I have Charles Dickey (1760-1823) listed as one of my Revolutionary War participants but I discovered that Eli isn’t listed as a son on his pension.<br /><br />Charles Dickey<br />Private<br />Montgomery County, Pennsylvania<br />(Montgomery was Philadelphia Co at that time)<br />11th Pennsylvania Regiment<br />Under Colonel Adarin Hubley<br />Under Capt Bush Company<br />Served through January 1784<br />Discharged in New Jersey<br />Participated in battles:<br />Short Hills, Brandywine, Paoli, Germantown, and Monmouth<br />Was at Valley Forge<br />Pennsylvania Line 9 months under Capt Kean<br />21 May 1818 Pension of $8 per month<br /><br />At the time of his pension, he owns “an old tin plate stove; one case of drawers, a table, and dough trough, six chairs, two iron pots” Real property: none<br />Day Laborer, but frequently is not able to work because of rheumatic pains. His wife who is unable to support herself (45) and 6 children.<br />Mary 16<br />Charles 13<br />Ann 9<br />Jesse 6<br />Henry and Hiram (twins) 3<br /><br />Eli isn’t listed. Eli was a wagon-maker by trader. He would have been 12 when his father applied for a pension, so he may have been an apprentice not living at home since they were very poor. The rest of the children on the list match. However, this is speculation… it’s odd that everything else matches.Annette Lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12949722764761976364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5792182418688329417.post-13547525993866918092020-12-19T15:07:56.547-06:002020-12-19T15:07:56.547-06:00Yes, classical genealogical nightmare!! ;-)Yes, classical genealogical nightmare!! ;-)Dr. Bill (William L.)
