War Dept. Pension Office, 
June 30, 1834. 
Sir:
The papers in the case of Andrew Turner have been examined. He alleges that on the first organization of the Maryland Militia he was enrolled, and that he was called upon once in each week for nine months to perform military duty. It does not appear that during this period that he was called out to perform a regular tour of duty against the enemy, but it is inferred from his statement was called out by his commanding officers at stated periods for the purpose of being perfected in military discipline. Such service is not provided for by the Act of June 7, 1832. The applicant also claims for services performed with his two wagons & teams, and also for services from 1782 as an assistant or Deputy Commissary and Forage Master under the authority of Colonel Carter of Connecticut, as is stated in his first declaration, and of Col. J. Wadsworth as would appear from his amended statement. Said services do not come within the provisions of the Act of June 7, 1832. The claim has therefore been rejected. The papers will remain in the files in this Office, excepting the Commission dated in 1812, which is enclosed. Hon. J. P. Heath
