  • James R. and Lorraine H. Humer Collection MG-167 Mater
    Hamilton Library Cumberland County Historical Society Carlisle, PA Name: James R. and Lorraine H. Humer Collection MG-167 Materials: Papers (1747-1903, bulk 1777-1782) Volume: 1 linear feet (1 Document Box) Donation: James R. and Lorraine H. Humer L2013.170 Usage: There are no usage restrictions on these materials. Abstract This collection consists mainly of records associated with Continental Army Quartermaster Department personnel headquartered in Carlisle, Pennsylvania during the American Revolution. Beyond the American Revolution era records, the Humer collection also includes numerous pieces of personal correspondence and business and legal records associated with two prominent individuals from 18th century Cumberland County: Samuel Postlethwaite and John Agnew. Historical Note During the American Revolution, the Continental Army’s Quartermaster Department appointed representatives to orchestrate logistical support for military units and depot activities in Pennsylvania west of the Susquehanna River. For this area—designated as the ‘Western District’, John Davis, a Deputy Quartermaster General with the rank of ‘Colonel,’ directed operations from Carlisle. Samuel Postlethwaite, also of Carlisle, served as Davis’s principal assistant. Other key district personnel included Samuel Rippey in Shippensburg and Thomas Smith in Bedford. Davis regularly reported on his activities and the status of his supplies to Department superiors in Philadelphia and to the Quartermaster General located with George Washington. Davis and his assistants handled transportation of supplies for both Continental line and militia troops from Pennsylvania and a few from Virginia and North Carolina. Transport of supplies to Fort Pitt was a major focus of their efforts, as was the delivery of arms and ammunition produced at the Carlisle Barracks and of hides and other animal parts from western Pennsylvania to Lancaster to support leather making activities directed by William Henry, Assistant Commissary General for Hides.
