General Notes: Husband - Lt. John Jacob Mytinger


He early espoused the cause of the colonies, and in 1780 he was second in command of Bartholomew Von Heer's company of light dragoons (see Engle's "Pennsylvania in the War of the Revolution," page 367). This company was authorized for special service by General Washington and rendered efficient service. (The same rank, lieutenant, and service, are given in The Historical Magazine, vol. v, p. 56). He continued with the rank of lieutenant in the same company until honorably discharged and mustered out at the close of the war. He was a member of the Society of the Cincinnati, and his signature is preserved on the original roll of that society. The name of Lieutenant John Mytinger is also found on the roll of Bartholomew Von Heer's light dragoons, preserved in the State Archives at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
