KOHN [sic] KINTER 
Of Pennsylvania

   John Kinter applied for revolutionary pension while living in Indiana County,
Pennsylvania, in 1833. He was born May 15, 1755. His birth was recorded in
German in his father's Bible which he gave to Conrad Shuey, the husband of his
niece. John Kinter enlisted in 1777 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in
Captain James Clark's company. He served again in 1778 and 1779 and in 1780 he
went into service as a substitute for his brother, Peter Kinter, who had been
drafted. He died April 29, 1836. His widow, Isabella Findley Kinter, applied for
pension in 1836 when she was 82 years of age and therefore born in 1754. She was
married to John Kinter in August, 1782, in Lancaster County by Rev. Enterly.
They had nine children among them John Kinter and Peter Kinter. The widow lived
until after 1852.
