Boyer Sent: Saturday, October 7, 2006 7:41 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [PANORTHA] Isaac Shimer This is an excerpt from my discussion of Captain Rundio's Company of the Pennsylvania Line, including in the page on the Conrad Waltman's family: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/%7Eboyerlinks/Waltman/part1_conrad.html#rundio Isaac Shimer was one of those listed in Pennsylvania Archives as a member of Captain Rundio's company having been killed at or just after the Battle of Fort Washington. However, there is evidence that some of the suggestions of deaths in the Pennsylvania Archives were not correct. At least three of the ten who were reported to have died were still living in the 1800s. a.. Isaac Shimer, a private, is listed in the Archives as "promoted to Lieut. of Capt. Arndt's Company; d. Jan. 14, 1777." The well-regarded register of officers in the war, by Francis Heitman,[50] apparently agreed with this conclusion of early death. It gave this entry for Shimer: "Isaac Shimer (PA), 3d Lt of Baxter's PA Battalion of the Flying Camp, 9th July 1776; wounded and taken prisoner at Fort Washington, 16th Nov, 1776 and died shortly afterward." However, a website of the Shimer family said that after the war, Isaac Shimer became a justice of the peace in Williams Township, Northampton County, and that he lived from 1749 to 1838. This suggests he was 27 when the war began and that the reports of his death in early 1777 were exaggerated.[51] [50] Heitman, Francis B., Historical Register of Officers of the Continental Army during the War of the Revolution, April 1775 to December 1783, Rare Book Shop Publishing Company, Inc., Washington, D.C., 1914.
