Declaration, In order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7 th , 1832.
Pennsylvania Washington County ss
On this 13 th day of November 1832, personally appeared before the Honorable the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas in & for the County aforesaid, Peter Love, a resident of Hanover Township Washington County & State aforesaid, aged seventy nine years, who being first duly sworn according to law, cloth on his oath makes the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit, of the provisions of the Act of Congress passed June 7 th , 1832. That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers, & served as herein stated
In the month of February 1776, I enlisted for one year under Capt Peter Dickerson, in the second regiment of the Penns ya Troops, & marched from Morris County N. Jersey, to Amboy where the regiment collected under the command of Col l Dayton & Lieutenant Col l White, We marched from Amboy to New York, where we remained a week or so, & then proceeded to Albany. We were then ordered to march up the Mohawk river, against some Tories, near Johnstown, but they had left there before our arrival. The regiment with the exception of our company, proceeded up to Fort Stone, & our company under Capt Dickerson, remained at Johnstown by the order of the officers. We remained here till the autumn, & we were then ordered up to Fort Stone. We remained here about two months at the garrison, & then our whole regiment were ordered back to Albany, & thence to Tienderoga where we took winter quarters under the command of Col l S. Wayne. In the spring in the month of March, 1779, we were then discharged & returned to Morris County, N. Jersey, after being absent better than one year.
Shortly after I removed with my family to West Moreland County Pa, where & where I was greatly harassed with the Indians. In the year 1779, I volunteered for one month, & marched under Gen l Hand up the Big Beaver, & killed a number of Indians. Shortly after I volunteered for another month, & marched up the Allegheny river, under Col l James Smith, & returned home

after an absence of a month, making in all a service of about fifteen months. I have made as clear a statement of my services, as my old age, & extreme bad memory permits. I was born in Morris County N Jersey, in the year 1753. I have no record of my age. I lived in Morris County when I entered the service, & came to this County of Westmoreland Pa in the year 1777, & in the year 1781 I came to this County, & have resided here ever since. I enlisted & volunteered. The names of regular officers & of regiments, I am not able now to recollect. I never received a written discharge, I am well known by Enoch Wright Esq. & Alexander Duncan. James McConnell, who can testify to my character for veracity, & who believes that I was a soldier of the revolution. I have no documentary testimony to prove my services, except Elizabeth Williams whose extreme old age prevents her attendance. - I forgot to state that I served as sergeant, during the whole of my first years service.
I do hereby relinquish every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present & declare that my income is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state.
Sworn to & subscribed the day & year aforesaid in Open Court Peter Cole Thomas Officer Pro
We Enoch Wright a Justice of the Peace of Wanover Township in Washington County, & Alexander Duncan of Wanover Township in the County aforesaid do hereby certify that we are well acquainted with Peter Cole of Wanover Township, who has subscribed & sworn to the above declaration, that we believe him to be about seventy nine years of age; that he is respected & believed in the neighbourhood where he resides to have been a soldier of the revolution & that we concur in that opinion
Sworn & subscribed the day Enoch Wright & year aforesaid .. Alexr Duncan Thomas Officer Pro

Dear Sir: -
I wish to make inquiry concerning Peter Coe who served in Revolution as sergeant from Sept. 1776 to March 1777 in New Jersey Reg - and in two Indian expeditions in W. Penna. for which services he was pensioned in 1832.
Can you give me exact date of birth and of death? Would you have the name of his wife and of his children?
I shall greatly appreciate a prompt reply.

Hon. Commissioner of Pensions Washington, D.C.
Sir;
I desire to secure the military record of two ancestors Ebenezer Coe and Peter Coe pensioners of the Revolution; also what genealogical data may be on record of them in regard to their births and deaths and parentage especially.
Ebenezer Coe was a lieutenant in the Penn line and ended his days about 1830, I believe, in Ohio.
Peter Coe was a private in

the New Jersey line, but after the War lived in Washington Co. Penn.
Lt. Ebenezer Coe had a son Silas Coe, who lived in Ohio, whose youngest son Samuel Coe married a grand daughter of Peter Coe
