That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officer, and served as herein stated. In the County of Ulster in the state of New York in May 1776 this applicant first entered the service as a draft for a tour of seven months, which he served out in full until sometime in December of the same year. [illegible, Following?] year the commandant of the regiment to which applicant belonged Logan was his major, Samuel Clark his Captain, and Cornelius Hawsbrook his Lieutenant.
He went first to New [illegible, town?] there joined his company and went by water to the place afterwards called Fort Montgomery where he joined his regiment and went from thence to Kings Bridge where he joined the Brigade, having remained there about ten days, we burnt the Barracks destroyed the Bridge crossed the Hudson at Fort Washington and went up the to Kings ferry and crossed and went from thence to near mouth of Croton river which we crossed: we went from thence to Polypus Island above the Highlands where the remainder of the tour of seven months were spent in constructing [illegible, Chevron?] defense across the river. In the following year (1777) in the same county and state, this applicant was drafted into service again for a tour of seven months which he fully served out. He went under command of Peleg Ransome, a Captain, Lieutenant Nathaniel Potter to a place called Poctoctin on the western confine of Ulster County in the State of New York, where he

In re: Thomas Kelsey - S. File 2687 
War of Revolution.
You are advised that from the papers in the above noted pension claim, it appears that Thomas Kelsey was born in March 1754, place not stated. He enlisted in Ulster County, New York, in May 1776 and served as a private for seven months in Captain Samuel Clark’s Company. He re-enlisted in 1777 and served seven months in Captain Peleg Ransom’s Company, Colonel Pawling’s Regiment. 
He was allowed pension, on petition executed September 27, 1832, while residing in Montgomery County, Virginia, and he noted in 1833 to Ohio, to live with one of his sons, names of children not given.
Very truly yours, 
[signed] Washington Gardner
Commissioner.

BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims, of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of Thomas Kelsey, which require further proof or explanation.
I. Does the declaration show where the applicant resides? 
II. Did the declarant make the declaration in the county where he resides? 
III. If the applicant did not make the declaration in the county where he resides, is there any reason assigned for his not doing so? 
IV. Has the declarant mentioned the period or periods of the war when he served? 
V. *Has he mentioned 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 amout of pension he is entitled? 
VI. Has he given the names of the officers under whom he served, in conformity with the regulations? 
VII. Has he made a relinquishment of every claim to any other pension than the one under the Act of June 7, 1832? 
VII. Has the Court given their opinion? 
IX. Has the Clerk given his certificate? 
X. Is the Clerk's seal affixed? And if so, has it a device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal?
Page 11

XI. Has the applicant obtained the evidence of a clergyman and another respectable citizen as to their belief respecting his age and the general belief in his neighborhood relative to his revolutionary service? 
XII. If the clergyman's affidavit has not been produced, is there any reason assigned for not obtaining it? 
XIII. If the applicant has no documentary evidence, and has not obtained the testimony of at least one living witness, has he stated in his declaration that such proof cannot be had? 
XIV. If the applicant's name is not found on the rolls of military service, has he produced a witness or witnesses as to his service? 
If he has produced direct proof as to service, has the magistrate who administered the oath, certified to the credibility of the witness or witnesses? 
Has the proper officer certified to the official character and signature of the magistrate as the regulations direct? 
XV. Does it appear from any of the papers that the witness was in such a situation, or of such an age, as to have a personal knowledge of the applicant's service? 
XVI. Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct? 
XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not so answered? 
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--- year --- months, and --- days, I served as a --- For --- months and ---- days, I served as a --- and for such service I claim a pension.
Page 12

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 objectionable. 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 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 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.

He was at the battle of Monmouth. After the war he lived in Virginia, then in Ohio and then in Indiana. He was probably entered on the pension rolls in Virginia or in Ohio. Will you kindly give me what information, if any, may be in your office concerning him, and oblige
