General Notes: Husband - John Bebout

---

He was born in Holland, and when a young man sailed to America. He first located in New Jersey and was there married. The young couple resided in Sussex County, New Jersey, until 1801, when they moved overland to Washington County, Pennsylvania, there making a permanent home.
He was a second cousin of Ebenezer Bebout, Sr., of New Jersey.

He was a native of Holland, whence, when a boy, he came to America with his parents, who made a settlement in New Jersey. Here John learned the trade of tanner, which, in connection with farming, he carried on in New Jersey and afterward in Washington County, Pennsylvania, for a period in all of some thirty years. He came to Washington County in 1796, and purchased a tract of land (covering 300 acres) in what became North Strabane township. At that time men never went abroad without their guns and a plentiful supply of ammunition. There he lived until he was seventy years of age, when he moved to Mercer County, Pennsylvania, and there died. He was a member of Dr. McMillan's Church (Presbyterian), and while in New Jersey was an elder in the church there. As a Revolutionary soldier he served under Gen. Washington, rising from the ranks to a captaincy, and receiving a pension.

He came from Scotland. [CBRWC, 520]

He was born in Somerset County, New Jersey. [GPHWC, 1188]

He served as a "Minute man" of the Revolution, 1775 and 1776, in Somerset County militia, under Captain Platt Boyle, Colonel Stephen Hunt's battalion, of Brigadier-General Nathaniel Green's brigade, of New Jersey troops. He also served in the Continental army and was engaged at the battle of Monmouth, with Somerset County troops of Captain Garvin M. E. Coy's battalion and served later under Captain John Parker in the first battalion, commanded by Colonel Benjamin Coy.
