These troops are said to have been in active service in New Jersey. Peter Bousher was a sergeant of the same company and a brother of Tobias. [Ref: Burkhardt BOUCHER p92]

The report of George Kunkle as Tax Collector in Albany Township in 1789 shows Tobias to have been a married man and a tax payer. Mrs. Kunkle stated in 1898 that Tobias was a son of Daniel and all events known seem to confirm this. [Ref: Burkhardt BOUCHER p92]
