Dear Sir, In an effort to trace a war record of one Nicholas Kinner or Kemner, who served in the Revolutionary war, I am writing you for what information you may have. He was from the state of Pennsylvania but I do not know the Co., from which he enlisted from. He received a pension as did his wife after his death as I hear. He was a great, great, grand father of mine and I want his record in order that I may join the M. A. R. The name has been given me as spelled 3 different ways. "Kinner, Kemner, and Kinner."
Thanking you in advance
I am Yours Respectfully Mrs. Fannie E. Ertel. Rushville, Ind. R. # 10.

Dear Sir: Do your Revolutionary War records show the name of Nicholas Kemmer? Family tradition is that he was a member of the Boston Tea Party and that he did signal service in the war that followed. Was at Yorktown when Gen. Cornwallis surrendered and saw the two Generals in conversation after the capitulation.
Nicholas Kemmer was born (date unknown) in Germany & came to this country when 18 years old. Was married to Sarah Phöler in Lancaster County, Pa. after the war. Later moved to Kentucky and thence to Posey Township,

Indiana where he died in 1839. Was the father of 8 children.
I am seeking to prove my eligibility to the Daughters of the American Revolution. Any information will be very much appreciated.
Yours very truly,

Sir,
Your letter of Oct. 9, requires evidence of the length of service of Nicholas Kimmu, or Keimer, whose widow claims a pension, before it can be granted. You will find enclosed two certificates of the Auditor General of Pennsylvania as to his service.
You also require evidence to show that Sarah Kimmu, who claims pension, is the mother of the children whose names are contained on the record on file in the Pension office. This evidence will be furnished as soon as it is received.

Sir,
Enclosed please find claim of Sarah Kimmer, widow of Nicholas Kimmer, deceased, who was a Pensioner under the Act of 15 th May 1828, for a Pension. The original certificate of pen- sion granted to said Nicholas Kimmer, N. 726, and Power of Attorney are annexed.
Be pleased to act on this claim as early as practicable.
Yours respectfully A. M. Gangevin Atty.

Washington City D.C. Nov. 13, 1887
Sir - Enclosed you will find the additional evidence required in the application of Sarah Kimmer, widow of Nicholas Kimmer, deceased, for a Pension.
In regard to the variation in spelling the name, (Keimer instead of Kimmer) it may be necessary to state that Nicholas Kimmer, the deceased Pensioner, was a good German Scholar, but did not write English. In the German, as every one acquainted with the two languages is aware, the German name is spelled and pronounced Keimer ; but in English it is pronounced Kimmer . In fact, it may be said as a general rule that there are no two words which are spelled and pronounced precisely alike in both languages. The certificate under which Nicholas Kimmer drew his Pension was spelled Kimmer , although he wrote his name in German Keimer .
Your early action on this claim is respectfully requested.
Yours truly Adolf Langewer Atty
Adm J E Heaton Com of Pensions
