that said Company and Regiment were composed of a class of men called "Minute Men" whose duty it was to hold themselves continually in readiness to march at a minute's warning; - to guard the lines; go out on scouting expeditions; repel invasions & that the term for which he joined said Company was one year, and he faithfully continued in service during the period agreed on, and at the expiration of said term he was permitted by his Captain to go home; but had not a written discharge; it not being their usual to give written discharges to Militia men of that character; that during said term, he was in several skirmishes, to wit; two at Elizabethtown Point, one at Short Hill, in which Genl (Lord) Sterling commanded; he further states that he was in the battle at Springfield and recollected seeing Genl Dayton, Captain Dayton, Captain Millers and various other officers of the Regular Army, at said last named place; but cannot now recollect their names
Page 6

that he was discharged from said service at Rahway in said County of Essex in the month of April 1778.

That on the 25th day of June 1779, he the said applicant enlisted for six months in Captain John Craig's Company in the Regiment commanded by Col (name forgotten) of the New Jersey Line on Continental establishment; - that during his term of enlistment, he was not engaged in any battle, and he was regularly discharged at Elizabeth town, in said state, at the end of said 6 months; and returned to the militia and was attached to Captain Benjamin Crane's Company in Col. Jaquish's Regiment, and the term for which he engaged was one year, and actually continued with said Company & Regiment during said term agreed on, performing the various duties of a "Minute Man"; that during the period, which included the year 1780, he was in several skirmishes, & thinks that it was during the term of his service that he was in the battle of Springfield,
Page 7

and that said battle should not have been mentioned in his first term of service, (but whether it be a mistake as to time or not, he is not certain that he joined said Company & Regiment in said County of Essex, New Jersey, and shortly afterwards marched with them to Woodbridge in Middlesex County, in the same state, and there remained one month, and returned to said County of Essex, where he remained until discharged, at Rahway, about the close of the year 1780; - that in the month of January 1781, he the said applicant again enlisted for twelve months, in Captain John Scudder's Company (then an officer in the Continental Line at Elizabeth town in said state of New Jersey and marched to Dobb's Ferry in the state of New York, passing through Newark and Hackensack; that during his 2nd term of enlistment, he was not in any battle; and at the end of said term he was

That all of said discharges were lost in Virginia many years since, and have never yet been found.

5th State the names of some of the Regular Officers, who were with the troops where you served; such as Continental & Militia Regiments as you can recollect, and the general circumstances of your service.
Answer - I have already stated these matters in my declaration; but I have omitted the surgeon of Genl Dayton's Brigade of Continental troops; his name was Moses Elmore and he was present at the battle of Springfield.

6th Did you ever receive a discharge from the service, and if so, by whom was it signed, and what has become of it?
Answer. I received no written discharge while a "Minute Man", but was merely permitted to resume my ordinary occupations when my respective terms had expired.

REGULATIONS UNDER THE ACT OF JUNE 7, 1832.
The following regulations have been adopted:
This law has been construed to extend, as well to the line, as to every branch of the Staff of the Army, and to include under the terms "Continental Line," "State troops," "militia," and "volunteers," all
persons enlisted, drafted, or who volunteered and who were bound to military service, but not those who were occasionally employed with the army upon civil contracts, such as Clerks to Commissaries and to
Store Keepers, &c. Teamsters, Boatmen, &c. Persons who served on board of Private Armed Vessels are also excluded from the benefits of the law, as well as persons who turned out as patrols, or were engaged in guarding particular places at night, and were not recognized as being in actual military service.
Four general classes of cases are embraced in this law:
1. The Regular Troops.
2. The State Troops, Militia, and Volunteers.
3. Persons employed in the Naval service.
4. Indian Spies.
As rolls of the regular troops in the Revolutionary War exist in this Department, all persons, claiming the benefit of this law as officers, non-commissioned officers, musicians or privates, will in the first instance, make application by transmitting the following declaration, which will be made before a Court of Record of the County where such applicant resides. And every Court having by law a seal and Clerk is considered a Court of Record.
DECLARATION,
In order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress of the 7th of June, 1832.
State, Territory, or District of County of } ss
On this [day] day of [month/year] personally appeared (a) before ... 
A.B. a resident (b) of [place] in the county of [county] and State, Territory or District of [state/territory/district] aged (c) [age] years, who being first duly sworn, according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provion made by the act of Congress, passed June 7th, 1832. That he enlisted in the Army of the United States in the year (d) [year], with ... and served in the ... (e) regiment of the ... line, under the following named officers:
[Here set forth the names and rank of the Field and Company Officers; the time he left the service; (and if he served under more than one term of enlistment, he must specify the particular period, and rank and names of his officers;) the town or county and State in which he resided when he enered the service; the battles, if any, in which he was engaged, and the country through which he marched. This form is to be varied so as to apply to the cases of officers and persons who belonged to the militia, volunteers, navy, &c.]
He hereby relinquishes every claim (f) whatever to a pension or an annuity, except the present, and he declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of any Agency in any State, or (if any) only on that of the Agency in the State of 
Sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid. A. B.
[And then will follow the certificate of the Court.)]
And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion (g) that the above named applicant was a revolutionary soldier, and served as he states.
I [name] of the Court of [place] do hereby certify (h) that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said Court in the matter of the application of [applicant name] for a pension.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office (i) this [date] day of [month/year] & c.
If, on examination of the proper record the names of applicants, making such declaration, cannot be found, they will produce such proof as the rule given in note (j) points out.
Every applicant who claims a pension by virtue of service in the State Troops, Volunteers or Militia, except those who belonged to the New Hampshire Militia and State Troops of Virginia, will make and subscribe a declaration similar to the foregoing, with the following additions, viz:
(k) We, A. B., a Clergyman, residing in the [place] and C. D. residing in (the same) hereby certify, that we are well acquainted with [applicant name] who has subscribed and sworn to the above declaration; that we believe him to be [age] years of age; that he is reputed and believed, in the neighborhood where he resides, to have been a soldier of the Revolution, and that we concur in that opinion.
Sworn and subscribed the day and year aforesaid.
[And then will follow the certificate of the Court.]
And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion, after the investigation of the matter, and after putting the interrogatories prescribed by the War Department, that the above named applicant was a Revolutionary
Soldier, and served as he states. And the Court further certifies, that it appears to them that A.B. who has signed the preceding certificate is a clergyman, resident in the [place] and that C.D., who has also signed the same is a resident in the [place] and is a credible person, and that their statement is entitled to credit.
I, [clerk name] Clerk of the Court of [place] do hereby certify that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said Court, in the matter of the applicacation of [applicant name] for a pension.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal
of office, this [day] day of [month/year] & c.
Every applicant will produce the best proof in his power. This is the original discharge or commission; but it neither of these can be obtained, the party will so state under oath, and will then procure, if possible, the testimony of at least one credible witness, stating in detail his personal knowledge of the services of the applicant, and such circumstances connected therewith, as may have a tendency to throw light
upon the transaction.
If such surviving witness cannot be found, the applicant will so state in his declaration (l) and he will also, whether he produce such evidence or not, proceed to relate all the material facts, which can be useful in the investigation of his claim, and in the comparison of his narrative with the events of the period of his alleged service, as they are known at the Department. A very full account of the services of each person
Page 19

3
will be indispensable to a favorable action upon his case. The facts stated will afford one of the principal means of corroborating the declaration of the applicant, if true, or of detecting the imposition, if one be attempted; and unless, therefore, these are amply and clearly set forth, no favorable decision can be expected. All applicants will appear before some Court of Record in the County, in which they reside, and there subscribe and be sworn to, one of the declarations above provided, according to the nature of his case.
The Court will propound the following (m) interrogatories to all applicants for a pension, on account of service in the Militia, State troops, or Volunteers, except the Militia of New Hampshire and the State troops of Virginia.
1. Where and in what year were you born?
2. Have you any record of your age, and if so, where is it?
3. Where were you living when called into service; where have you lived since the Revolutionary war, and where do you now live?
4. How were you called into service; were you drafted, did you volunteer, or were you a substitute? And if a substitute, for whom?
5. State the names of some of the Regular Officers, who were with the troops, where you served; such Continental and Militia Regiments as you can recollect, and the general circumstances of your services.
6. {To a Soldier. Did you ever receive a discharge from the service, and if so, by whom was it given and what has become of it?
{To an Officer. Did you ever receive a commission, and if so, by whom was it signed, and what has become of it?
7. State the names of persons to whom you are known in your present neighborhood, and who can testify as to your character for veracity, and their belief of your services as a soldier of the Revolution.
The Court will see that he answers to these questions are embodied in the declaration, and they are requested to annex their opinions of the truth of the statement of the applicant.
The applicant will further produce in Court, if the same can be done, in the opinion of the Court,
without too much expense and inconvenience to him, two respectable persons -one of whom should be the nearest clergyman, if one lives in the immediate vicinity of such applicant, who can testify, from their acquaintance with him, that they believe he is of the age he represents, and that he is reputed and believed in the neighborhood to have been a Revolutionary soldier, and that they concur in that opinion. If one of these persons is a Clergyman, the Court will so certify, and they will also certify, to the character and standing of other persons, giving such certificates.
The traditionary evidence of service is deemed very important, in the absence of any direct
proof, except the declaration of the party. And the Courts are requested to be very particular in the enquiry whether the belief is general, and whether any doubts have ever existed upon the subject.
Applicants unable to appear in Court by reason of bodily infirmity, may make the declaration before required, and submit to the examination, before a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record of the proper county, and the Judge or Justice will execute the duties, which the Court is herein requested to perform, and will also certify that the applicant cannot, from bodily infirmity, attend the Court.
Whenever any official act is required to be done by a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record, or by a Justice of the peace, the certificate of the Secretary of State or Territory, or of the proper
Clerk of the Court or County, under his seal of office, will be annexed, stating that such person is a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record, or a Justice of the Peace, and that the signature annexed is his genuine signature.
No payments can be made on account of the services of any person, who may have died before
the taking effect of the act of June 7, 1832; and in case of death subsequent thereto, and before the declaration herein required is made, the parties interested will transmit such evidence as they can procure, taken and authenticated before a Court of Record, showing the services of the deceased, the period of his death, the opinion of the neighborhood respecting such services, the title of the claimant, and the opinion of the Court upon the whole matter.
[footnotes:]
[a] The declarant must appear in open Court, unless prevented from doing so by reason of bodily infirmity; in which case the declarant will follow
the rule laid down for his guidance.
[b] The declarant must make his declaration in the county where he resides. If he should fail to do so, he must assign a sufficient reason for not conforming to the rule.
[c] The age of the claimant must invariably be mentioned.
[d] The declarant must mention the period or periods of the war when he served.
[e] Every continental officer or soldier must give the name of the Colonel under whom he served; otherwise a satisfactory examination of the claim cannot be had. Every claimant must state, with precision, the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the Department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he 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 [blank] year [blank] months, and [blank] days , I served as a [blank]. For [blank] months and [blank] days, I served as a [blank] and for such service I claim a pension."
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 to the grade the pensioner and the length of his 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 that 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 in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.
[f] The law makes the relinquishment indispensable.
[g] The opinion of the Court is always required.
[h] The Clerk must give his certificate in every case.
[i] The Clerk must affix his seal, and if it has no device or inscription by which it  can be distinguished from any other seal, or if he 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.
Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other papers 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.
Proof of Service.
[j] In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimant's 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 who 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.
The notes from [a] to [i] are all equally applicable to the cases of Militia men, Volunteers and State Troops. The proof required by rule in note [j] applies to continental troops only.
[k] This traditionary evidence is indispensable in militia cases.
[l]If a witness cannot be found, the declarant must state the fact.
[m] The answers to the interrogatories must all be written, and sent to the War Department, with the declaration.

Sir/
I send you, inclosed, the Declarations of Miles Williams and Jonas Frazee, with the accompanying vouchers of each, with a view to obtain [crossed out:'a'] the pensions under
the act of Congress of June 7th 1832.

By mere accident, the applicants have been enabled to obtain another witness to that part of the service of each, in the Continental line, during the year 1782.-

The additional witness thus obtained, is a
very infirm old man, who resides in an adjoining County, who from severe indisposition, was
unable to attend our Supreme Court, now sitting
in this City, had he been disposed to have
attended.-  It is presumed that the proof is now,
not only sufficient, but that the mistake in naming to Col. Jonathan Dayton, & Co. Taylor, as
Page 48

the commanders of the respective regiment (when there were no such colonels, is sufficiently explained.--  In the [illegible] of
Secretary of War, in his first instructions, and
opinion of the construction of the act of
Congress in question, "time has so reduced
the number of those veterans, and of the witnesses of their services and sufferings, that
to demand of them positive proof independently of their own statements, would be to deprive many of them of the benefit of the
act".-

In conclusion, I hope sir, that the evidence in relation to the regular service of each of said applicants, will be found be sufficient; but should it not, you will please make the services in the mil[illegible] alone, the basis of your estimation of the pension of each applicant.-

I am respectfully

Dear Sir I am requested by Mr Jonas Frazee of Hamilton county, Ohio, who is to the best of his knowledge about the age of ninety five years, to ask of you a favor if it is in your power to grant it.

Mr Frazee made application to procure a bounty land about the first of April last past and review a receipt in due time of its reception, and after an examination of said application was duly informed by the Commissioner of Pensions, the his application had been examined and suspended "for want of evidence in his offices.

I then wrote to the Secretary of State of the State of New Jersey, asking for information on the subject who wrote me, that he must be informed of the name of the county in which he enlisted before he could certify to any service and asked pay for the same, now Mr Frazee thinks that to be unnecessary as you will see from the following facts, (a true copy)

War Department - Revolutionary Claim
I certify that in conformity with the law of the United States of the 7th June 1832, Jonas Frazee of the State of Ohio, who was a private in the Army of the Revolution is entitled to receive eighty dollars and   cents per annum during his natural life commencing on the 4th of March 1831, and payable

Also we have in his own words a short note of his
enlistments as follows,

In the year 79, I enlisted under captain John Craig in Robey  and I got my discharge on Christmas day in Elizabethtown in New Jersey.  In the year 80, I did Militia duty under Captain Billy Manning.  I was stationed at Woodbridge for one month.  In the year 81, I enlisted under Captain John Scudder.  I got my discharge on Christmas in Robey again.  In the year 82 I enlisted under Captain John Craig in Robey again for one year and got my discharge on Christmas day again, Jonas Frazee

The old gentleman is entirely blind.

Now sir if you please Mr Frazee would beg the
the favor of you to make some enquiry in the
matter and ascertain if you can conveniently
which office or where it will be necessary to
apply for to obtain the proper evidence to establish
his claim as it must be comatable some where or
how could he be able to draw a pension for the
last twenty years
If you can accommodate
this old gentleman he will be willing to 
compensate you to your satisfaction,
you will please address

Gentlemen:

Will you kindly furnish me the Revolutionary War record of JONAS FRAZER, born in Westfield, N. J. Essex County ) August 4, 1759, died at Miamitown, Hamilton County, Ohio, Oct. 7, 1858, buried at Cleves, O.

He enlisted at Westfield, N.J. under Capt. Craig, in 1780, and re-enlisted under Capt. Scudder, served out three years, was honorably discharged. He received a land grant from the Government; but no pension until a few years prior to his death in 1858 -- and then but
$80 a year.

Some 12 or 14 of the FRAZEES ( all relatives) served in
the Revolution, but I am led to believe that this was my great-grandfather, and I desire the information to establish my eligibility in the D.A.R.

I particularly want the names of his children, if same
appears on the record; and the names of his wives, if shown. It is my understanding that he was married at least three times.

Thanking you for the courtesy of an early reply, I am,

Sincerely,

re:  Rev & 1812 Wars Section

Dear Sir:

I wrote you early in January asking for the Revolutionary record of JONAS FRAZER, and have your reply under date of Feb. 11, 1927 giving the record of JAMES FRAZEE.

I am at a loss to know if this was simply a mistake in the name, or whether the record was that of James Frazee, instead of JONAS.  So many of the Frazee family served in the Revolution that you may have given me the history of the service of one for the other.

I shall appreciate word from you in regard to this matter.  The Registrar of the Daughters of the American Revolution informed me that the Pension Bureau had a record of the children of all marriages of the applicants, and I hope to find something to give me a lead that would enable me to locate my
grandfather Stephen -- who is believed to have been a son of JONAS FRAZEE.

Very truly yours,
Anna I. Frazee

Dear Sir

I wonder if you have any record of a man by the name of Frazee or Frazier who enlisted in the Revolutionary War from Rahway N. Jersey, he had a son by the name of Jonah Frazier who was also a soldier.

We think maybe the senior's name was Daniel.  The name is a Scotch one and was originally spelled Frazier, but a Frenchman
Page 90

Public Writing Desk
Miami, Florida

who married into the family influenced him to change the spelling to Frazee, the descendents who now use it as a middle name spell it Frazier.

Frazier moved to Hamilton County, Ohio directly after the war and we were told he received several sections of land for his services in the army.  I am unable to find historical mention of New Jersey troops receiving land but I think Virginia soldiers did.  In the old deeds the name was spelled Frazee.  The court house
Page 91

Public Writing Desk

at Cincinnati burned sometime ago destroying all records.

Some of this land is still on the family but as it has not been sold there has been no abstract made.  He dies sometime between 1823 and 1838.  If he drew a pension you probably have a record of him.

I certainly would appreciate any information you could give me concerning him.  He is my grandfathers grandfather.

Thanking you very much
I am yours very truly

Madam:

 have to advise you, that the name of the Revolutionary War pensioner, whose record was furnished you, February 11, 1927, was Jonas Frazee. If the name was given as James in said letter, it was a clerical error.

You will see that in the last paragraph of that letter
that it is not stated whether he had any children.

The names of all the wives and children of soldiers of
the Revolution on account of whose services pensions were claimed are not on file in such claims, there was no law that required such evidence to be filed and in many claims there is no information on file as to family at all.

Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT,
Commissioner.

Madam;
I have to advise you that from the papers in the
pension claim, W. 10038, it appears that Jonas Frazee was
born August 24, 1759 at Westfield, Essex County, New Jersey.
While living there he enlisted and served as a private
and minute-man in the New Jersey Troops as follows:
From April 1777 for one year in Captain John Scudder's
Company, Colonel Samuel Potter's Regiment and was in skirmishes at Elizabethtown Point and Short Hills.
From June 25, 1779 for six months in Captain John Craig's
Company, after which he was attached to Captain Benjamin
Crane's Company, Colonel Jaques' Regiment, served twelve
months and was in the battle of Springfield.
From January 1781 to December 25, 1781 in Captain John
Scudder's Company.
From January 1782, in Captain John Craig's Company,
under Major Hayes, until December 25, 1782 and was in several
skirmishes with the refugees.
Page 102

He was allowed pension on his application executed
May 21, 1833, while living in Miami Township, Hamilton
County, Ohio.

He married in Hamilton County, Ohio, August 28, 1824.
Sarah Ackley and he died there October 5, or 7, 1858. She was allowed pension on her application executed May 22, 1860, while living in Hamilton County, Ohio, aged sixty-two years.

It is not stated whether they had children.

Very respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT,
Commissioner.

Hon. Otis Wingo,
House of Representatives,

My dear Mr. Wingo:

In reply to your letter of the seventeenth instant, I have the honor to advise you that a careful search of the records of this Bureau fails to show that a claim for pension has been filed by Mrs. Mary Jane Frazee
Skidmore, on account of the services of her father Jonas Frazee, in the Revolution, under Captain Craig and Scudder of New Jersey.

It is proper to add that said Jonas Frazee and his widow Sarah were both allowed pension on account of his Revolutionary War services, Widow's File No. 10,038 [10038], and there is no data as to children in their claims. There is no provision of law that would entitle the child of a soldier of the Revolution to pension.

Very respectfully,

Commissioner.
