To the
Commissioner of Pensions,
Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:
I have before me a letter from the Department of the
Interior, dated the 9th of September, 1850, signed by D. C. Goddard,
Acting Secretary of the Interior, examined and countersigned by J. S.
Edwards, Commissioner of Pensions, advising Elizabeth DeAngelis,
widow of Pascal C. J. DeAngelis, who was a private in the Revolutionary 
War, that she is inscribed on the pension list at $84.94 per annum,
beginning on the 4th of March, 1848. This paper is endorsed that payment 
should be made at Albany, N. Y., by T. W. Olcott, Esq., and the words:
"recorded in the Pension Office on the roll of Pensioners under Act
February 2d, 1848, page 60, volume 4. As I am interested in looking
up our ancestors, can you advise me how I could obtain a copy of the
papers on which was based the granting of the pension?
In a letter from the Adjutant General's Office of the State of
Connecticut at Hartford, under date of January 22d, 1893, it is mentioned
that "the name Jesse Sheppard appears on list of pensioners of
Connecticut in 1818, as published in Pub. Docs., First Session, Sixteenth
Congress." Will you kindly advise me how I could obtain a copy of
the papers upon which this pension was granted
In case the securing of any of the above information would involve
any expense, I would cheerfully pay anything that was reasonable, but
perhaps it would be more business-like for me to know beforehand about
what the cost would be.
Trusting that I may be favored with an early reply, I am, my dear
Sir,
Yours very respectfully,

Sir
Pascal C. J. De Angelis of Holland Patent Oneida County N.Y. died on the 8th day of September 1839, leaving a widow, Elizabeth De Angelis surviving him. Soon after his death an application was made to the U. S. Government in behalf of his widow, for a pension, which was granted.
The widow died several years ago. It became necessary, in furtherance of the application, to prove the marriage between the above parties, & in order to do so, a leaf from their family Bible, containing the record of such marriage, was cut out and forwarded to Washington as evidence, under a premise that it should be returned. This has never been done & the Family, being desirous of replacing it in the Bible, devise me to apply to the pension office for its return. It can, undoubtedly, easily be found in its place among his papers relating to Mr. De Angelis.
Page 34

pension.  Possibly the leaf was sent to ^Washington pending an application in behalf of the husband, Pascal C. J. DeAngelis.  My wife, who is a daughter of Mr & Mrs DeA, is not quite sure.
Please forward the document when found to the undersigned, by mail.
Very Respectfully

EXPLANATORY NOTES.

QUERE V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long her served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words:
"Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A.B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades; For ---- year --------- months, and ----- days, I served as a ------------. For ------- months and ------- days, I serves as a -----------; and for such service I claim a pension.
Page 40

It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of service. The use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours; the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must in every case be clearly shown under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either in the field or garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.

QUERE XIV. Proof of Service
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he mist prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate whop may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.

QUERE XVI. Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the the certifying officer, who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.

* In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, has no public seal of office, the certificate of a member of congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.
