The State of Ohio Licking County
Be it known that on the thirtieth day of July A.D. 1839 before me John Moore one of the justices of the peace in and for the County aforesaid personally appeared Henry Burner who being by me duly sworn according to law doth depose and say that agreeably to the family record of his age he was seventy years of age on the 28 th of August last (1838) was born and raised in Shenandoah County State of Virginia that he had a brother (he thinks) about fourteen or fifteen years older than himself also born and raised in the same County that he well recollects of his said Brother Abraham being a soldier in the Revolutionary war. Cannot say with certainty what year he was out but that he in the first place enlisted at Woodstock Shenandoah County Virginia for the term of twelve months under one Mullenburgh (then recruiting officer at that place) who was afterwards a General that the said Abraham Burner served out the said term of twelve months and received his discharge in writing, which he Affiant has frequently seen - affiant states that from the best computation in regard to the time he was out it must have been about the year 1778 or 1779 - that said Abraham Burner some time after said term of service was out (is well satisfied it was not over a year) he was married to Mary Magdalene Hall of Pendleton County Virginia - that about six or eight months after said marriage said Abraham Burner was drafted in the Militia for three months and service under Captain Jacob Rinker and went on to either North or South Carolina where he served out said three months and before being discharged (as he affiant has understood) was again drafted or pressed to stay in the service three months longer that to the best of affiant's belief he did not return home under six months. Affiant states that said Abraham Burner brought his wife home to his father (Ebenezer Burner) in said Shenandoah County in the spring as he thinks from the fact that she rode a Mare with a sucking Colt - and that not long after he had been at home was drafted as above stated and that he did not return until about Christmas - that said Abraham Burner's first

child was born during his absence at that time at least forty where his wife remained during his absence (on the 9 th of December in the year 1780) as affiant has learned by reference to the record in the family bible kept by Daniel Burner (the name of said first child) now in the possession of his daughter in this County - Affiant states that he resided from the time of his birth up to the year 1817 in said Shenandoah County Virginia when he removed from thence to the County of Licking in the State of Ohio where he has ever since continued to reside except two or three times he has been back to Virginia on business & visiting. Affiant states that said Abraham Burner & his wife after his return from the Army went to reside in the County of Pendleton where they have continued to reside up to the time of his death & have raised a large family of children (seven sons & two daughters) affiant states that since the marriage between his said Brothers & the said Mary Magdalene Doll he has been in the habit of seeing and hearing from them frequently and that since the death of the said Abraham Burner he has not heard of the marriage of the said Mary Magdalene with any other person and further saith not.

Abraham Burner, W.24693 Luther Ingalls, S.44972
Honorable William L. Nelson House of Representatives Washington, D.C.
My dear Mr. Nelson:
Reference is made to your request for information relative to Revolutionary War soldiers, Abraham Burner, and Luther and Zebediah Ingalls.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims for pension and bounty land made to the United States and based on the military service of soldiers in that war. A careful search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the service of a Zebediah Ingalls.
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, W.24693, based on the military service of Abraham Burner.
He was born in Shenandoah County, Virginia, date not given, and was the son of Earhart Burner.
Abraham Burner enlisted at Woodstock, Shenandoah County, Virginia, in January, 1777, as private in Captain Matthias Hite's company in Colonel Abraham Bowman's Virginia regiment, was in the battles of Brandywine and Germantown and was discharged in February or March, 1778, at Valley Forge. He married on June 5, 1780, Mary Magdalen Hull of Pendleton County, Virginia. About six or eight months after his marriage he enlisted and served six months in the Virginia militia under Captain Jacob Rinker.
After his service he lived in Pendleton County, Virginia.
Abraham Burner was allowed pension on his application executed October 25, 1819, at which time he was living in Randolph County, Virginia.

Abraham Burner died June 18, 1827, in Pendleton County, Virginia.
His widow, Mary Burner, applied for pension June 3, 1839, while living in Pocahontas County, Virginia, aged seventy-six years. The claim was allowed.
She died January 18, 1840.
Abraham and Mary Burner had seven sons and two daughters but the only names given are Daniel who was the eldest and was born during the Revolution and Jacob H. whose address in 1839 was Burnersville, Lewis County, Virginia. Five of the children (names not designated) survived their mother.
The soldier's brother, Henry Burner, was born August 28, 1762, in Shenandoah County, Virginia, lived there until 1817 when he moved to Licking County, Ohio, where he was living in 1839 at which time he stated that his brother, Abraham, was about fourteen or fifteen years older than himself.
There are no further data relative to the family of Abraham Burner.
*****
Luther Ingalls S. 44972
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, S.44972, based on the military service of Luther Ingalls.
The date and place of his birth and the names of his parents were not given.
He enlisted at Pomfret, Connecticut, May 14 or 15, 1776, and served one year as private in Captain Benoni Cutler's company in Colonel Andrew Ward's Connecticut regiment.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 9, 1818, at which time he was living in Hanover, Grafton County, New Hampshire.

In 1820, Luther Ingalls stated that he had a wife, Lucy, aged sixty years and the following children: George, aged fifteen years; Elizabeth W. Ingalls, aged twenty-six years; Sylvester, aged thirty-five years who had a large family; and three other children whose names were not given. There are no further data relative to soldier's family.
In May, 1823, the soldier was living in Grafton County, New Hampshire, aged sixty-four years and nine months. In 1855 he was living in Hanover, New Hampshire.
Luther Ingalls died July 4, 1855.
