armstrong From Lancaster the Regiment marched through Downingtown across the Schuylkill to near White Marsh where we joined the army & was there attached to Genl. Potter's brigade for about ten days. When we were attacked by Genl. Howe's brigade & remained under his command until he was taken prisoner. Declarant was detached on Picket Guard & stationed at White Marsh Mills where the action of White Marsh commenced & continued at the Mills until the afternoon when they were relieved by a guard of regulars. When the regiment was marched along with Howe's brigade at the time under command of Brigadier to a place between Washington Army & the enemy & had commenced making fire to cook their rations when an alarm gun was fired followed by a second & a third. When the Brigade was removed & posted upon a high hill all night. & the next day was marched back to the old encamping ground near White Marsh on what was called by the soldiers, Hutton's hill. and a day or two afterwards several of the Militia Companies were discharged. Among which was Captain Clarke's Company. & I presume received a muster discharge from Captain Clarke which is attached to this Declaration. Declarant was out two months in this service.

That between Christmas & the last of December 1778. Deponent was again drafted in Upper Paxton Township Lancaster County in a Company of Militia commanded by Captain Nathaniel McClure the Lieutenant name was — Rowland — Deponent thinks there was no ensign. The Company met at the barracks in Lancaster & the Company was charged with the care of the public Stores & Magazine & continued there two months — having served a full tour Deponent did not receive a muster discharge nor does he know of any given any of his comrades — supposes that he could have got one by asking for it — That Deponent believes he was in the falls following perhaps the month of October 1779. When Deponent was again drafted in Upper Paxton Township Lancaster in a Company commanded as before by a Captain Smith — William Dickey was Lieutenant & the Company was attached to a regiment commanded by a Colonel Klotz who lived in the Tulpehocken Settlement. The Regiment marched through the Crooked Hill towards some town on the Delaware above Philadelphia — Deponent does not know the name of the town — he cannot recollect — but thinks they called it Newtown — When the Regiment was to get away within four miles of the place it was ascertained that Army could not be had — the men were dismissed with orders to be in readiness at any moment when called upon within the time of their tour — but they were not called upon again —
That in the month of July 1780 — Peter Kintner a younger brother of Deponent was drafted in a Company of Militia commanded by Captain Johnston & Deponent volunteered in his place — Captain Montgomery who lived in Lower Paxton Township was Lieutenant the Company was marched to Sunbury in Pennsylvania on the Susquehanna — The Company was stationed at Fort Rice — Deponent was detached with a Sergeant Guard and stationed at Fort McMahon on Chillisquaque while there was occasionally detached on scouting parties against the Indians but did not see any — they remained stationed at the Fort between five & six weeks when the previous facts & the Captain marched the Company home — The Company was discharged it being considered as a two months tour but it was a few days short of being in service two months — Deponent did not ask nor receive a muster discharge from his Captain — That he has no other Documentary evidence than the papers referred to to prove his service & he knows of no person whose testimony he can procure to testify to his service.
That he hereby relinquishes every Claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present allowance that his name is not on the pension roll in agency of any state —
Sworn to & subscribed in open court the day & year aforesaid
