Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of an Andrew Moore, who served in the Washington County, Pennsylvania Militia.
There are two claims for pension, only, on file based upon service of soldiers with the name Andrew Moore who served in the Pennsylvania Troops. Their records are given herein as found in their claims for pension based upon service in the Revolutionary War.
Andrew Moore R.7313
Andrew Moore was born June 9, 1758, in York County, Pennsylvania. The names of his parents are not shown.
During the Revolutionary War, he resided in Bedford County, Pennsylvania; he moved from there, in 1788, to Ohio County, Virginia; from there, in 1795, to Mason County, Kentucky; thence; in 1797, to the Northwest Territory, that part now in the state of Ohio; in 1819, he left Brown County, Ohio, and moved to Bond County, Illinois, and from there moved to Putnam County, Illinois.
While residing in Putnam County, Illinois, Andrew Moore applied for pension on June 6, 1836, and stated that while living in Bedford County, Pennsylvania, he volunteered early in December, 1776, served as a private in Captain Clurgion's (probably meant for Cluggage) Company, Colonel John Piper's Pennsylvania Regiment, was stationed at Princeton, New Jersey, and was discharged March 10, 1777, having served three months; that he enlisted in September, 1777, served as sergeant in Captain William Parker's Company, Colonel John Piper's Pennsylvania Regiment, and had charge of a detachment which conveyed packhorse over the mountains to Ligonier Fort, near Pittsburgh and after his return marched over the Alleghanies under Captain Parker on a tour against the Indians; length of this tour, two months; that he enlisted
He said Thomas but as there was a Capt Francis Cluggage in this Regt in 1776, omitted Christian name.

Did not sign state as I did not know whether this was a Pa or Va Captain that he enlisted in December, 1777, served as sergeant in Captain William Parker's Company, Colonel Piper's Pennsylvania Regiment; length of this service, two months, one month of which he had charge of the station at Morrison's Cove in Bedford County, Pennsylvania; that he volunteered in April, 1778, served five days in Captain William Parker's Company, Colonel John Piper's Pennsylvania Regiment, and marched up the Juniata River in pursuit of a party of men who were attempting to join the Indians; that he volunteered in June, 1779, and served four days in Captain Samuel Moore's Pennsylvania Company, marched from Moore's Station in Bedford County over the mountains to Frankstown in pursuit of Indians; that in July, 1780, he enlisted in Ohio County, Virginia, and served three days in Captain Joseph Ogle's Company and crossed the Ohio River in pursuit of Indians; that he enlisted in June, 1782, and served thirteen days as sergeant in Captain Boyd's Pennsylvania Company and again went in pursuit of Indians.
His claim was not allowed as he failed to furnish proof of service of six months as required by the pension laws.
The soldier married Elizabeth. Her maiden name and the date and place of their marriage are not shown. In 1847, she was living in Putnam County, Illinois, and stated that she was the widow of Andrew Moore. The date of his death was not given.
