Jacob Christian Ardinger's patriotism came in the form of his military service in the 6th Pennsylvania Battalion of the Cumberland Militia of the Pennsylvania Line. On the 9th if April 1776, he was listed as a private in Captain William Rippey’s Company. He is likely to have taken part in his battalion's expedition to Canada from April 1776 to March 1777. The battalion marched to Albany, NewYork, and then went north to Trois Rivieres on the St. Lawrence River in Canada. On 7 and 8 June 1776, the battalion fought with the British and Canadians; seventy-eight were killed or captured. Both the battalion commander and Captain Rippey were captured.
The battalion returned to Carlisle in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, on 15 March 1777. Most of its men re-enlisted for three years as members of the 7th Pennsylvania Continental Line. Jacob Christian was listed again on the same rolls as “Christey Artinger” on 13 June 1777, as “Christy Antinger” on 20 February 1779, and as “Christn. Athinger” on 17 August 1781. He was also listed on the rolls of Captain Alexander Peeple’s 4th Company, 1st Battalion in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania
.Ardinger moved to Williamsport in about 1787 and obtained land on Vermont Street. He raised a large family and many descendants still reside in Washington County. Ardinger died in Williamsport on Jan. 1, 1807.

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
