That in the month of June in the year ^cannot remember what year he enlisted as a soldier for six months in Captain Elizer Hubbard's Company in Colonel Talcott Regiment of Connecticut Militia at Glastonbury aforesaid.  Aron Hubbard was Lieutenant of said Company.  That Captain Hubbard's Company including this deponent marched to New Haven and then went on board of a sloop and sailed to New York where he saw General Putnam don't recollect how long he said there but crossed to Long Island don't recollect how long he said then two days after they had crossed to the City of New York 2 boats from Long Island were attack by the British flotilla and one boat turned back and the other attempting to go on every man in it except one was killed.  The British went up the East River and built a fort and fired across onto York Island.  That he retreated from New York went across the North River up to a place called Peramus [sic] and being unwell then crossed at Kings Ferry and joined the regiment commanded by Colonel Talcott on the North River where the terms of enlistment of Captain Humphrey's Company having expired and they were dismissed and went home.  That he served at this time six months.
That afterwards he cannot tell how long but when General Burgoyne came down from the north the British flotilla moved up the Hudson River from New York and the militia in and about Glastonbury were called out to guard the country bordering on the Hudson from British depredations and he was called out in the company of the said Captain Elezer Hubbard Colonel Talcot died soon after his return from the said six months.

And when after Burgoyne was taken the British vessels retreated down the river, he with the American troops followed with a piece of flying artillery drawn by horses firing upon the vessel whenever a convenient place occurred and followed them as far as Fiskill and then turned off east and went home with the company, That he was out at this time about a month and in service and were dismissed when they started for home. That in coming out on this expedition they rode on horseback as far Danbury near West Point when the British a little previous had burnt some stores, but returned home on foot
That previous to his serving as aforesaid on the expedition to New York and soon
after the commencement of the war of the Revolution he was drafted in the militia at Glastenburgh aforesaid for the purpose of going to New London in Connecticut - but for how long he cannot recollect, he was unable at the time to leave home and hired a man to take his place, who performed the service and
to whom he paid therefore the sum of
Eighteen dollars. That if he could go to
Glastenburgh he thinks he could obtain full
evidence of his services but is very poor and
very old and wholly unable to do so, and

procure who can testify to his services and
has no documentary evidence thereof

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

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  evolutionary 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 in stance, 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.

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)  hatever 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. 
[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 --- of the Court of --- hereby certify (h) that the foregoing contains the original  proceedings of the said Court in the matter of ---
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office (i) this --- day of & 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

and State, Territory or District
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office, this day of & c.

Every applicant will produce the best proof in his power. This is the original discharge or commission; but if 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 17

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. Did you ever receive a discharge from the service, and if so, by whom was it given and what has become of it? 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.
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.
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.
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.
The declarant must mention the period or periods of the war when he served
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 clamant must state, with precision, the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so dence 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 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 as than the person in the following grades:--For---year----months, and days
, I served as a -- For months and days, I served as a ; 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 intention to the pensioner and the fruit of his service. The use of the parent or 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 the early shown under what is the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement;
there 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
The law makes the relinquishment indispensable.
The summons of The Clerk must give his certificate in every case.
The Clerk must fix 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 pub the 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.
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 to are all equally applicable to the cases of Militia men, Volunteers and State Troops, The proof required by rule in
note applies to continental troops only.
This traditionary evidence is indispensable in militia cases.
If a witness cannot be found, the declarant must state the fact
The answers to the interrogatories must all be written, and sent to the War Department, with the declaration.

Gentlemen:-
For the purpose of joining the Illinois Society Sons of the American Revolution, I call upon you for some date, which the Society tells me I can procure from you.
My ancestor John Smoot I believe born in Virginia about 1850 and received a pension in Hardin Co. Ky.
Also my ancestor Lemuel Tubbs born circa 1743 to 1750 lived to be very old, served in the Revolution I think in New York and received a pension in Colchester Co. Vermont.
Would thank you for all the information contained pertaining to those ancestors, as the Society is quite rigid in its requirement. Please let me have it as soon as possible as I am not in position to determine my moves these days.
Sincerely,
Harold L. Smoot,
