State of Pennsylvania
Lebanon County, ss. On this 11 th day of August, 1832, personally appeared before me in open Court before the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas for Lebanon County aforesaid now sitting Andrew Huber a resident of Lebanon Township in the County of Lebanon and state of Pennsylvania aforesaid aged seventy years last May who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declarations in order to obtain the benefit of the act passed June 7. 1832. —
That he entered the service of the United States under the following named Officers and served as herein stated. —
First, as a piper in Captain Henry Bucher's Company in the regiment of militia commanded by Colonel Philip Greenawalt, Christopher Wegman Lieutenant Colonel and Swengel Major as a volunteer militia man; some time in the fore part of the summer of the year 1776 in the town and now Borough of Lebanon, then Lancaster now Lebanon County aforesaid, that he marched with the said company and regiment from the said town of Lebanon through Reading, Easton, Bethlehem Amboy and other places to Powles Hook near New York and served a term of duty during two months in the said Company and regiment. — That he enlisted as a private soldier into Captain Andrew Fricker's company of the Pennsylvania Flying Camp, some time in the after part of the Summer of 1776, for the term of six months, at the town of Newark in the state of New Jersey. John Stein was the 1 st Lieutenant, Peter Hart the 2 nd Lieutenant and John Groh the Ensign, that the regiment was commanded by Colonel Jacob Klatz of the town of Lancaster, and Boyd was the Major of the said regiment; that was present at a skirmish on Staten Island where an Outpost or Guard of Hessians were taken; that he was marched with a Detachment of the Army to the banks of the river Delaware, opposite the lower end of Trenton, towards Philadelphia on Christmas morning in the year 1776 for the purpose of crossing the said river to assist the army in the attack on the Hessians who were there taken, but were prevented crossing the said river, by means of the precarious state of the ice at said place. That he and his company were for some time stationed at Fort Lee above New York and marched and countermarched through several places in the states of New York and New Jersey; that he thinks they marched to Trenton some time in January 1777 after the Hessians were taken prisoners and from Trenton they marched to Philadelphia, where they were discharged and from thence he went to his place of residence in Lebanon Township aforesaid. That he served the said six months in the Flying Camp according to the terms of his enlistment; That in the summer of the year 1777 he served two months as a substitute for his brother D. A. Huber, as piper in Captain Oldenbrooks company of militia who were guarding the Hessian prisoners in the town of Lebanon, then in Lancaster now in Lebanon County aforesaid. — That he afterwards served a term of duty for two months as substitute for one Christian Becker in Captain Grace's Company of Militia then guarding the British prisoners in the town and County of Lancaster. That he has never received a written discharge and has no documentary evidence but believes that he can procure the testimony of the Hon. John Gloninger a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Lebanon County to prove that he served in the militia and in the Pennsylvania Flying Camp in the year 1776. and that he knows

of no other person whose testimony he can procure, who could testify to his having served. — that he recollects that out of their company whilst quartered at Fort Lee about 15 or 20 men were drafted to go to Fort Washington, they did go and their ensign, who commanded them was killed and the rest taken prisoners, most of them were returned. He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or gratuity except the present and to count the day and year aforesaid as a roll of company and  as  the  reunion of the reunion of the reunion of the Adam Ritscher, Clk
First Question by the Court. — When and in what place were you born?
Answer. — I was born in Lebanon Township aforesaid on the day of May 1762
2 nd — Have you any record of your age and if so where is it? Answer. — I have in my possession a piece of writing in the hand writing of my father mentioning the date in which I was born!
3 rd — Where were you living when called into service? where have you lived since the Revolutionary War? and where do you now live?
Answer. — I lived in Lebanon Township, then Lancaster, now Lebanon County when called into service; I have lived there since the Revolutionary War and do now there
4 th — How were you called into service? were you drafted? did you volunteer or were you a substitute and if a substitute for whom?
Answer. — In the year 1776 I volunteered into Capt. Bucher's Company, Col. Greenawalt's Regiment of Militia. — I also voluntarily enlisted into the Pennsylvania Flying Camp, but in Capt. Oldenbrook's Company of militia guarding the Hessian prisoners in the year 1777 I served as a substitute for my brother John Adam Huber as also in Capt. Gress's Company of militia guarding the British prisoners in Lancaster, where I served as a substitute for Christian Becker.
5 th — State the names of some of the regular Officers who were with the troops where you served, such continental and militia regiments as you can recollect and the general circumstances of your services?
Answer. — I was acquainted with Col. Curtis Gault who commanded a regiment of Militia in the year 1776, and with Capt. Wiler, Capt. Severy and some others of his Officers frequently saw Generals Washington, Lee & Mifflin and remember seeing four or five other general Officers but I cannot recollect their names. The general circumstances of my services are detailed in my declarations exhibited to the Court.
6 th — Did you ever receive a discharge from the service; and if so, by whom was it given, and what has become of it? I have never received any discharge or discharges
7 th — State the names of persons to whom you are known in your present neighborhood, and who can testify as to your character for veracity and their
beliefs in your services as a soldier of the revolution?
Answer. — I am known to a number of people in this neighborhood and I know the honorable John Gloninger and Philip Greenawalt can testify as to my character for veracity and as to the belief in my services as a soldier of the revolution. I know no clergymen who knows me sufficiently to make the certificate above requested for all those with whom I was acquainted are dead and gone and the persons now filling our church in this neighborhood are young men and know nothing about me.
At the same time. John Gloninger Esquire one of the Judges of the said court appears and being duly affirmed according to law doth declare and say that he was in the service of the United States the greater part of the Revolutionary War; that he is well acquainted with Andrew Huber the applicant above-named; that the said Andrew Huber was born and brought up in Lebanon Township then Lancaster but now Lebanon County about one and a half miles from the town of Lebanon where this affiant then and now lives. That in the year 1776 the said Andrew Huber belonged to and was Fifer in Capt. Henry Bucher's company, in Col. Philip Greenawalt's regiment of Pennsylvania militia and marched in the said company and regiment some time in the spring or summer of the said year (the exact time this affiant cannot recollect) from the said town of Lebanon to Bergen in New Jersey near New York on a tour of two months duty. That this affiant was with the said regiment as a volunteer on its march from Lebanon to Bergen aforesaid and frequently saw and spoke to the said Andrew Huber who served as Fifer in the said Company and regiment. That this affiant well recollects that the said Andrew Huber enlisted in the Pennsylvania Flying Camp in Captain Andrew Fricker's company in the regiment commanded by Col. Jacob Klatz some time in the summer of the year 1776 as a private soldier to serve six months. That this affiant was with the detachment at the time it crossed the river at Amboy and took an out post or guard of Hessian prisoners on Staten Island and that the said Andrew Huber was with the said detachment as by him in his declarative statement. That this affiant often saw the said Andrew Huber doing duty in the said Regiment of Flying Camp and remembers seeing him at Trenton some time after the Hessian prisoners were taken prisoners there, from which place he marched with his Company to Philadelphia in January 1777 when (as this affiant was informed) they were discharged. That according to the best of this affiant's knowledge and belief the said Andrew Huber served the full time which he engaged to serve as above mentioned. That this affiant being a neighbor of and well acquainted with the said Andrew Huber from his infancy was the reason he took so much notice of him in Camp. That this affiant was also acquainted with the above-named Col. Greenawalt, Capt. Bucher, Col. Klatz and Capt. Fricker; That the said Col. Greenawalt and Capt. Bucher lived in the town of Lebanon, that the said Col. Klatz lived in the town now City of Lancaster and the said Captain Fricker lived about seven miles from the town of Lebanon and that they are all dead.
