Rev War ~ Clever, Barnhart (Barney)

Rev War ~ Clever, Barnhart (Barney)

Surnames: Clever
I find references to Rev. War military service (ancestry/rootsweb) but I am unable to find "proof". Several sources show:
"CLEVER, Barney (Barnhart) was a private in the 4th Co., 3rd Battalion of Cumberland Co."
I have a printout from Harrisburg DAR listing Barnhart Clever, PA in the "Our Patriots" section, but I am unable to find more in their online search.
Thanks in advance.

The Pennsylvania State Archives has put on the internet copies from a card file regarding Rev. War items, including data from militia rosters.

http://www.digitalarchives.state.pa.us/

Read the intro, scroll to bottom to link to on-line listings. Then scroll down to the Rev. War. section and clink to get to the alphabetical card listings. The cards give the sources of their items.

There are two entries that could be for your man or for someone else, and perhaps are what the DAR chapter referenced. Try alternate spellings as well.

You can also use the NSDAR web site to contact the DAR chapter and use the email contact information to ask them what was meant and if they have any further information.

I am assuming the entries you found are for my ancestor. I have sent an email to the DAR info contact and am waiting for their reply.
Thanks for your time and advice. I appreciate it.
