• Notes

  THE BEBOUT FAMILY IN FLANDERS AND NORTH AMERICA, 1943, by Alexander C Flick, p 27: "BENJAMIN [Bebout 6911-2482], b. Dec. 4, 1758. He served in the Revolution. Samuel H. Phillips, a grandson of Lieut. Col. David Phillips [6917-2466] and Sarah Bebout [6912-2465/2466] (No. 23), wrote the pension office that his grandmother [Sarah Bebout 6912-2465/2466] had three brothers in the Revolution, Peter [6907], John [6909-2505], and Benjamin [6911-2482]. He had often 'talked with Benjamin, who lived to be 90 years old, and I am now 80' (b. 1835). He said he was one of the Minute Men (Letter of Apr. 25, 1905, in Pension Office). Benjamin Bebout applied for a pension claiming service under Capt. Gavin McCoy in the First Regiment of Somerset Co., militia; enlisted in Bernards township Aug., 1777, and was at the battle of Springfield, June 23, 1780. He resided in Washington Co., Pa., on Aug. 22, 1853, the date of his application (Pension Office, Rejection No. 646). His application was not rejected on the ground of a denial of Revolutionary service, but because the length of service was not sufficient to meet the pension law. After the Revolution he married Dec. 7, 1784, HANNAH MORTLETT [6955-2482]. With his wife and five children he migrated to Washington Co., Pa., where he lived over sixty years. His wife d. Feb. 11, 1830. He made his will at Paris, Pa., on Sept. 23, 1854, and died Nov. 8, 1857, within a month of his hundredth birthday. His will was probated Dec. 2, 1857 (Will Book Court House Washington, Pa., VIII:1)."
