Miss Jeanne T. Cason
9 Ladson Street
Charleston, South Carolina

Dear Madam:

   Reference is made to your request for information relative to William Cason of Georgia who served in the Revolutionary War.

  The data which follow were obtained from papers on file inthe pension claim, S.16338, based upon the military service of the only William Cason of Georgia that is found in the Revolutionaary War records of this office.

  William Cason was born April 10, 1749, in Pitt County, North Carolina.  The names of his parents are not given.

  While a resident of Fairfield District, South Carolina he enlisted, dates not given, and served two tours of two months each as private in Captain John Graves' company in Colonel Joseph Kirklin's or Thomas Taylor's South Carolina regiment.  He then served three tours of two months each and was engaged in making guns under the direction of Captain John Graves.  He then enlisted and served two months as private in Captain William Miller's South Carolina company.

  He was allowed pension on his application executed January 7, 1833, at which time he was a resident of Warren County, Georgia, having moved to Georgia from Fairfield District, South Carolina.

  William Cason died January 1, 1847.

  There are no data on file relative to his family.

  In regard to lists of Revolutionary War pensioners, the Report of the Secretary of War in relation to the pension establishment, which was printed in 1835, contains lists of pensioners and can be found, perhaps, in many state libraries.

XVI. †Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct ?
Yes
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 recol-
lection 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 24

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 paíd 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 in¬
definite, 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 embulied 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 em¬
ployed 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 sorvice by two arediblo witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of
the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of nis leaving the same, as well as the
regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oathe
must certifv to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magis¬
trate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
IQUERE 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 cer-
tificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or norrow 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.
