Company of Capt. Jacob Bower .- Captain Jacob Bower also commanded a company in the 6th Penn- sylvania Regiment, but there is no record of the com- pany. Previously he had been First Lieutenant in Capt. Benjamin Weiser's Company, and for a time Quarter-Master in Thompson's Battalion of Riflemen ; from which he became a Captain in the "Flying Camp," and then he was transferred to the 6th Penn- sylvania Line. Afterward he was transferred to the 2nd Pennsylvania Line, (January 1, 1783). A cap-

this Army, and he applied to Pennsylvania for 750 men as her proportion. To make up this proportion, the Executive Council sent a circular letter to Col. Jacob Morgan on August 15th, requesting him to sup- ply 350 men out of the 2nd class of the County Mili- tia, to make up the number demanded and ordered from Bucks County, all of whom were to march im- mediately. There were then two classes in their sec- ond month of service froin Philadelphia, Bucks and Chester, and one class from York and Cumberland. One of the classes from Philadelphia marched with alacrity to New Jersey. On the 28th of July, Col. Morgan had received orders to embody one class and forward the men with proper officers forthwith to Chester, and he replied on the 30th that he would exert himself to do so.
Col. Morgan replied to the circular letter on August 17th as follows, addressing the reply to the Vice- President of the Council :
"I just now had the honor of a letter from you of the 15th inst. by express, ordering the Second Class of Militia of this county to march. It is with great pleasure I can inform you that we have already marched two classes, having understood the Order of His Excellency, the President of Council, of the 31st of last March, in a letter from him of that date to me, to intend the marching of two classes.
"It is presumed that the greater part of the twelve companies, of which those two classes consist, are by this time at Chester, as several of them went from this town the week before last, others last week, and the last company yesterday. The whole number in the two classes, officers and privates, are six hundred and fifty- six men ; in the opinion of every one here hearty and able men, fit to take the field against our inveterate enemies. The two bat- talions are commanded by Colonels Daniel Hunter and Daniel Udree."
I2I

While the troops were rendezvousing at Chester, Council addressed a letter on August 20th to the Pennsylvania Delegates in Congress, in which they asked that a part of the militia be dismissed, if the public affairs permitted, because the men were very deficient in arms and blankets, and totally unprovided with tents, and also because the season for sowing Winter grain was at hand, on which the country greatly depended, and laborers were very scarce, on which account great distress might ensue if the militia were continued thus embodied.
Congress passed a resolution on August 22nd re- questing, among other things, that Pennsylvania keep up 4000 militia to assist in repelling the threatened attack of the enemy by the way of the Chesapeake and Delaware bays; that they should rendezvous at Lancaster, Downingtown and Chester, as Council should direct ; and that the militia be in the pay of the Continent until November 30th, unless sooner dis- charged.
On September 6th, the Council ordered the Lieu- tenants of the several counties to call out a class of militia and forward them to Derby with the utmost expedition and equipped in the best manner possible. The term of enlistment was for two months.
In a "Return of the Militia belonging to the State of Pennsylvania, September 6, 1777, in the Continen- tal Service," there appear two battalions from Berks County. They were commanded by Col. Daniel Hunter and Col. Daniel Udree. The former was in Potter's Brigade, and the latter in Irvine's Brigade. This return showed the following officers and men :

By referring to the "Militia Returns " in this vol- ume, it can be ascertained with reasonable certainty who the twelve (or ten) captains were that were com- missioned in the First and Second Battalions. The company rolls have not been found as yet.
SPYKER'S BATTALION AT WHITE MARSH.
On October 23, 1777, the Executive Council ordered that the 5th and 6th classes of Berks County Militia should be called out immediately, and Col. Jacob Morgan was accordingly notified. On November 9th, he reported to Council that two classes of the militia were in camp near Reading, and that he would for- ward two or three companies on the next day, but he did not know what he should do as to arms for the other companies that were at Reading.
On November 12th, Lieut. William Coats, in camp at White Marsh, reported to Council that Col. Morgan and his men had been there for two days, showing that he had forwarded the companies mentioned ; and on the 18th, he wrote from Reading to Council that he liad sent to camp about 400 of the inilitia, includ-
123
REVOLUTION.
ing officers, out of the 5th and 6th classes under Col. Henry Spyker, and, as those classes had not turned out as generally as was expected, he directed the com- manding officers of the different battalions to call out the 7th and 8th classes also. The camp mentioned was situated several miles to the north of Chestnut Hill, then in Philadelphia County, now in Montgomery.
From these letters, I can say that there were at least 400 of the county militia in service under Col. Henry Spyker, and these were doubtless placed in the Ariny under the command of Gen. John Armstrong, which was engaged at various times with the British around Chestnut Hill and Germantown. Having no special returns designating the captains of the several companies, I am not certain who they were, but it is likely they were taken out of the 6th Battalion of county militia.
No company rolls of this battalion have been dis- covered. The term of service was short, and when Gen'l Washington's Army went into Winter quarters at Valley Forge it is probable that the men returned to their homes in Berks County.
Reading Officer Wounded at Germantown .- The following incident of the Battle of Germantown was taken from "Watson's Annals of Philadelphia," 2 vol., p. 554. I have not been able to ascertain in which company from Berks County he was an officer. His name does not appear in the Militia Returns for 1777 :
"Lieutenant Whitman, of Reading, was left on the field, sup- posed to be killed or mortally wounded. After a while, he made out to crawl on hands and knees to the second house on the south
124
REVOLUTION.
side in Washington lane. There he was sheltered by the resident, and was visited by Doctor Witt, who soon pronounced his case in- curable, but, at the earnest begging of the lieutenant, he continued to try to save his life. He recovered surprisingly for a time. when a British officer, coming to hear of him, made him and his host both prisoners. While so held, lieutenant Whitman found a chance to get to speak with Major Andre, who procured him a re- lease. He then went to live with Mr. Hergesheimer, where he was nursed and fed till the time of the retreat or withdrawal of the British from Germantown. While he was there hiding him- self, for fear of a second capture, the American horse appeared, when he claimed their belp and protection. Just then, they cap- tured a country Friend, coming in to sell butter to the British, and, as his punishment, they made him take up lieutenant Whit- man in his chair to Reading He lived many years afterwards."
At the gate leading to Chew's house, a fine, large soldier from Reading was found dead. (p. 52.)
Washington's Army near the County .- In the "Itin- erary of Gen'l Washington," showing his movements during 1775, 1776 and 1777, the nearest point to Berks County that he reached was on September 21, 1777, when he and his army were in Pottsgrove town- ship, (now in Montgomery County) about four miles south-east of Pottstown, the British having moved after him up the west side of the Schuylkill River. He remained there until the 26th of September. This was twenty miles from Reading, or about six miles from the county line.
I have not been able to locate any of the Berks County companies as having been engaged in the Bat- tle of Brandywine, or the Battle of Germantown, or even in the rigorous encampment at Valley Forge. Washington selected Valley Forge as the Winter
125
REVOLUTION.
quarters for his army. Several of his principal gen- erals had suggested Reading as a proper place for this purpose.
Troops Encamped at Kutztown .- There is a tradi- tion at and around Kutztown that Washington's Army was encamped in Maxatawny township, about a mile north-east of Kutztown in 1777, and that Washington and his wife were along. This is not correct. Wash- ington's movements throughout the Revolution are known, and from his "Itinerary" it can be stated that he was not in the county during that entire period.
Colonel Lotz's regiment in the "Flying Camp," in marching from Reading to New York in August, 1776, went by way of Kutztown, Allentown and Easton, and it is likely that the men were halted there at the end of the first day, after a tramp of over sixteen miles, which may be considered a good day's march in hot weather, especially as an introductory experience ; and on August 15th the Battalion of Col. John Patton was also there on its way to New York.
In conducting the Hessian prisoners, that were taken at the Battle of Trenton, to Reading, it is not at all probable that they were marched out of the way first to Kutztown. Trenton is almost directly east of Reading, and they were marched to the Trappe and over the Philadelphia road either by way of the Swamp or the Pine Iron Works. But if they were obliged to ascend the Delaware River some miles in fording it, then it is possible that they reached Read- ing by way of Kutztown, and the tradition that they were there may be correct.
I26
REVOLUTION.
No British Invasion of the County .- King George III and his advisers were unwise to attempt the subjuga- tion of the American Colonies after they had effected a Confederation in which they were all equally inter- ested, and liad shown a deterininad spirit of combined resistance ; but the British Army, having crossed the Atlantic Ocean for that purpose, three thousand miles from the place of supplies, and requiring from thirty to forty days to accomplish the journey, the general in command was prudent in not venturing too far away from the coast in prosecuting the war. He did not presume to give battle far from Philadelphia in his imaneuvers after the American Army under Gen'l Washington. He marched up the Schuylkill Valley about fifteen iniles, but did not venture to go beyond Valley Forge, even though he was desirous of captur- ing the valuable stores at Reading, thirty-five miles farther 011.
The Battle of Brandywine occurred in Chester County on September 11, 1777, and the Battle of Germantown in Philadelphia County on October 4, 1777, in both of which the American Army was un- successful. But there was no battle in the adjoining county of Berks, not even a skirmish of any kind. Not a single detachment of the British Army crossed her boundary lines anywhere, or in any direction whilst carrying on military movements from one Colony to another. Hence, I have no losses nor inci- dents of any kind to describe as resulting from such a source. Geographically, the county was fortunately situated, and the inhabitants were highly gratified to know that their families and properties were exempt
127

from the cruelties and sufferings of war in their midst. They, however, realized the possibility of great losses from an invasion, and, appreciating the perilous situa- tion of the neighboring counties of Chester and Phila- delphia, they responded promptly to the numerous calls for troops and furnished willingly large quantities of supplies of all kinds towards sustaining the Conti- nental Army. This is made apparent by the com- plimentary expressions of the Executive Council in letters to the Lieutenant of the county, and also to the Commissioner of Forage for the successful manner in which they complied with the demands upon them.
DRAGOONS FROM THE COUNTY IN PROVOST GUARD.
Von Heer's Troop was organized under a resolution of Congress of May 27, 1778, establishing a Provost, to consist of a captain, four lieutenants, one clerk, quartermaster sergeant, two trumpeters, two sergeants, five corporals, forty-three provosts or privates, and four ex-carboniers. They were mounted and accou- tred as light dragoons, and were to apprehend desert- ers, rioters and stragglers. In battle, they were posted in the rear, to secure fugitives. Their duties were those of a provost guard. The corps was styled the Troop of Marechausse.
Capt. Bartholomew Von Heer resigned from Proc- tor's Artillery to take this command, and in some papers he is styled " Provost Marshall of the Conti- nental Army." The men were all recruited in Penn- sylvania, and the following were from Reading :

In the Spring of 1785 he removed with his family from Berks County to near the Falls of Schuylkill, Philadelphia County.

LINDEMUTH'S BATTALION ON FRONTIERS.
An attack having been made by Indians and others on the frontiers, Council determined on July 14, 1778, that Berks County should supply 300 men, one-half to be sent to Sunbury, and the other half to Easton, out of the Ist, 2nd and 3rd classes of militia, even the 4th if necessary, and issued orders to Col. Morgan for that purpose. Morgan replied on August 16th that he had sent 180 men to Sunbury and 123 to Easton, doubtless having called the four classes from all the battalions in the county.
These men, particularly the number sent to Sun- bury, were taken possibly from the battalion of Col. Michael Lindemuth, in the northern section of the county. I could not ascertain how many companies they were organized into, probably three at Sunbury, and two at Easton. On August 10th, Col. Hartley
129

reported from Sunbury that Berks County had fur- nished her quota of militia, but Lancaster was far short.
By the following action of the Supreme Executive Council, on December 31, 1778, it would appear that Col. Michael Lindemuth and his battalion were in active service out of Berks County :
" Ordered, That the secretary write to the Lieutenant of Berks County to call upon Col. Lindemuth, or his Lieut -Colonel, sta- tioned last Summer at Fort Jenkins in Northumberland, for five rifles taken from one Webb, charged with disaffection."
Subsequently, December 13, 1780, the Council, in ordering Col. Morgan to " pay off the militia who had marched on a late tour of duty," directed that no money be issued to Col. Lindemuth without the par- ticular direction of the Board. On June 9, 1789, Michael Moser was paid £7, 10sh. for 30 bushels of rye furnished to Col. Lindemuth's detachment of militia while in service on the frontiers in 1780.
HIESTER'S BATTALION WITH REED'S ARMY.
On July 28, 1780, Col. Morgan was directed to call out immediately three classes of the county militia, provided they numbered 600 men, exclusive of officers, and, if not, then to call out also the fourth class. This was the quota of the county towards supplying 4000 militia from Pennsylvania which Gen'l Washington required in order to co-operate with the main army, in anticipation of the movements of the British Army again to Philadelphia. The Battle of Camden was fought on August 15, 1780, and the British were vic-

torious. Col. Morgan forwarded the men that were ordered, and the greater part comprised the Hiester Battalion, the 6th of the county militia. It may have been under General Joseph Reed, in New Jersey. It is known to have been in service for thirty days from August 10th to September 9th, but the particular duty performed I could not ascertain.
