Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your request for information relative to Revolutionary War soldiers, Joseph Stevens or Stephens and Frederick Horn or Horne.
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, S.2321, based on the military service of Frederick Horn.
The date and place of his birth and the names of his parents were not given.
He enlisted at Easton, Pennsylvania, in 1776, and served fourteen months in Captain Thomas Craig's company in Colonel Arthur St. Clair's Pennsylvania regiment and was in the expedition to Quebec.
He was allowed pension on his application executed November 13, 1832, in Hamilton County, Ohio, at which time he was aged seventy-six years.
He was living in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1833.
The last payment of the pension of Frederick Horn was made to March 4, 1838, in March, 1838.
