County of Lancaster
On this twenty-fifth day of August, in the year of Our Lord, One thousand eight hundred and thirty-eight, personally appeared in open Court, before the Honorable Isaac Lewis , Presiding Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of the County of Lancaster, in the State of Pennsylvania, Margaret Hartman , a resident of the City of Lancaster, in the County of Lancaster and State aforesaid, aged sixty nine years , who being first duly sworn, according to law, doth on her solemn oath, make the following declaration to wit: in the benefit of the provision made by Act of Congress, passed July 1, 1838, entitled "An Act granting half pay and pensions to certain widows": That she is the widow of Jacob Hartman , who was a private soldier in the army of the United States, during the Revolutionary war; he enlisted in the year 1776 or 7 in the village of Germantown in the County of Philadelphia under Colonel Hampson or Humpston , in the Pennsylvania line, for during the war. She does not now remember nor can she tell the name of his Captain, nor of any of the other officers under whom he served. Sometime after his enlistment, he joined the main body of the army under the command of General Washington, and marched with it to the river Brandywine, where he was engaged in the battle which was fought on its banks on the 11 th September 1777. Here he received two very severe and dangerous wounds, one in each leg immediately above the knee joint. Of these, the one was occasioned by a musket ball passing entirely through the limb, and the other by a bayonet with which he was stabbed whilst lying on the ground in a state of extreme exhaustion from the loss of blood which flowed from the

gun-shot wound. From the field of battle, he was removed with many other wounded wounded soldiers, to the Barracks at Lancaster Penna. where he received surgical aid. At this place, he remained a great length of time, without any benefit whatever, in consequence of which, he was afterwards removed to Germantown, where he was attended by Dr. Frailech. Under this gentleman's care and attention, he finally recovered, and was enabled to rejoin the army. Subsequent exposures and hardships however, in addition to the pains occasioned by his wounds, again disabled him from doing active field service and he was thereby disabled - as this deponent believes - to do garrison duty, which he continued to perform at Lancaster, until the time of his discharge, which took place at the end of the war. In consideration of his wounds, her husband, the said Jacob Hartman, was afterwards placed on the Pension list of the United States, and continued regularly to receive his pension from the Agent at Philadelphia, until the time of his death.
She further declares, that she was married to the said Jacob Hartman on the 12 th day of May, in the year One thousand seven hundred and eighty-nine at the Tulpehocken in the County of Berks and State of Pennsylvania, by the Rev. M c Shulze. That her husband, the aforesaid Jacob Hartman died sometime about the year 1811 or 12 at Bern-Hill in the County of Berks, she cannot be certain as to the exact time of his death, inasmuch as being given to intemperance he frequently left his home for weeks and months together, leaving her with a family of children, and without any information whatever, as to where he might be found. It was upon one of these occasions, that he died. She also declares that, she was not married to

him prior to his leaving the service, but the marriage took place previous to the first day of January, seventeen hundred and ninety. Son, viz: at the time above stated; and she still remains his widow.

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Jacob and William Hartman.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims for pension and bounty land made to the United States, based upon military service of soldiers in that war.
A search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the Revolutionary War service of William Hartman. It is suggested as a possible means of securing data relative to the military record of this soldier, that you apply to The Adjutant General, War Department, Washington, D. C.
The record of the only soldier named Jacob Hartman, that is found in the Revolutionary War records of this office, is furnished herein. The data furnished were obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, W. 4450, based upon his service in that war.
The data and place of birth of Jacob Hartman are not shown in the claim, nor are the names of his parents stated.
Jacob Hartman enlisted in 1776 or 1777 at Germantown, Pennsylvania, served as a private in Captain John Douglas' company, Colonel Richard Hampton's

Eleventh Pennsylvania regiment; he was wounded in both legs at the battle of Brandywine, upon his recovery, being unable to do active field service, he did garrison duty until the close of the war.
Jacob Hartman was allowed pension from March 4, 1789, on account of disability resulting from the above mentioned wounds. In 1792 he was residing in the Borough of Reading, Berks County, Pennsylvania.
Jacob Hartman married May 12, 1789 in Tulpehocken, Berks County, Pennsylvania, Margaret (Peggy) Cox. He died about the year 1811 or 1812 at Bernhill, Berks County, Pennsylvania.
His widow, Margaret (Peggy) Hartman, was allowed pension on her application executed, August 25, 1838, then aged sixty-nine years and living in Lancaster, Pennsylvania; she was still living there in 1848.
Their children were referred to but no names were given.
Very truly yours

Your communication of the 15 th inst. has been duly recd. The information which it contains is nothing more than was expected; but it seems to me a most singular anomaly that pensions should be allowed for five years to the widows of soldiers for the usual term of one year and eighteen months, whilst those enlisted for a term of five years and during the war, receive nothing. I was induced to prepare the petition for Mrs. Sherman solely on account of her extreme poverty. I must comply without any hope of success whatever.

War Dept. Pen Office Sept. 24, 1888
Sir,
The papers in the case of Margaret Hartman widow of Jacob Hartman deceased, have been examined and filed with suspended case. It is alleged that her husband enlisted in Col. Hampton's reg t of the Pennsylv. Cavalry line and continued in the service until the end of the war. There are rolls here of those who belonged to Colonel Hampton's reg t in 1778, and her husband's name is not on said rolls, nor is his name on any of the records in this office of those who served in the Pennsylvania line. One of the witnesses who gives traditional evidence states that she has frequently heard Peter Poutyman mention before his death that Jacob Hartman was in the same regiment with him and that they and served together as fellow soldiers. On referring to Poutyman's paper it is found that he served as a militia man and served less than one year, during the revolutionary war. The service of the claimant's husband should be proved as required in the first

rule in the enclosed printed sheet. The pay upon which her husband obtained a pension as a Revolutionary Invalid were burnt with the War Office in 1801.

Accompanying this letter you will receive the Discharge of Mrs. Margaret Hartman in a Pension under the act of Congress of July 1861 together with the necessary vouchers. Mrs. H. has no recollection of her husband having been recd. a pension. I think it was granted to her son in the way of her being widowed in the Disbursement of the services of her father. You will also receive the Discharge of Mrs. Margaret Hartman, the widow of John Hartman, a private soldier in the late war. I believe the resolutions annexed to it will be amply sufficient. There are many persons here who knew John Hartman personally, to have been an industrious soldier and well liked. To the fact of the records of his having been killed, I am with their belief in its correctness. Such for instance, was the case with Mr. B. B. B. the Alderman who took the Oath of Disposition. Whilst it was reported he stated that he himself was acquainted with Hartman, and upon the facts set forth in his Disposition which was subse- quently taken. The widow is very poor and exceedingly illiterate, which is the reason why earlier application has not been made. She is now aware of the fact, so any law that will be passed by Congress to meet similar cases. The Rev. Mr. Baker, I believe was the first to call her atten- tion to it a few weeks since, and in consequence thereof she applied to me to assist her in a claim which having done, I hope will be found abund- antly sufficient. She has never had any children, would she be entitle- ed to the tract of donation land granted to industrious soldiers of the war?
