Lemuel Tingley, W.4831 BA-J/MCS
Mr. Ben F. Dixon 6008 Arosa Street San Diego, California
Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your request for information relative to Lemuel and Nathan or Nathaniel Tingley who served in the Revolutionary War and John Tingley who, you state, received a pension for service in the War of 1812.
Revolutionary and War of 1812 data furnished by this office are obtained from claims made to the United States for pension based on the military service of soldiers in these wars. A careful search of the records fails to show such claim on file on account of the Revolutionary War service of a Nathan or Nathaniel Tingley or on account of the War of 1812 service of a John Tingley.
In the event that John Tingley may have received a state pension, it is suggested that you consult the archives at the capital of the state in which he served.
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, W.4831, based on the Revolutionary War service of Lemuel Tingley.
The date and place of his birth and the names of his parents were not given.
He enlisted at Mendham, New Jersey, in May, 1778, and joined the army June 5, 1778, served as private in Captain Jeremiah Ballard's company in Colonel Dayton's New Jersey regiment, was in the battles of "Crosswich" and Monmouth and was discharged March 5, 1779.
Lemuel Tingley was allowed pension on his application executed April 23, 1818, at which time he stated he was aged fifty-seven years, one month and eight days and was living in Clarence, Niagara County, New York.
See Heitman, page 84

In 1823 Lemuel Tingley was living in Erie, Erie County, New York. In July, 1831, he was living in Sussex County, New Jersey, and he stated that he had recently moved there from New York State.
He died November 11, 1846, at Mount Olive, Morris County, New Jersey.
In 1820 Lemuel Tingley stated that his wife, Olive, was fifty-eight years of age and he referred to his stepson, James Chase aged eighteen, and to his children, Samuel Tingley aged thirty, Joseph Tingley aged fifteen, Benjamin Tingley aged thirteen, Reuben Tingley aged eleven, Emry Tingley aged seven, and Jacob Tingley aged nineteen. In 1821 Lemuel Tingley referred to his son, Levi A., aged nine years. In 1823 he referred to his son, John.
Lemuel Tingley married March 4, 1841, Miss Martha Hunt, in Frankford Township, Sussex County, New Jersey.
She was allowed pension on her application executed April 14, 1853, while living in Frankford Township, Sussex County, New Jersey, aged sixty-eight years.
The papers in this claim contain no further data relative to the family of Lemuel Tingley.
Very truly yours

State of New York. One County of...
On this third day of June 1825 personally appeared Samuel Kingley resident in said County aged 62 years who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the provisions made by the acts of the 18th of March 1818 the 1st of May 1820 and 1st of March 1825. That he the said Samuel Kingley enlisted for the term of nine months in the month of April or May 1778 (this deponent cannot recollect which of the above named months or on what day of the month) in the State of New Jersey in the company commanded by Captain Samuel Williams in the regiment commanded by Colonel Dayton in the line of the State of New Jersey on the Continental Establishment that he continued to serve in the corps until the 5th day of March following 1779 when he was discharged from the said service in Elizabethtown in the State of New Jersey. And I do solemnly swear that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the eighteenth of March eighteen hundred and eight and that I have not since that time by gift sale or in any manner disposed of any property or any part thereof with intent thereby to diminish it as to being rightfully within the provisions of an Act of Congress entitled "An act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval forces of the United States in the Revolutionary war" passed on the 18th day of March 1818. And that I have not nor has any person in trust for me any property or securities contracts or debts due to me nor have I any income other than what is contained in the Schedule hereto annexed and by me subscribed except clothing and bedding - viz. 7 sheep worth $7. 1 sow & 7 pigs $5 1 gristmill knife $4 16.00 1 small ash bed 75 cents 3 chairs (old) 75 1 Table $1 2.50 Cups and saucers 25 cts Looking glass $1. Shovel & shovel $1.50 - 2.75 1 old faddle (worn out) $2. 1 old fiddle $5. 1 pail 25 cts - 5.25 2 mst barrels 75 cts ea. $1.50 - 1 pr. bed yards $1.50 3.00 29.50 Samuel Kingley
That I owe to different individuals at this time about the sum of $200. as near as I can ascertain. That when I appeared before the court of common pleas of the county of Niagara on the 8th day of June 1820 I understood only $20.50 debts due by me and by mistake I neglected to inventory four debts on which I was security for others & which I have since become liable to pay

That my occupation is that of a farmer but from ill health and the effects of a wound I received in the Revolutionary war I am unable to support myself without the assistance of my country. That my family consists of my wife Olive aged about 62 years infirm and unable to support herself. Joseph my son aged 18 Benjamin 16 Reuben aged 14 Levi aged 11 Jacob aged 25 James Chase my step son aged 22 Samuel aged 32. That James Chase Samuel Kingly & Jacob Kingly above named have left me and gone to look out for themselves. That Joseph Kingly & Benjamin Kingly my sons above named I have agreed to put them out to learn a trade. That I appeared before the Court of Common Pleas in and for the County of Niagara on the 18th day of June 1820 for the purpose of being continued on the pension list roll and that I again appeared before the said Court on the 22nd day of November 1821 for the purpose of being restored to the pension list roll. That the article of land which I
inventoried on my first application before the Court of Common Pleas in June 1820 has since expired and in consequence of my not fulfilling on my part the interest which I then had in the land covered by said article has expired and ended and the land now belongs to the original proprietors and they have a right to sell the same to whom they please. I inventoried 20 sheep. I have since disposed of all except 7 for the purpose of supporting my family in the following manner viz 20 Green 6 sheep in the years 1821 & 1822 Red money paid the farm to clothing & cards & garments & blacksmithing - Martin Lewis 1 sheep - in the year 1822.
