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.

And every Court having by law a seal and Clerk is considered a Court of Record.

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 C.D. residing in (the same) hereby certify, that we are well acquainted with , who has subscribed and sworn to the above delaration; that we believe him to be 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.

A very full account of the services of each person

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.
An 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.

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.

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

He was born in the County of Amelia State of Virginia on the 25th of October 1761 as appears by a record of his age in his fathers family bible now in possession of another member of his fathers family in the County of Wilkes No Carolina. His father moved when was very young to the County of North Hampton in the State of No. Carolina and there his father died about the commencement of the war. His mother then returned to the County of Amelia Va where they resided until this applicant went into Lewis. He does not recollect when that was exactly but he thinks it was before he was of age to be drafted and must have been in 1776 or 1777. He was not old enough to be himself drafted but went as a substitute for a man whose name he does not now recollect under the command of Cape. Wm Jones

He remained with the troops until they were discharged in Campden but he never received a written discharge from the service. He had engaged to serve from this after crossing the line of No Carolina, but was out 9 months.

At the time of Arnolds invasion he was drafted into the Virginia Militia and marched to Richmond. Petersburg and towards the seaboard nearly to Suffolk and continued with the troops until they were dismissed, but how long that was he

After the war about the time when Peace was made between the Un.
