Mrs. G. Harry Swancott 11 Greenwood Court Utica, New York.
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter relative to Revolutionary War records of Christian Casselman, New York troops, and of Barbara Casselman, a pensioner of Manheim, New York.
You are furnished herein the record of the first named, whose widow was the pensioner of Manheim, also the record of Pardel Cosselman.
The data furnished in regard to Christian Casselman are obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, W. 20895, based upon his military service in the Revolution.
Christian Casselman (the name appears also Cassilman, Casselman, Cassleman, Cosselman and Cosselman) enlisted in New York state in March, 1778, served as private in Captains Andrew Finck's and James Gregg's Companies, Colonel Van Schaick's and Colonel Peter Gansevoort's New York Regiments, was in the battle of Monmouth and was discharged June 6, 1783.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 16, 1818, while a resident of Manheim, Herkimer County, New York. He was then about sixty-six years of age.
He died August 18, 1830 in Manheim, Herkimer County, New York.
The soldier married January 10, 1785 in the town of German Flats, Herkimer County, New York, Barbara or Maria Barbara. . . . .
Barbara Casselman, soldier's widow, was allowed pension on her application executed November 5, 1838, while a resident of Manheim,

Herkimer County, New York. She was then seventy-four years of age.
In 1820, the following children of the soldier were living with him; Caty, aged twenty-seven years; Betsey, aged eighteen years; and Peggy, aged eleven years. -----
The data furnished in regard to Pardel Cosselman are obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, S. 29088, based upon his service in the Revolution.
Pardel Cosselman (the name appears also Casselman), the son of John Cosselman, was born March 15, 1761, in Stone Arabia, Montgomery County, New York.
While a resident of Stone Arabia, New York, he enlisted and served as private in the New York troops as follows: from some time in April, 1778, in Captain McKean's Company under Colonel Willett or Colonel Henry Van Rensselaer, was in skirmishes with the Indians and Tories on the Mohawk River and was discharged in December, 1778; from some time in April, 1779, in Captain John Cosselman's (soldier's father) Company in Colonel Klock's Regiment and was discharged January 1, 1780; from the spring, 1780, in Captain Tearse's Company, Colonel Willett's Regiment, was in the battle of Stone Arabia and in the battle just following near Colonel Klock's house, was in the battle of Johnstown and was discharged in the fall, 1783.
The soldier moved in 1806 from Stone Arabia, New York, to Manlius, Onondaga County, New York.
He was allowed pension on his application executed September 11, 1833, while a resident of Manlius, Onondaga County, New York.
In March, 1836, the soldier was living in Upper Canada and stated then that he was to move to Michigan Territory to be near "his child" and many relations who resided in that territory.
Anne Eliza Casselman made affidavit at that time in Michigan Territory but her relationship to the soldier was not stated. The name of soldier's wife was not given.

That she is the Widow of Christian Caselman , who was a private soldier in the Army of the Revolution, in a regiment commanded by Col. Peter Gansevoort.
She further declares that she is the identical Barbara Caselman, to whom a pension of Eighty Dollars per annum under the act of July 7, 1838 was granted. That this deponent cannot state the date of her pension certificate, because the said certificate was sent to the Pension Office in the city of Albany some time in the year 1841, when this petitioner drew the last instalment due under said Certificate and this deponent did not keep a copy of said Certificate. That by virtue of said certificate she has already drawn five years pension, making in all the sum of Four Hundred dollars. She further declares that she is still the Widow of the said Christian Caselman.
She further declares that said Christian Caselman in his life time, drew a pension from the United States, for his services as a soldier in the Army of the Revolution.
