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)."

Notes:

"History of Ashland County, Ohio", Geo. Wm. Hill, M.D., William Bro., 1880, pp. 205-206 Peter Van Nordstrand, Sr. was born in New Jersey, and after the close of the Revolutionary War emigrated to Westmoreland County, PA. His ancestors were from Holland. In 1816 he came to Clearcreek Township, Richland (now Ashland) County and located on section thirty-five, where he deceased in 1817, aged about fifty years. He had been a neighbor to the Baileys and Brytes in Westmoreland County, and was inticed to settle in the wilds of Clearcreek because of the emigration to that region. A brother-in-law, Archibald Gardner, located in Mifflin on the present site of Windsor in the spring of 1811 and forted at Reams in 1812. Mr. Van Nordstrand's sons were John, who subsequently removed to, and deceased, in Iowa; Isaac, who also located in Iowa; and Peter, who continues to reside in Clearcreek Township. The daughters were: Elizabeth, wife of Abraham Bebout; Anna, wife of William Andews; Rachel, wife of David Urie; Effie, wife of Alexander McCready, Eleanor, wife of James McCool, Margaret, wife of Michael Shoup; Mary, wife of David Bryte; and Sarah, wife of John Mykrantz. Peter married Nancy Shaw and is now about seventy-two years of age. He states that when his father landed in Clearcreek, there were but eight or ten families in the township. The first schoolhouse in his part of the township was a little cabin of round logs, erected on the farm of the late Abraham Huffman, in 1817. The children of the following householders attended, Mr. Robert Nelson being the first teacher: Abraham Huffman, John Brown, Andrew Stevison, Robert Ralston, Widow Triegle, David McKinny, Rev. William Matthews, Levi and Thomas Brink, Widow Mary Van Nordstrand, and the children of Robert Nelson. The country was in its primitive condition, game was plenty, and the Indians from Sandusky hunted annually in the forests of Clearcreek for a number of years after the arrival of the first settlers. They were harmless, and rarely visited the cabins of the pioneers, except when they were driven to do so from pinching hunger. Peter Van Nordstrand, Jr., occupied the old homestead until about 1872, when his wife deceased. He is now residing with a son-in-law. He has been an exemplary member of the Christion Church for over thirty years. His wife was also a devoted member of the same church. It is rarely that men, in a single community, witness the changes that have taken place within this county in the last sixty years. From an almost unbroken forest, the hills and valleys of thes county have been reduced to cultivation, and every township teams with abundance. Schools, villages, and towns have sprung into being, as if by magic. From a few hundred the inhabitants of the county have multiplied until our population reaches over twenty-three thousand. The Indian that roamed over the hills and along the fertile valleys of this county, has long since removed to the far west, and his race will, ere long, become extinct.
