year
and
EXPLANATORY NOTES.
QUERE V. 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-
-- months, anddays
, I served as a fordays
, I served as a
months
and for such service I claim a pension.
Page 13

3
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 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 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 objection
able. It must in every case be clearly shewn 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.
QUERE XIV. 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 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 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.
QUERE XVI. Mode of authenticating
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 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.

Sir
Agreeably to your request I
have reexamined the papers of Israel
Ingalls whose claim has been heretofore
rejected and have to state that his
name is found on the rolls of the New
Hampshire militia in this office and
that it appears therefrom that he
served five months in Colonel Weman's
requent in 1777, and twenty three
days in Colonel Nicholas's regiment
in 1778, as a volunteer to R. Island. The
act under which he claims provide for
none who did not serve six months
He is not therefore entitled to a
pension. Mr Ingalls claimed for a tour of five and one months,
The papers in the case of John
Logan are herewith enclosed. In order
to obtain a pension under the act
of June 7, 1832, he should make a decla
ration setting forth particularly, the officers
under whom he served the places where the
service was performed; and the time of
entering and leaving the service. The rolls
Page 20

of service in this office have been
examined and his name is not found
thereon such proof should therefore
be exhibited as is required in note
in the enclosed printed sheet. The
official character and signature of W.
H. Harrison Clerk of the Hamilton County
Court should be authenticate either by
the seal of office or by your certificate,
according to the rule laid down in note
in the enclosed sheet. The enclosed
papers should be again returned to this
office.
I have the honor to be
