There is a record of his age in his father's old Bible in the possession of his brother Henry in Canton, Stark County, Ohio.

Enlisted about two weeks before the flying Camp was destroyed at Long Island, thinks in 1776. In the Flying Camp for nine months under Capt. Weigner. Was ordered to meet the company at Morris Court House, Morristown, in New Jersey. He, with others, being enlisted to fill up the company, the company not being filled, and the flying camp destroyed at Long Island, the Company did not meet at Morristown and no further orders were received. In the same year and soon after said flying Camp was destroyed declarant was disabled [?] in the militia for three months at Upper Socken in Northampton County, Pennsylvania. Capt. John Robert, Col. Krueger (Dutch), Ensign Jacob Rumell, Lewt. John Stall, Adjt. Stephen Polgaar - Stationed 6 or 7 miles from New York and between Brunswick and the City of New York where continued until time expired. Snow fell about Christmas the night before discharged. The British were in New York. Got hay on Rariton river and whilst doing so the British light horse came and fired upon them but being in a hollow was not hurt - about 500 of Americans soon after came up and British went off. Rec'd no written discharge.

The next year in the summer volunteered three months at Upper Socken, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, for the purpose of guarding the British prisoners then at Easton in New Jersey under Capt. Shous (when took prisoners away from Easton).
Commanded stay at Easton with the prisoners and guarded them when prisoners were exchanged at Elizabethtown. There was no regular officers in command at Easton. Capt. Ornd who belonged to flying Camp was at Easton and wounded in arm when escaping from enemy when flying camp was taken. When time expired returned to his native town.

In same year of the battle of Brandywine volunteer for three months in Capt. Wagoners rifle company -- lay about two weeks at Allanstown in Northampton County and from thence went to Philadelphia, from thence to Chester, from thence to Willmington. There we were out a scouting. There being great alarm about the British being in neighborhood, about 25 of us were chased by the British 4 or 5 miles whilst we were scouting. Orders came late in one afternoon for us to go up the Brandywine. Started the same evening and arrived at dusk near where the British were and the American force. The next morning early the Battle of Brandywine commenced. Declarant and others of riflemen lay in a hollow between two fences and the enemy. And American cannon were fired over them. The riflemen were, as declarant supposes, placed there to prevent the British from advancing and they not advancing was the reason why as declarant supposes the Riflemen had no orders to fire and did not fire. After the battle went to Valley Forge and lay about two miles from Valley Forge until time expired -- officers Capt. Wagoner, Col. ___ Dunlap (a very smart man), Genl. ___ Potter, Sargeant --the declarant was so called. Capt.

Notes:

1985 Biographical Sketch: [491] "A second proof of Barbara Steele's ancestry was found in a document which George Baughman and his wife, Barbara Steele, made in 1785. In this document they gave power of attorney to George's brother, Jacob Bachman. The document, called a 'Letter of Money, George Bachman to Jacob Bachman,' was made in Northampton County. It is on file in the Courthouse in Easton. [492] Unfortunately the document had been filmed so that the available copy has white
lettering on a black background. It was impossible to get a photocopy. Two of us who are interested in the Bachman family have tried to obtain the original book with the original copy. Both of us have been unsuccessful. The document reads as follows:

"Know all men by these presents that George Bachman of Springfield Township in the County of Bucks in the state of Pennsylvania, Carpenter, and Barbara his wife late Barbara Stiehl being a daughter of Christopher Stiehl some time of the same place but late of Frederick County in the State of Maryland Farmer (or Tanner) deceased Have made and examined Constituted and appointed their trusty friend and brother, Jacob Bachman of the same county of Northampton in the state aforesaid Gentm. their true and lawful attorney for them and in their name and for their own proper use and benefit to ask demand recover and receive of and from the presenters of administrators of the said Christopher Stiehl deceased all such legacies, share, or shares divident or divident given or bequeathed unto them the said George Bachman and Barbara his wife of late Barbara Stiehl." Signed by George Bachman, X Barbara (her mark) 8 January 1785.

Barbara's father, Christopher Stiehl, evidently had left her in Springfield Township with her grandparents. He died in Frederick County, Maryland, but when he went there I was unable to ascertain. Christopher Stiehl made a will 2 October 1782. It was recorded in Frederick County, Maryland, following his death on 16 October 1782. [488]

From his will I learned the following about Christopher Stiehl. He was a farmer and a turner. A turner was a person who either worked in a sawmill, or in carpentry work - e.g. turning a lathe. He had married a second time to a woman named Catherine. By his second wife he had a son Abraham to whom he willed ' . . . all my Turning Tools and such other tools as am I obliged to make use of in my Turning Trade . . . ' He owned a Plantation on Spring Plains. His ten children, all by his second wife, were Elizabeth, Abraham, Catherine, Mary, Hannah, Susanna, Sarah, Eve, Solome, and Christopher.

In his will he did not provide for Barbara Stiehl, the only child by his first wife. At the time of her father's death, Barbara was twenty years old and had been married for one year. Whether or not Jacob Bachman, Barbara's designated attorney, was ever able to acquire any money or property for her from Christopher Stiehl's estate is not known."

1997 Biographical Sketch: [489] "Christopher Stahl / Steele, once a staunch Lutheran, married into Dunker families. . . . Christopher Steele who had purchased his land Spring Plains from Dunker minister, Jacob Danner, of the Beaver Dam Brethren settlement (Bk. K:811) in 1766, apparently became a member of the Brethren, for he was fined by the Committee of Observation as a 'non-associator' on Apr. 12, 1776, but was reduced from ?6.10 to ?4.10 on June 18, 1776, because of hardship. (See Maryland Historical Magazine, v. XI, no. 3, Sept. 1916, p. 257). He was deceased by 1782. His will, written Oct. 2, 1782 was probated in Frederick County on Oct. 16, 1782. (Bk. GM:275). Steele's second wife, Catharine Wine Steele, was one of three designated executors. Named children were: Elizabeth, Abraham, Catharine, Mary Hannah, Susanna, Sarah, Eva, Solome, Christopher. Several of the Steele children moved to Rockingham County, some descendants marrying into the Bowman family."

Christopher — SCHLEIFFER, Mary. Mary (daughter of SCHLEIFFER, Johannes and Barbara) was born Abt 1740; died 1763. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

1997 Biographical Sketch: [489] "His first wife was Mary (d. 1763), daughter of Johannes Schleifer, immigrant of 1739 and descendant of an ancient Anabaptist family, whose ancestors Hans Schleifer was martyred in the sixteenth century. Johannes was baptized by Elder Peter Becker into the Great Swamp Brethren Congregation. His son, John Schleifer, was the first resident minister at Broad Run, Middletown Valley, Frederick County, Maryland. Johannes was a brother of Mary Steele."
1767 Death: [493] Mary Schleiffer was deceased at the time her father Johannes made his will in 1767.
