- THE BEBOUT FAMILY IN FLANDERS AND NORTH AMERICA, 1943, by Alexander C Flick, p 28: "DANIEL [Bebout 6915], b. Sept. 22, 1768. In 1835 he applied for a pension stating that he was drafted as a Revolutionary soldier in 1781, and served in Capt. McCoy's company. He belonged to the Somerset County [NJ] Militia at Millstone. He was wounded by a musket ball in the left breast in a skirmish with the tories and was off duty six weeks at home with his father till he recovered. He rejoined his regiment at Elizabethtown [NJ] and served out his six months, receiving a written discharge from Capt. McCoy. His application was rejected on the ground that he did not serve out his full six months (Rejection No. 689, Pension Office). He probably removed to Washington Co., Pa., and was included in the 1790 census as unmarried. He 'lived a number of years' in that region and then spent nine years in Trumbull Co., Ohio, after which he lived for twenty-three years in Kentucky. Finally in 1828 he went to Rush City, Md., where he was living Oct. 6, 1835, when he applied for his pension. At that time he asserted that he was 70 years of age on the previous Sept. 22,-- which if true would have made him born in the year 1765 instead of 1768. When and where he died is not known. No record of any wife or children."
