On the 3rd day of June, Anno Domini 1845, personally appeared before me Emanuel Peck, for one of the associate Judges of the Court of Common Pleas in and for the County of Lancaster aforesaid, Magdalena Bauman a resident of Ephrata Township in the County aforesaid, aged eighty five years and upwards, who being first duly affirmed according to Law, doth depose and say, in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress of the 4th July 1836 granting pensions to certain widows, as follows.
That she is the widow of the late Philip Bauman who served as a private in the War of the Revolution.
That in the year 1776 sometime in the summer, My husband joined Captain Graff's company, (called the Flying Camp), in the borough, (now city of Lancaster) and was marched to Philadelphia. This happened about six months after we were married. Some time in December of the same year we received word at Lancaster that Graff's Company was returning to Lancaster with some prisoners, when I in company with some other women, whose husbands were also in the same company, went to meet them. We met them after walking about thirty miles down towards Philadelphia. This was the first time I saw him since he left. We then returned with the company to Lancaster and after they had safely lodged the prisoners in the Barracks & Stockades at Lancaster, My husband was regularly discharged. which was still in the same year.
In the year 1777 (in the spring) My husband was drafted for Captain Henry's Company for two months encampment to stand guard at the Barracks & Stockades at Lancaster where the British prisoners were kept, at the expiration of the said two months he was regularly discharged.
In the above mentioned year (1777) My husband was again drafted to stand guard at the Barracks & Stockades Lancaster under Captain Crawford for two months encampment, at the expiration of the said two months he was regularly discharged.
In the year 1778 (the commencement) My husband was again drafted to stand guard at the Barracks & Stockades at Lancaster under Captain Crawford for two months encampment, at the expiration of the said two months he was regularly discharged.
In the last above mentioned year 1778. My husband was again drafted to stand guard at the Barracks & Stockades at Lancaster under

Captain Grangard for two Months encampment, at the expiration of the said two Months he was regularly discharged.
In the year 1779. My husband was again drafted to stand guard at the Barracks & Stockades at Lancaster under Captain Hughes for two Months encampment, at the expiration of said two Months he was regularly discharged.
In the same last mentioned year 1779. My husband was again drafted to stand guard at the Barracks & Stockades at Lancaster under Captain Hughes for two Months encampment, at the expiration of the said two Months he was regularly discharged.
In the year 1780 My husband was again drafted to stand guard at the Barracks & Stockades at Lancaster under Captain Hughes for two Months encampment, at the expiration of the said two Months he was regularly discharged.
In the same last mentioned year 1780 My husband was again drafted to stand guard at the Lancaster Barracks & Stockades and Powderhouse under Captain Hughes for two Months encampment, at the expiration of the said two Months he was regularly discharged.
In the said same year 1780. My husband was again drafted to stand guard at the Barracks, Stockades & Powderhouse at Lancaster for two Months encampment under Captain Hughes at the expiration of the said two Months he was regularly discharged.
In the year 1781 My husband was again drafted under Captain Miller and was marched over to Lake County, but did not remain there long until he was discharged. Whether he was standing guard or not I am unable to say, as I did not go along with him. After my husband's return from Long Island in December 1778 he was in service every year until the year 1780. This I saw myself. He was very fond of a Military life, and preferred whenever they drafted him.
She further states that she was married to the said Philip Bauman on the twentieth day of December A.D. 1775 and that her said husband died in the year 1803. and that she has remained his widow ever since.
