BA-J/ILL Jabez Hamner W. 655
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to Revolutionary War soldiers of Orange County, or Ulster County, New York, with the surname Hamner or Hamner; you state that you are especially interested in one Rachael Hamner, with a children Margaret who married Edward Gee, and cite also a John Hamner of Ulster County, in 1790.
A search of the Revolutionary War records has been made in your behalf and there is no claim for pension on file based upon service of a John Hamner, nor of a Rachel Hamner who applied for pension on account of a soldier with that surname, under any spelling. The record of only one soldier with that surname of Ulster or Orange County, New York, has been found—that of Jabez Hamner, shown also Hamner. The data given herein were found in the papers on file in that claim, W. 655, as it may aid you in your research.
Jabez Hamner was born in Cornwall, Ulster County (later Orange County) New York and lived there with his father during the Revolutionary War; the names of his parents are not shown.
He entered service about May 1, 1778, served as private in Captain McBride's and Davis' companies, Colonel Henry B. Livingston's 4 th New York regiment, was at Valley Forge, marched thence to Monmouth and was in the battle there, thence to White Plains and Albany, New York, was stationed at Fort Stanwix and returned home, length of service nine months; he enlisted in April 1779, served as private in Captains Abraham Westfall's company, Colonel Weissenfels' regiment and in Captain Drake's company, Colonel VanBuschoten's regiment engaged against the Indians, length of service eight months; he enlisted in April 1780, and served

eight months as private in Captain John Burnet's company, Colonel Weisenfels' New York regiment, during which period he was in an engagement with the Indians near Canajoharie just after they had killed Colonel Brown; he enlisted in the summer of 1781 and served three months as private in Captain James Carnahan's New York company.
Jabez Hamner continued to reside in Cornwall, New York, until about 1796, then moved to Ulysses, Tompkins County, New York.
He was allowed pension on his application executed July 18, 1832, at which time he was in his sixty-ninth year; he did not state the date of his birth. The soldier resided then in Ulysses, New York. He died there May 8, 1845.
The soldier married July 4, 1830 in Ulysses, New York, Anna Maria Jewell; they were married at her father's home by a Methodist Minister.
Anna Maria Hamner, the soldier's widow, was allowed pension on her application executed May 7, 1853, at which time she was aged fifty-eight years; the date of her birth and the names of her parents are not shown. Her name was borne on the pension roll as Anna Maria Hamner.
In 1853, Abiah Randolph, Anna Maria's sister, was a resident of Ithaca, New York, aged forty-five years "upwards"; her husband was Hiram F. Randolph. She stated that she was present at the marriage of her sister to Jabez Hamner.
One R. B. Harrison stated in Tompkins County, New York, in 1853, that he was well acquainted with Anna Maria Jewell and was present at her marriage to Jabez Hamner.
There are no further data regarding the family of this soldier.
Very truly yours,

I am seeking information of a Revolutionary soldier from Orange Co, NY. Probably from near Montgomery, and his name was Hanmore or Hanmer-- its spelled both ways. His wife's name was Racheal ---, and they had children, Alexander, David, and Margaret Hanmer , who married one Edward Gee. There may have been other children, but I have no records of others. There was a John Hanmore living in Montgomery, Ulster Co. (later Orange Co.) in 1790, but I do not know whether this is the one for whom I am inquiring..

The annexed paper, relating to the claim of Jabez Hanner under the abovementioned act, is respectfully referred to the Secretary of War, with a request that he will be pleased to cause me to be informed whether it appears, by any records in the War Department, that the claimant has received, or is entitled to receive, the bounty in land granted by Congress for service in the Continental Line of the Army of the Revolution.
