There was a skirmish in which he was, and he was hit by a bullet on a button, which bruised him on the breast. The British were on a piece of low marshy ground where we could not well get at them. We then went to the Liberty Pole & lay there about a week & then to White Plains. He was at the Battle of White Plains. We went then over Fishkill Ferry & back to Hackensack, Brunswick, & by Trenton back to Pennsylvania and at Cornwall Ferry one time was out, and we came home. In a short time after that, Washington took the Hessians. This time he was six months' in service.
In 1777 in August he went into service as a substitute. Henry Shasmoke & one Morgan hired this substitute. His brother to go in their place . Sarah Whetstone was the Captain. John Crawl was a lieutenant. The others he cannot remember. We went to Philadelphia, Wilmington, and were ordered to Brandywine, & he was in the battle of Brandywine.

Dear Sir, I have a son in the Marine Corps, and who is eligible for membership in the Society of Sons of the American Revolution. He greatly desires him to become a member before he goes to France, the time for which is, as you are aware, rather uncertain. So I am writing to request that you kindly see to it that a matter pending your Bureau be expedited to the limit, in order that no more time may be lost on it.
In 1904, a family relation received from the Pension Bureau a statement of Revolutionary War service of Adam Bieber (Beaver), who enlisted from Berks County, Penna. And I wish a certificate of that nature, so that it may be on official basis for my son's application.
About ten days ago, I sent a copy of the 1904 statement to the Bureau, but nothing has come from it unless it is en route. So my anxiety to obtain results quickly induces me to address you.
Then, as possibly you may recall, a Putnam County, Fifth District resident, and my son is thus far the only man who enlisted from Ottawa.
Thanking you in advance for your kindness, I remain, Very truly yours, C. P. Godfrey. County Auditor, Youngstown Ohio.

Dear Sirs:-
Attention Division of Revolutionary Records,
Can you advise me of the definite Revolutionary record of Adam Beiber (or as now spelled "Beaver") who we believe enlisted in the American Army from Berks Co. Penna., in June, 1776, and according to our data, served as "a private under Captain Geo. May, in the regiment commanded by Colonel Hay - re-enlisted in August 1777, as private under Captain John Whetstone - in the regiment commanded by Colonel Haller."
We would like confirmation of the above, if possible, and any further data you can furnish - such as, the brigades and divisions of the American forces in which the above Adam Beiber (or Beaver) served; the battles and campaigns in which they fought. There is a tradition that the regiment in which the above served was a part of the command of Gen. Anthony Wayne - is that correct?
o I would also appreciate similar data with reference to Christian Shively , also from Penna. enlistment; another of my ancestors.
Very truly yours,
Mary Ann Beaver
P.S. For our family records, can you please give us the reference numbers, such as Volume, and pages, for such information as you may be kind enough to send us.

Gentlemen: - Your letter of March 25 just at hand. I thank you for the information you give me of John Beeber's Rev. War record. John had two brothers, Nicholas & Adam, all three brothers served in the Rev. War & after the war went to Lycoming Co Pa. John was the youngest of the three. He spelled his name Beeber, the other two Beaver. In your letter you state that John served in the summer of 1779 as a substitute for his brother, Nicholas, two months as a private in Captain Jacob Shartles Co under Major Kercheval in the Penna. troops.
I wonder what was the reason that John served as a substitute for his brother Nicholas? Does the record state. There was a Nicholas Beaver who served in the Rev. War as a private in a company known as the German Battalion, Continental Troops. It is said he enlisted July 30 - 1776 at Philadelphia Pa. I am not as yet able to ascertain if that Nicholas was from Windsor Twp. Berks Co Pa - If so then he was the brother of John. (over)

Your letter also states that John Beaver served early in 1780 as a substitute for his brother, Adam, two months as a private in Capt. Mirets Co., guarding the military stores in Reading. I would like the complete Rev. War record of Adam Beaver of Windsor Twp., Berks Co Pa & Lycoming Co -
It is said that these three brothers after the war about 1784 went to Lycoming Co & took up land near Muncy that was given them by the government for services rendered. When can I get that record.
If your office don't have the Rev. War record of Nicholas Beaver & whom can I write to get it.
I thank you very kindly for all the information you can give me.
Yours truly J. M. Beaver

In response to your letter dated the nineteenth instant, you are advised that the papers in the claim of Adam Bieber Survivor's File No. 3,067 Rev.

He stated that he was seventy-eight years of age, and a native of Germany, but that he resided in Windsor Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania, when he entered the Revolutionary service as follows.
Enlisted in June or July, 1776, under Captain George May, and Colonel Henry Haller, in the "Flying Camp"; he was in a skirmish in which he was hit by a bullet on a button, which bruised his breast, and in the battle of White Plains; served six months.
Enlisted in August, 1777, under Captain Jacob Whetstone, and was in the battle of Brandywine; served six weeks.
After the war, he resided in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania about thirty-six years, and then removed to Union County, Pennsylvania.

Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter of March 29, in which you request information in regard to Adam and Nicholas Beeber (Bieber or Beaver), brothers of John Beeber, whose record was furnished you, March 25, 1937, as found in pension claim, R. 687, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
You were advised March 25, that the records of this office fail to show a claim for pension on file based on the service in the Revolutionary War of any Nicholas Bieber, under any spelling of that surname. It is suggested that as a possible means of securing information relative to the military record of soldiers of the Revolution, that you apply to The Adjutant General, War Department, this city.
The above named John Beeber served as substitute for his brother, Nicholas, two months, during the Revolution, as shown in the record furnished you. The papers in the claim state no reason for this service as substitute.
You, also, state that these three brothers moved about 1784 to Lycoming County, Pennsylvania and "took up land" near Muncy that was given them by the Government for service rendered. The land to which you refer was not a grant from the United States Government, but may have been granted by the State of Pennsylvania. For

information relative to land granted by the State of Pennsylvania, it is suggested that you consult the archives at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
The Revolutionary War record of Adam Bieber of Pennsylvania is furnished herewith.

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to Adam Beiber or Beaver and Christian Shively, both of Pennsylvania, soldiers of the Revolutionary War.
A careful search of the Revolutionary War records has been made and no record found of a claim for pension having been made to the United States based upon the military service in that war of Christian Shively. Such claims are the source of the data furnished by this office.
The record of Adam Bieber(pensioned as Beaver) has been found and his history is furnished you herein, the data for which were obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, S.2067, based upon his military service in the Revolutionary War.
Adam Beaver was born in Germany. The date of his birth and the names of his parents are not shown.
While a resident of Windsor Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania, Adam Beaver enlisted in June or July, 1776, served six months as a private under Captain George May and Colonel Henry Beller in the Flying Camp and was in a skirmish in which he was hit by a bullet, on a button, which bruised his breast and was in the battle of White Plains: He enlisted in August, 1777, served six weeks in Captain Jacob Whetstone's Pennsylvania Company and was in the battle of Brandywine. It is not shown that he served under General Wayne.
After the Revolution, he lived in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, about thirty-six years, then moved to Union County, Pennsylvania, where, in Buffalo Township, he was residing when he was allowed pension on his application executed September 24, 1832, aged seventy-eight years.

It is not stated that soldier was ever married.
A brother is referred to, his name not given.
The above history is taken from original papers in the pension claim of Adam Beaver and not from a printed volume.
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, the name and address of person paid and possibly the date of death of Adam Beaver(S.2067), Revolutionary War pensioner, you should address The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following data:
Adam Beaver, Certificate No.5551, issued February 12, 1833, rate $24. 99 per annum, commenced March 4, 1831, Act of June 7, 1832, Pennsylvania Agency.
Very truly yours
