Dear Madam:
See Pa. archive. Fifth Series, Vol III, pgs 879. You are advised that it appears from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 39640, that Jacob Hartline enlisted in the fall of 1781 in Shepherdstown, Virginia, and served until October, 1783, as a private in Captain Baron de Uechtritz' company under Major Shaffner in Armand's Legion.
He was allowed pension on his application executed November 24, 1823, at which time he was a resident of Franklin County, Pennsylvania, aged sixty-six years.
In 1823 he stated that his family consisted of a wife and five children, and that the only ones at home were a girl aged about twenty-one years and a boy about seventeen years of age; the names of wife and children are not given and there are no further family data.
Due to the very large number of requests similar to yours, and the lack of a clerical force available for furnishing information, this office is unable to send more than two histories to each inquirer.
Very truly yours
