Sir:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim S. 39743, it appears that George Huber, while residing in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, enlisted in October 1775 and served in Captain Peter Dechert's Company, Colonel Magaw's Pennsylvania Regiment, he was in the battle of Fort Washington, where he was taken prisoner, after which he was released on parole, and reached home in January 1777.
He was allowed pension on his application executed September 28, 1819, at which time he was living at Heidelberg Township, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, aged sixty-seven years.
In 1820, soldier referred to his wife as aged sixty years, but did not state her name and there are no further data as to family.

Dear Sir:
In reply to your letter of February 13th, 1936 in which you state you are unable to identify the George Hoover, Revolutionary War Pensioner, I made inquiry of without more complete information I desire to give the following: aw
George Hoover  Huber or Huver , (name has been recorded under all three spellings). .enlisted from Pennsylvania in Revolutionary War, probably from Lancaster, York or Cumberland County.
According to a family tradition it has been stated that George Hoover- (Huber-Huver), enlisted from Lancaster Co., (but have doubted this, as think he resided and served from York Co.), and in Sept. 1819 he applied for Revolutionary War pension which was granted for 15 months service in the Revolutionary War. Mention has also been made of "Heidelberg" Penn- as having been the home of said Geo. Hoover a part of the time following Revolutionary War. There is a Heidlersburg in Adams Co. Penn. - and this may refer to this town, as it is located on the same creek as where he is supposed to have lived. In Lebanon Co. Penn., Schaffers town, Penn. I am told was at one time known as Heidelberg--so this Rev. soldier may have made application for pension from Lancaster, Lebanon, Adams or York Co. Penn. -- I am unable to state the county in which he resided at time of death-but possibly in Franklin County Penn--or Adams or York or Lebanon--Dauphin Co- If names of the children of George Hoover(Huber-Huver) are recorded in his pension claim they may include a Jonas, Samuel and George--and perhaps one other son and several daughters. I trust this information will be sufficient to identify the Rev. War pensioner, George Hoover-Huber-Huver that I am desiring to learn of family data given in his pension claim or application.

George Buber

The declaration of George Huber is herewith enclosed. A certificate was issued in favor of a person of this name, the 29 th July last, and sent to Henry Betz, Esq., Reading P.A. The declaration made before Judge Diemer of Berks County, is dated the 20 th July 1878, instead of "on or about the 18 th of May" which it is stated the first declaration was made; but the residence in both cases is Lebanon County, and the service in this, ends the year preceding the commencement of service in the first declaration. Judge Krause is requested to give the necessary information in this case. I have the honor to be,
Sir, Your Obed. Servt.
