State of Connecticut  ss County of Litchfield ss March 2nd A 1833.

At a Court of Probate for the District of Sharon holden at Salisbury on the 2nd day of March A 1833
Present Samuel Church Esq Judge.

On this 2nd day of March A 1833 personally appeared in open Court before the Court of Probate for the District of Sharon now sitting John Fuller a resident of the Town of Sharon in the County of Litchfield & State of Connecticut aged sixty nine years who being duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7. 1832.

I was born in the said town of Sharon on the 10th day of February 1766. I have no record of my age. When called into Service I was living in said  town of Sharon  I have with the exception of about two years resided in said town of Sharon ever since the [?] of the Revolutionary War and I reside in the same town now.

The year that Norwalk in the State of Connecticut was burnt which I believe was 1779 in the month of July I first entered the service of the United States
Page 4

under the officers herein named & served as herein stated.

I was drafted into a company of Connect Militia in the fore part of July of I can't remember the day of the month, commanded by Capt. Fletcher, whose christian name was John, of Salisbury in said Litchfield County, Lieut. Dibble of Cornwall in said County, and Ensign Benjamin Conklin of said Sharon.  I think the regiment to which our company was attached was Col. Adams regiment of Litchfield.  Oliver Walcott of Litchfield was in command as Brigadier General.  Under the aforementioned officers I served as a private for the term of three months for which service I claim a pension.  We marched from Sharon to Norwalk in the County of Fairfield & arrived there a day or two after that town was burned by the enemy as it was yet smoking.  We remained a few days at Norwalk & then marched to Stamford and Horseneck.  Colonel Phelps was there with a regiment, but I don't recollect his christian name.  Major afterward, Colonel Elmore of Sharon acted as aid to General Walcott.  I was generally employed during this term of Service in keeping guard at Sherrets Bridge, Byrams Bridge, guards were constantly kept at these positions.  I was in no battle during this time tho we   [?]   .  I never received any written discharge from this
Page 5

Service.

During the year of the Capture of Cornwallis in 1781 in the fore part of August of that year I was again drafted into a company of Connecticut Militia commanded by Captain Benjamin Conklin of said Sharon, Lieut Andrus of Canaan in said county & Ensign Bierce of Cornwall in said County. The names of our Colonel was Arnold but I don't recollect his christian name nor do I remember the other field officers name  the above named officers I served with for the term of three months and one half and during this whole tour I served as a Sargent and for this I also claim a pension.  We marched from Sharon to New Milford & Roxbury and from [?] to New Haven we remained on duty during this service at New Haven East Haven West Haven  in keeping guard.  There was another regiment of Militia on duty at the same time but I do not remember the names of the Officers nor do I remember that any Continental regiments or officers were with us at any time.  I received no written discharge from this Service, nor was I in any battle.  I do not recollect that I ever had any [?]  or Warrant as a Sergeant & if I ever did I know not what has become of it.  I have no documentary evidence
Page 6

by what to have either term of service & that I know of no person by whom I can prove on the term of service except those whose affidavits accompany this declaration. That I have made much inquiry & know of no other living witness, and have provided the best evidence in my power to obtain. 
I am known to Hon. John C. Smith, Ansel Sterling, Rev David D. Perry and others in my vicinity to whom my character is known & who can testify to my character for veracity & to their belief of my service, as a soldier of the Revolution. And I do hereby relinquish every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present. I declare that my name is not on the pension role of the agency of any state.

At the same court in open court personally appeared Robert Chapman & Amos Church of Sharon in the said County of Litchfield known to this court to be credible witnesses, who having been by said court duly sworn on their oath do testify and say, that we are well acquainted with Capt. John Fuller who has subscribed and sworn to the foregoing declaration in our presence, & have been acquainted with him from his youth. We know that in August of the same year in which Cornwallis was taken & in the fore part of the month that the said John Fuller was drafted into the service of the United States into a company of Connecticut Militia commanded by Capt Benjamin Conklin of said Sharon as he has stated in his said declaration. That he served under the3 officers named by him at New Haven and in vicinity or keeping guard for three months and twelve or fifteen days and that during this tour he served as a Sergeant. We know these facts because we were drafted at the same time into the same company & performed service therein at New Haven & as we for the term of said service discharged with the said Fuller. But of the

at that same Court personally appeared in open Court Andre Abel of Sharon in said district aged sixty eight years, who having been duly sworn does under oath depose and say that I am well acquainted with Capt. Fuller who has subscribed the foregoing declaration  I have been acquainted with him from my youth.  During the time of the Revolutionary War & as I think the same season that Norwalk in Fairfield County was burned I lived a [?] neighborhood  to the said John Fuller, the fore part of the Season I think about the middle of June  the said Fuller was drafted into a company of Continental Militia to perform a tour of duty to the South on the coast as I believe.  I recollect his going away owing to his draft the was about three months and some longer.  I recollect he returned during the fore part of October of the same year, others living in my neighborhood were drafted and went into the same service with said Fuller but they are all now dead or gone to parts unknown to me.

REGULATIONS UNDER THE ACT OF JUNE 7, 1832

The following regulations have been adopted:
This law has been construed to extend, as well to the line, as to every branch of the Staff of the Army and to include under the terms "Continental Line," "State troops," "militia," and "volunteers," all persons enlisted, drafted, or who volunteered and who were bound to military service, but not those who were occasionally employed with the army upon civil contracts, such as Clerks to Commissaries and to Store Keepers, &c, 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
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 Revolutionary 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 instance, make applications 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.

That he enlisted in the Army of the United States in the year (d)     , with      and served in the      (e) regiment of the        line, under the following named officers:

This 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) whatever 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                                             A. B. 
[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                        do hereby certify (h) that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said Court in the matter of the application of              for a pension. 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 C. D. residing in (the same) hereby certify, that we are well acquainted with           , who has subscribed and sworn to the above declaration; 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. 

Sworn and subscribed the days and year aforesaid.
[And then follow the certificate of the Court]
And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion, after the investigation of the matter, and after putting the interrogatories prescribed by the War Department, that the above named applicant was a Revolutionary Soldier, and served as he states. And the Court further certifies that it appears to them that A. B. who has signed the preceding certificate is a clergyman, resident in the                                                       and that C. D., who has also signed the same is a resident in the                                                               and is a credible person, and that their statement is entitled to credit. 

I,          Clerk of the Court of             do hereby certify that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said Court, in the matter of the application of                    for a pension.
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 once 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 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.
6. To a Soldier - Did you ever receive a discharge from the services, and if so, by whom was it gen, and what has become of it?
To an Officer - Did you ever received 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 the 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.
The traditionary evidence of service is deemed very important, in the absence of any direct 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.
[a] 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.
[b] 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.
[c] The age of the claimant must invariably be mentioned.
[d] The declarant must mention the period or periods of the war when he served.
[e] 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 claimant must state, 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 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 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."
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 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 highly objectionable. It must, in every case, be clearly shown under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or place 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.
[f] The law makes the relinquishment indispensable.
[g] The opinion of the Court is always required.
[h] The Clerk must give his certificate in every case.
[i] The Clerk must affix 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 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.
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.
[j] 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 [a] to [i] are all equally applicable to the cases of Militia men, Volunteers and State Troops. The proof required by rule in note [j] applies to continental troops only.
[k] This traditionary evidence is indispensable in militia cases.
[l] If a witness cannot be found, the declarant must state the fact.
[m] The answers to the interrogatories must all be written, and sent to the War Department, with the declaration.

Gentlemen, 
There is on file in your department the application for a pension of my great-great grandfather, John Fuller, of Sharon, Conn., who enlisted in July, 1779, for a term of 3 months, and again in Aug. 1781, serving a term of 3 and a half months as a sergeant. I looked over these papers in the Department about a year ago, and was told at that time that I could obtain photographic copies of the application and supporting testimony. Will you kindly let me know what will be the cost of such copies? I will remit the necessary amount as soon as I have the information.

Respectfully,
