Isaac Horner claimed to have been a drummer and blacksmith in the State of New Jersey under Captain Peter or Phillip Snook(s) and served a total of 18 months during the years 1777-1778. He also supposedly was in the Battles of Monmouth & Princeton as claimed in the declaraton for a pension No. R.5,233 in 1847. He also stated that he & his father, prior to his entering the service, had a brigade of horses and received a certificate for service but was unable to find it when he applied. In 1849, Jacob Horner on behalf of his mother, Zilpha, aged 92, as widow applied for his pension and was still trying to make claim as late as Oct 1854 but was rejected as they failed to furnish proof of Isaac's services in the Revolution.
I researched the National Archives and could find no service or muster records for Isaac Horner. I could not find any record of a Captain Peter or Phillip Snook(s) either.
