ELIZABETH TEETER:

Her husband, Abraham Smith, was a private in the New Jersey Militia. Elizabeth filed Pension Application No. W-17013.

CHARLOTTE TEETER:

Her husband, Daniel Britton, was a private in the New Jersey Militia. He participated in the Battle of Monmouth and other key battles in New Jersey. Charlotte applied for a pension with Pension Application W-9750.

MARIE CATHERINE TEETER:

There is no evidence that her husband, John Dils, participated in the Revolutionary War. However, he operated a ferry near the Delaware Water Gap, and it is known that General Washington commandeered the ferry boats on the Delaware River to ferry the army across the Delaware for the Battle of Trenton. Thus it is quite possible that he had a part in this important battle.

The above listed Pension Claim 22836 from Harmon Hockingbery is of special interest because of the information it contains concerning the War Service of Captain Jacob Teetor, the others contain interesting War and Family information. Copies of these claims can be secured by writing to: General Services Administration, National Archives and Records Services, Collections Officer, Washington, DC 20408. Ask for NAR form 288. Fill out the form as directed and enclose your check for one dollar for each request ordered. The time required to process these orders is approximately one month.

The information above is taken from “A Teeter Family Genealogy 1730 – 1966” by Paul Teetor. I’m sure the cost of copies is more than one dollar. This was written in 1967. I have included the information under each persons name in the family tree. I decided to add this page to give everyone a full picture of the military records of your ancestors.
