Revolutionary War Patriot -- Waggoneer
Son of John Bebout and Mary Miller.
Married Mary Thurman August 25, 1747, on his 18th birthday.
Father of Peter, Joanna, John, Mary, Benjamin, Sarah, Samuel, Catherine and Daniel.
John's sons Peter, John, Benjamin and Daniel were Revolutionary War soldiers.
John Bebout, born at Piscataway, NJ Aug. 25, 1729, married about 1747, when apparently he was only 18 years of age, MARY THURMAN. He settled at Vealtown (Somerville) in Somerset Co., NJ. This was about six miles across the valley from Long Hill in Morris Co., where his brother Peter lived. He joined the Presbyterian Church at Basking Ridge, NJ..
The family tradition is to the effect that John Bebout served in the Revolutionary War, but actual military service has not been found. He served in the Department of the Quarter-Master General, for on June 28, 1780, he received from Joseph Lewis, Quarter-Master at Morristown, Certificate No. 1098 for $186.60 for carting, up to April 13, 1780 (MSS. 4287, p. 9, Adjutant General's Office, Trenton, NJ). Again on July 31, 1781, he received from Timothy Pickering, Quarter-Master General, Cert. No. 2882 for the sum of $5.60 for similar work (Quarter-Master General's Dept., Book A, Voucher 230)..
After the Revolution he moved first to Sussex Co.,NJ, and shortly afterwards to Washington Co., PA, about 1786. There he was listed in the Federal Census of 1790 as having a son over 16 and a daughter. The son might have been Daniel--the other children had all married--and there he died June 21, 1803..
Children of John Bebout, all born in Somerset Co., NJ. The dates of birth are taken from a manuscript, "Bebout Ancestry", compiled by Mrs. Sarah Bebout Paddock of Mt. Vernon, Ohio, who copied them from the Bible record.
Although there is an SAR document indicating John was buried at Chartiers Hill, a search of the cemetery, church records, and history indicate he was buried elsewhere.
