Star of the Cape (May) A REVOLUTIONARY HERO.
Incidents in the Life of John Grace of Cape May County, While a Soldier in the Con- tinental Army. 34375
FOR THE STAR OF THE CAPE.
It is quite customary for historians dealing with the Revolutionary period, to give little or no attention to the status of South Jersey, relative to the most momentous conflict in the World's history. Whilst I know that from her peninsular position and her consequent isolation; from the sparseness of population and her limited financial resources, she lent seemingly small aid to the patriotic army in comparison with the sections around Philadelphia or Boston, still it is only fair that she be judged by the manner in which she used what she had. And when we come to look at the invaluable services rendered the Patriotic cause by the iron-works in the "Pines" and the salt works on the coast, not to mention the assistance given shipping by local craft on the Delaware, it will be seen that not only comparatively but absolutely, she was a faithful steward of the few talents.
The history of Cape May men in the Revolution has never yet been written. Their sacrifices on land and sea gained for them praise wherever the Colonial arms were carried. One of them, today, sleeps in the Union yard in South Dennisville with no stone to mark his resting place, no marble record of his services. Of him I would write, collecting from the records of the Adjutant General of New Jersey, the Pension office and the Department of State in Washington all that is known of John Grace, patriot and soldier.
In the research I have been materially aided by the Hon. Richard S. Leaming, of South Dennisville, who first called my attention, last fall, to the fact that the history of John Grace had never been compiled.
It seems that when the late Jeremiah Leaming, (Assemblyman 1829-1833; Senator 1833-1835), was a member of the Legislature, he interested himself to obtain pensions for a number of soldiers of Cape May county who had served in the war of the Revolution. Among these was John Grace and the application was successful.
Having established Grace's identity we may now turn to the records sent me by the Pension Department. The files there show that he was residing, April 1818, in the county of Cape May, stating that he enlisted in June 13, 1777, for and during the war under Captain Flanagan in the 3d N. J. Regiment under Col. Dayton. He was discharged June 5, 1788, by General Washington, and was for his 8 years of faithful service entitled to the Badge of Merit. It is to be regretted that under the first pension act in 1818, the applicants did not usually relate particulars of their service, as to places of incidents or birth, as was required under a later act of 1832. Thus we are deprived of a knowledge of his antecedents, but from other records we find his descendants. In August 1886, he was residing at

of 1833. Thus we are deprived of a knowledge of his antecedents, but from a later record we find his descendants. In August 1850, he was residing at Cape May, aged 64 years, and his family consisted of his wife, Judith, aged 60 years, with sons William, aged 28 years, Mary, aged 20 years, and Rachel, aged 15 years, and a daughter aged 10 years. John Grace died April 10, 1850.
As to his life as a soldier, I have already spoken of his enlistment in the New Jersey Continental Line as a private in Captain Samuel Flanagan's Company, Third Battalion, Second Establishment.
In October 1777, he was recorded as a fifer—later rolls being missing until March 1778 he was found as a fifer in Capt. Anderson's company, and was so reported up to February 1779 when there are no rolls on file of that Company until September 1779, on which his name does not appear. He was in other companies as a fifer in the 2d Regiment for September 1779. Further investigation must be abandoned as the rolls are so incomplete. The Pension office says that he was in the battles at Bennington (Aug. 16, 1777), Brandywine (Sept. 11, 1777), Monmouth (June 28, 1778), and Yorktown, but a part of this is somewhat conjectural, for I find no Jersey troops recorded at Bennington and if he was there it would be almost impossible for him to travel from Vermont to Southern Pennsylvania in less than a month, with the roads blocked and New York in possession of the British. If he did such a thing it would not show in his records.
It appears from the State Department records that John Grace was a conductor of stores, for in March, May, June and July 1778, Colonel Quartermaster General John Mitchell sent stores to Colonel Spencer at Trenton, and John Grace was charged with the duty.
In connection with the obtaining of his pension papers, an interesting story is told by Mr. Leaming. It was found that John Grace had lost his discharge and he was asked if he had any documentary evidence proving that he had been a soldier in the Revolutionary Army. He soon produced a letter from General Washington to General Gates, saying that John Grace was a scout and could be trusted with any important despatches that might pass between them relative to military affairs. Indeed no higher compliment could be paid the memory of the Cape May man. Army messengers would go through New York and being poor men, receiving pay in greatly depreciated Continental currency, it was a great temptation to stop at New York and let the English General examine the despatches, particularly as the British officers paid good for such services.
As to the record of John Grace, I believe that he never had been well known to the public, and that there are some errors in the records relative to his name and residence. He is called John Grace in some records, and John Grase in others. He is also called John Grase in the records of the State Department, and the Pension office.

In answer to your communication in reference to John Grace whose history was sent me, I have to state that there is no record in this Bureau of his being employed as a Scout up to Sept 1779, or was absent on any particular duty from his Company - Had he been, not temporarily but, regularly employed as a Scout by Genl Washington for any length of time, his name would have been dropped from the rolls of his Company when he enlisted as a private in June & following Aug Oct promoted to Difer i.e larger pay - Genl Gates, superseded Genl Schuyler in Command of the Northern Army, but he did not arrive at Headquarters until Aug 19 three days after the Battle of Bennington.
The Correspondence of Genl Washington with Genl Gates  for officer it is believed to be on file with the "Washington Papers in State Dept but whether it would contain any relating to scouts is unknown.

Dear Sir - John Grace a Revolutionary soldier from South Scituate N.J. made application for a pension in 1818 (Invalid No. 34875). He enlisted at Salem N.J. 1777 for the war. Did he receive a pension and if so did his wife at his death receive one? He died April 10-1835. If his wife received a pension what was her first name?

Gentlemen,
Please go back to your Records of 1818, and tell me all that there is in the application for a pension by one John Grace, a Continental soldier, tell me if that applicant was a wagon master, and if he makes this claim in his application, tell me exactly his wording (if possible) I think he came from the New Jersey line, what he says about his family, number of children & etc. There is a mystery in reference to the records

of this Man that I have been (as a decedent) trying to get straightened out, and I trust you can furnish the missing links. The trouble is this, the old soldier evidently married twice, and leaves two branches of descendents, one in Jersey the other in Penna some members claim that there is a mistake, and that there was two men of same name, now if it can be proven that the applicant for a Pension in 1848, (granted in 1833) was a wagon master that settles all disputes in the family, or if the wagon master was the same man who enlisted at Salem N.J. in 1777, which also confirms matter, I thought possibly that a full record was kept of his application, I am

Dear Sir,
As there is to be a monument dedicated to my ancestor (John Grace) who was a soldier of the Revolution it has become necessary for us to find out a few points in his history and as we are trying to determine his age and place of enlistment I know of no other way to get this information than to appeal to the Pension Bureau and will request your assistance and trust you may be able to help us out of the difficulty, and I assure you that whatever assistance you render will be indeed greatly appreciated by all interested parties. John Grace it

officer came from somewhere in New Jersey He was a private, we are anxious to learn just when he enlisted from the date of same also when he got a pension and the date his pension stopped, we are also anxious to know if he enlisted twice, as tradition speaks of him as wagon master also as a scout.
Yours sincerely

Dear Sir:-
I return for your reinspection some information which your de- partment, generously furnish- es me some time since.
Therewith you will find a note from Ad. Genl Stryker, our state historian and some notes sent me by the Hon. Richd J. Ledning of S. Dennisville Capenway Co, this state

I call your attention to Mr. Leaming's notes, partic- ularly to the parts under- scored.
First. Can the Washington- Gates letter be found and if so does it agree with the tradition?
Second. May I ask for a literal copy of the letter, as it is for historical publication?
Third. Has your office any record that John Grace was a scout?

How most likely is correct and yet how he could go from Bennington, Aug 16, to Brandy wine, Sept 11, & then according to tradition to with Gates (Gates being in Saratoga on Oct 17) is making him do some "tall knitting." He must have been imbued with more than Continental pluck.
Can you straighten this out.

I would like to have all the papers returned Thanking you for your courtesy in the pack I remain

Some time since in research- es in state history of New Jersey I find that John Grace of Cape May is said to have rec'd a pension. He was a scout in the Continen- tal line, as tradition goes, and the records

in Ad. Gen. Stuykess office in this city show him or at least presumably the same man as private in Saml Flannigans Co. 32 nd Battalion, 2 nd Est also private in Cap Joseph Andersons Co 3 rd Reg & 1 st Reg. The story in Cape May goes that this man was one of Genl Washingtons most trusted scouts and that when discharged with a letter from Washington He obtained a pension on the strength of his letter. Can you inform me
