Harvey W. Doolittle — of the town of Herkimer in said County, being duly sworn according to law, doth depose and say, that he has resided in said town & been engaged therein as a practising physician & surgeon for the last forty years and more — That he was during the lifetime of the above named Adam Hartman, well & intimately acquainted with said Adam Hartman, and with Conrad Hartman, Michael Hartman & Christopher Hartman sons of said Adam Hartman who are residents of said County — That said Adam Hartman died about twelve years ago in said County — This deponent will recollect that said Adam Hartman during the whole period of his acquaintance with him & until the day of his death, was in the receipt of an Invalid pension from the government of the United States, in consequence, as this deponent understood & believes, of his having been wounded while performing military service in the war of the revolution — That this deponent will recollect having on several occasions examined said Adam Hartman pursuant to the requirements of the laws of Congress under which he became entitled to and received an Invalid pension as aforesaid — This deponent never knew or heard of any person in said County or elsewhere by the name of Adam Hartman old enough to have served in the war of the revolution except said Adam Hartman.

presence & he being duly sworn according to law, made oath that the facts set forth in the foregoing affidavit by him signed are true & I certify that I have been personally acquainted with said Harvey W. Doolittle for a period exceeding thirty years last past, and that he is highly esteemed in the community in which he lives as a gentleman of truth and veracity, and that his statements are entitled to full credit. Eli Saylor Justice
In the same matter of Andrew F. — Doolittle of said town of Hartkern, being duly sworn saith, that he is a partner in the practice of medicine & surgery of Doctor Harvey W. Doolittle whose affidavit precedes this Affidavit. That the Deponent was also well acquainted with said Adam Hartman during his life time — that the facts in relation to the identity of said Adam Hartman with the Adam Hartman who is the father of Michael & Christopher & Conrad Hartman who was until the day of his death an Invalid pensioner of the United States, are true and correct as sworn to by said Harvey W. Doolittle. This Deponent never knew or heard of any other Adam Hart- man old enough to have served in the revolution save & except said Adam Hartman. This Deponent according to the best of his recollection on more than one occasion examined the wound & disa- bilities of said Adam under the requirements of the law by virtue of which he became entitled to & received his invalid pension as aforesaid.

Eli Saylor Justice

In the same matter Jss
John Mahon of the town of Herkimer in said County of Herkimer aged sixty nine years & upwards, being duly sworn saith, that he has resided in said town & the adjoining town of German Flatts for sixty years and more.

Doolittle and others, at least twelve years before his death, that said Adam Hartman died about twelve years ago, leaving him surviving Michael Hartman, Christopher Hartman, Conrad Hartman & he thinks other children with whom this Deponent was and is also acquainted. That this Deponent well recollects to have heard said Adam Hartman on several occasions, give a detail of his services in the war of the revolution.

This Deponent well recollects that he once or twice, being then a justice of the Peace (as he is now) administered to said Adam Hartman the usual oath required in the matter of his drawing his pension money as an Invalid pensioner. This Deponent then saw his pension-certificate - on reflection thinks (as may be ascertained by examining the papers of said Adam at Washington) that the usual affidavit & power of attorney wherein he drew his pension for the six months preceding the day of his death (1836) were taken & acknowledged before this Deponent as a Justice of the Peace.

Mr. Winfield Scott:
Rev. & 1812 Wars Section
Commissioner:—
Have you on file a Revolutionary War Pension Claim of Theobald Dieterich which may be written Debald Dedrick or David Dedrick and his wife Margaret? Theobald Dieterich served in a Regiment from Canajoharie, Montgomery County, N.Y. but after the war lived in the town of Frankfort, Herkimer County, N.Y. If you have the above claim on file can you send me a few notes so that I can connect up the records of his wife Margaret
Have you on file Revolutionary War Pension claims of Peter J. Staring or his wife Maria or Mary of the same locality as above mentioned. Mary might have been a sister of Margaret wife of Theobald Dieterich, both being daughters of Theobald Dygert.
Dieterich Wohleben which may be written Richard Woolever was killed Aug. 6, 1777 in the battle of Oriskany. He was married March 8, 1770 to Anna Elizabeth Dygert daughter of Theobald Dygert. After Dieterich Wohleben was killed, his widow married Jacob Seeder of Canajoharie, Montgomery County, N.Y.

and his wife was called Elizabeth Dygert and Elizabeth Woolver in the Church record where the birth of her children were recorded. I am informed by relatives that she died in Kampsville, Madison County, N.Y.
Did Jacob Secker or his wife Elizabeth or Anna Elizabeth apply for Revolutionary War Pension? If so can you send me a few notes.
Revolutionary War Claim of Adam (or Hans Adam) Hartman No. S. 22811 of Herkimer, Herkimer County, N.Y. Does this claim say that Hans Adam Hartman served in the Battle of Oriskany, Aug. 6, 1777? If so what part did he perform? Hans Adam Hartman was a scout who was always out on duty, and history says: That at the close of the war he was all hacked and scarred with tomahawks and scalping knives from hand to hand encounters with the Indians.

Sir:
In the case of Adam Hartman under the act of 7 th June 1832, you stated in your letter of the 18 th October ult o , that it would be necessary, "before the affidavit of "Capt: Demouth could be received as evidence, "that his statement as regards his own service, "should be verified by the records at Albany". This claim was asserted "for 9 months service "under Capt: Demouth, 3 months in same "Company under Col: Harper - and for 18 months [in the aggregate] as a Ranger". The service of "Hartman" for 2 months under Dubois" in 1780, previous to his being wounded, is admitted.
I have not until recently been able to find the documentary evidence required. I now forward herewith certificates from the N. Y. Comptroller, showing that Captain Demouth served continuously with his Company from the 1 st Aug t 1776, to the 31. Dec r 1776, or for 5 months - vide certificate N o 1. Again - by certificate N o 2, we have proof of his service for the months of January & February 1777.

From Certificate N o 3, it will be seen that Capt: Demooth's Company was in service in the month of March 1777-making in all 8 months during the years 1776 & '77.

Case N o  4 - which I desire you to take in hand for me and urge action on by the Comm ee of Pensions is that of Adam Hartman dec d represented by his children under the act of 7 th June 1832.
Hartman died at German-Flatts on the 9 th Ap l 1836, at 92.
The Comm ee required in this case that I should show that Capt. Demouth's Company of Rangers served in 1776, 1777 &c by the Records at Albany. The service of Hartman for 2 mos. in 1780 previous to his being wounded, was admitted.
I have filed with the papers proof from the Comptroller's Books & papers, that

Capt. Demooth of the Rangers served with his Company continuously for the months of August, Sep r October, November & Decem r 1776, and also for the months of January Feby & March 1777. He did serve till Aug t 77 when the Miskany battle took place in which Hartman participated, but I cannot find any document to prove it, & so must I suppose forego the point probably, unless the Conn t will allow it on the parole testimony given.
I send enclosed an a/c between Lyon County & New York State - showing service of Demooth's Company up to 1 st Apr 1777 - which the Conn t may like to file with the papers of Hartman, though I believe I have shown the same thing by the Comptroller's certificates. [In passing you will notice, that the name " Getman "]

to which I referred in a previous letter in the case of Elizabeth RR Gitman (N o 3.) is written " Kitman ". Please note this in connection with the case of Elizabeth Gitman widow of Peter Gitman.] At least 18 months service is claimed for Hartman.
I am very respectfully

Sir. In your letter of 19 th July ult o in reference to the claim of Adam Hartman deceased for a pension under the act of 7 th June 1832, you state, that two years service of A. H. has been satisfactorily proven, but that before a Certificate can issue, satisfactory proof must be adduced that A. H. was the identical soldier who received an Invalid pension &c.
In Compliance with your requisition I have taken pains to search out, & have procured the affidavits of, the physicians who examined and certified as to his disabilities under the Invalid acts, and of the Justice who administered the last oath taken by A. H. under said acts previous to his decease. also the affidavit of Judge Mahan. They clearly identify the father of Michael Hartman & the others as the revolutionary soldier who served under Capt. Gernuth & who was wounded in battle & received a pension in consequence of being thus wounded.
The affidavits of Doct s Harvey W. Doolittle & Andrew T. Doolittle, John Mahon & George H. Fox Esq s , with those of John Dockstad er a revolutionary soldier & of Rev d Mr. Spinner, heretofore furnished (& to which I pray reference)

may again be made), will, I trust, furnish the most satisfactory proof of the identity in question.
With the original papers in this case, was sent a Certificate showing that Michael Hartman son of the deceased had been appointed Administrator of his father's estate, and I requested, that the pension-certificate should issue in his name for the heirs. I now repeat that request, and ask this favor for the reason that some of the children live out of the United States , and others in places far distant from Herkimer N.Y. where Adam Hartman died & three of his sons reside. I forward duplicate letters of Administration.
I am very respectfully

Sir:
I advise you that in the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 22811, it appears that Adam or Hans (John) Adam Hartman served as a private in the battle of Oriskany, August 6, 1777.
The Revolutionary War records of this bureau fail to afford any information in regard to Theobold Dieterich or Dieterich Wohleben, all spellings searched, or to Peter J. Staring or Jacob Seeber.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner.

In the matter v s of Adam Hartman Aff t of Rev. John P. Springer Sep r 4 th 1847.
No 8:

State of New York County of Herkimer Sss.
I, John P. Spinner Pastor of the Reformed Dutch Church of Herkimer German Flats, do depose and say, that I was well & intimately acquainted with Adam Hart- man , in whose behalf application is now being made for a pension on account of his services as a soldier in the war of the revolution. That I became acquainted with said Hartman as far back as the year 1801 or thereabouts when I first became such pastor - said Hartman was a member of my church, and a man of integrity and exem- plary character. I had many conversations with said Hartman in regard to his revolutionary servi- ces, but did not charge my mind with the de- tails; though I know that he drew a pension in con- sequence of a wound he received while per- forming said services. According to the account he communicated to me in his life time and as I found recorded in his family Bible, he was born in the palatinate of Eden Roben in Germany, and emigrated to this country when sixteen years of age, which was before the com- mencement of the war of the revolution in 1775, to wit, about the year 1760. He died on the fifth day of April in the year one thousand eight hundred and thirty-six as appears from an entry in my Church Books. I attended his funeral, & preached his funeral sermon. I am also acquainted with the members of his family. He left no widow him surviving. I am acquainted with his sons Conrad, Michael & Christopher. When said Adam Hartman died he was aged Ninety two, years & seven months and is recorded in my said Church Books, and on his

tomb stone, the inscription for which I furnished. I repeat, that said Adam Kortman was ninety two years and seven months of age, when he died on the 5 th day of April 1836 as aforesaid.

He made oath, that the facts set forth by him in the foregoing deposition by him signed are true and correct - and I certify that I am well acquainted with said Deponent & know him to be the Pastor of the Reformed Dutch church of Hurley & German Flats as he states, & that his statements are entitled to the fullest credit.
