The data contained herein are obtained from the papers on file in the Revolutionary War claim for pension, W.3806, based upon his military service in that war.
John Matthias Haupt enlisted at Boston, Massachusetts, about 1777, and served until the close of the Revolution in 1783, as a private in Captains de Le Bert and Le Brun's Company, Count Pulaski and Colonel Armand's Legion; was in the battle of Camden.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 15, 1818, at which time he was a resident of Baltimore, Maryland. He died August 12, 1836.
He married in 1789 near Fredericktown, Maryland, Elizabeth, maiden name not stated. She was allowed pension on her application executed September 22, 1838, at which time she was a resident of Baltimore, Maryland, and stated that she was eighty-seven years of age.
