The State of Ohio } Delaware County. } Be it remembered that on this 22 nd day of December A.D. 1837 personally appeared before me Ezra Grieswold one of the Associate Judges of the Court of Common Pleas in & for the said County of Delaware and State of Ohio, Elizabeth Boeckoven a resident of Berlin Township in the said County of Delaware aged ninety two years. She being first duly sworn according to law doth on her oath, make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the act of Congress passed July 4. 1836: That she is the widow of Captain Jacob Boeckoven, who was a Captain in the New Jersey Militia during the revolution. That her said husband Capt. Jacob Boeckoven was appointed Captain of a company of New Jersey Militia raised in his neighborhood at Wantage in Sussex County New Jersey at the commencement of the revolution. That in the year 1776 about the time of the taking of New York her husband the said Jacob Boeckoven was called out (whether drafted or volunteered she does not recollect) with his company to New York served this tour one month. She cannot recollect all his services or the particulars concerning them, but the said Capt. Jacob Boeckoven served as Captain in the service from that time to the close of the revolutionary war more than one third of his time in actual service. She is confident that he served at least two years as Captain as often in the service as out no part of which time was spent in any civil employment.
She cannot recollect (on account of old age & the consequent loss of memory) all the particulars of the said services but recollects the said Capt. Boeckoven was out very often on tours of service.

at New York, Elizabeth Town, at the Delaware and other places. She recollects his having been in battle at Elizabethtown, at Germantown and at Monmouth. She cannot recollect the precise time when her said husband left or was last in the service. She has no documentary evidence, and does not know what has become of her said husband's Commission; has not seen it for great many years.
She further declares that she was married to the said Captain Jacob Bockoven in September or October in the year seventeen hundred and sixty five (1765); that her husband the said Jacob Bockoven died on the 19th day of March 1819; and that she has remained a widow ever since that period as will more fully appear by reference to the proof thereto annexed.
In witness whereof the said Elizabeth Bockoven has hereunto set her hand and seal this 8th day of June in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and twenty one.
E. Bockoven Associate Judge of Del. Com. Pleas.
I Abial Jenks a Clergyman residing in the said County of Delaware being duly sworn upon my oath say that I have for the last nine years been well acquainted with the above named Elizabeth Bockoven, and say that she is a person of good Moral Character and entitled to full credit as to her statement and believe her to be of the age she states herself to be as above. I also say that I have for the same time been well acquainted with George Bockoven who made the attached affidavit, that he is a person of good character and entitled to full confidence and credit and further say not.
Abial Jenks

The State of Ohio
Delaware County, ss. I, Jacob Boek, owner of Knox County being duly sworn according to law upon my oath say, that I am the son of Captain Jacob Boek owner formerly of the New Jersey Militia and Elizabeth his wife. I was born in Morris County New Jersey on the 6 th day of February 1768 as I am informed and hereby believe. My father in March 1774 moved to Raritan Township in Super County in New Jersey where he resided during the revolutionary war and until his death which happened March 19, 1819 and was then said to be eighty four years of age and was born according to the best information I have received in the year 1735. My father the said Jacob Boek was married to my mother Elizabeth (who now resides with my brother George Boek in Berlin Township in the County of Delaware) in September or October 1765 in Morris County New Jersey according to the best information I have recd. My Mother's maiden name was Eliz- abeth Whitenac, was born according to every infor- mation I have received at her father's residence (Blickard Whitenac) in Morris Co. in the year 1746 and is now 91 or 92 years of age. I know of no record evidence, nor of any person living by whom the actual marriage of my father & mother can be proved. I often heard when I was a boy that they were married at the time above stated by Doct. Kennedy a Presby- terian clergyman who died at least forty years since soon after the close of revolutionary war. My mother now the youngest of her family and now the only survivor. I do not believe that there is now living a single person who was residing in her neighbourhood at the time of her marriage.
I recollect well that when I was about 8 years of age at the commencement of the revolutionary war that the Company of Militia in the heat of which my father resided was commanded by Captain Snook, and that the men became disaffected towards him

thinking him a tory. He was displeased and My father Jacob Boekner was appointed Captain in his stead. I recollect that soon after that My father and his company was called out into actual service to go to New York at the time that the British forces took possession of New York in the year 1776, (I believe it was in the 1st year) and I believe he was absent on this tour one month. I cannot recollect all the different tours in which he served but during the whole war he was very frequently called out to some tour of from one to three months end as a Captain with his company or a part of them. I recollect him to have said and I have heard others say the same that he had been in the battles of Elizabethtown, Germantown and Monmouth, besides a number of skirmish. I recollect also that My father was often called out with his company to go over to the Delaware river about 10 miles to drive away the Indians and on account of Indian alarms. I have known him to be called out for this purpose often twice in one week.
I recollect also that a number of times when My father was in the service My mother & family were often frightened by the Tories, who were dressed alike, and pretended to be Indians. Upon one of these occasions My Mother & children were driven out of the house, and we hid ourselves for safety in the bushes or woods. My father often his return home proved some for this attack upon his wife & family but could not procure sufficient proof to identify them. I cannot say precisely how long My father served in this manner; but I am safely say that he served as a Captain in the New Jersey Militia during the revolutionary war in the manner above stated at least two years, no part of which time was spent in any civil employment.
My father died in 1819, about four years after that My mother

removed with my brother George from New Jersey to Delaware County where she now resides. I removed from New Jersey to New Co. where I now reside about six years since.
To the best of my knowledge, information & belief my mother the above named Elizabeth Bockoven was never married but once and that at the time alone stated to my father the above named Capt. Jacob Bockoven. I am confident she has not been married since his death. and further say not.
Given & subscribed to this 12 th day Jacob Bockoven 1 December 1837.
Before me.
Henry Woodgain Justice of the Peace.
And I George Bockoven being duly sworn upon my oath say that I am a son of the above named Elizabeth Bockoven an applicant for a pension and of Capt. Jacob Bockoven. I was born as I have been informed June 26. 1774. I have no record of birth of name, of the age or marriage of my father & mother. My father & mother had but five children a record of their several ages here to attached taken from a list of my family bible which was copied from an old book which entry was made by my father, and copied as the attached list more  than about twenty five or thirty years since.
I was too young to recollect much of my father's services, but I have often heard my father and others state facts concerning them. That he was a Captain in the New Jersey Militia and served in the manner above stated in Jacob Bockoven affidavit I have always been informed & verily believe.
My father the said Capt. Jacob Bockoven was married to my mother the above named Elizabeth Bockoven at the time & place above stated in my brother's affidavit as I have been for informed & verily believe. I have had that information from my

father and others in so many different ways that there can be no earthly doubt of the fact in my mind, though I know of no person living by whom the fact can be proved; and I know of no documentary evidence. I do not now know of any person living who who served under my father during the revolution. I am informed that John Thuff of Delaware County but now deceased served under my father, and that Thuff obtained a pension in 1833 under the law of June 7. and by a reference to his declaration that fact can be seen.
Jonathan Bowers also served and died formerly of Sussex Co. New Jersey served under my father as I have been informed and he during his life time received a pension but I believe under the law of 1818.
My father died at Coontz's Sussex Co. N.J. in March 1819. and since my father's death my mother has always resided with me. In 1823 my mother removed from New Jersey with me to where I now reside in Delaware County. and further say not.

At this distance of time cannot exactly state but this much can safely and confidently state that it was three years or more in all in that in the different campaigns and part of campaigns he Jacob Boeckoven Captain in the New Jersey Mili- tia was absent from home in the service of his country acting in the capacity as Captain three years or upwards to the great injury and detri- ment of his private business

The State of Ohio Delaware County, ss.
I, John Buff of the said County being duly sworn upon his oath say that I was a soldier in the service of the United States during the war of the revolution and am now a pensioner of the U. S. under the law of the 7 th of June 1831. That during the revolutionary war I lived in Sussex County in New Jersey and was then acquainted with Captain Jacob Backoven who then lived at Wantage in the said County of Sussex. The said Capt. Backoven was a Captain in the New Jersey Militia during the revolutionary war and was out often in the service.
I served one tour under him as a sergeant in his Company and were stationed at Elizabethton, and while there I was sent with a file of men after deserters and while gone on that service there was a battle at Elizabethton with the enemy in which Capt. Backoven and his Company were engaged. I was not particularly acquainted with Capt. Backoven's services except during this one tour, but was informed he was often in the service.
I know that Capt. Backoven at the time he was thus in the service was a married man and had a family of several children some of them were boys several years old, but I never had any particular acquaintance with his family. But I am informed and believe that the same family is now the widow of the said Capt. Backoven and now residing in the County of Delaware and further say not.

You will perceive that Mrs Bockoven petitions to be placed on the Pension Roll, for services, rendered by her husband Capt. Jacob Bockoven, in the Revolutionary War.

House of Reps. U. S. May 21 st 1838.
Dear Sir.
I herewith enclose to you an affidavit of Jacob Bockoven. You will perceive, it goes to prove, to some extent, the length of time, in the aggregate that Capt. Jacob Bockoven, was in the public service, during the Revolutionary War. It appears that the justice before whom this affidavit, was taken, was not aware that it was necessary, that he should certify to the character of Jacob Bockoven; but it will be seen, that this same Jacob Bockoven, has made a affidavit, on another part of Mrs Bockoven's claim, which is now on file, and to this paper, on file, it will be seen, that the Hon. E. Griswold, (who is a gentleman of high standing) has certified to the character of the said Jacob Bockoven.
As a further evidence of Capt. Bockoven's services, T. W. Rowell Esq r informs me, that a Jacob Bockoven of Ohio, and a Solomon Countright of Western New York, and a Jonathan Robason, late of Wantage in Sussex Co New Jersey deceased, are understood to be on file, for pensions, and that they all alledge to have served, under Capt. Bockoven. A reference is

made to these applicants, supposing that their papers will go to strengthen the claim of Mrs. Backoven, if examined.
As this will probably complete all the evidence, which Mrs. Backoven can adduce, in favour of her husband's services, you will please to inform me, after examining this additional evidence, how long, the whole evidence before you, go to prove to your satisfaction, that Capt. Backoven served in the Revolution, and what will be the annual pension of Mrs. Backoven derivable therefrom, as soon as your convenience will permit.
I am very respectfully

I feel authorized to state, that a pension at the rate, as therein stated, will be acceptable to her. In the letter in question you state that, in Mrs Bockner's case a pension may be allowed on the testimony exhibited, for six months service as Captain, which would be $120. per annum, to commence 4 th March 1831. You will therefore please to make out a certificate in due form and in conformity therewith, and forward the same to your
