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:

A very full account of the services of each person
Page 9

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 ex-expected. All applicants will appear before some Court of Record in the County in which they reside, and there subscribe and 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 you age, and if so, where is it?

4. How were you called into service; were you drafted, did you volunteer, or were you a substitute? [Illegible]
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 serves.
6{ To a Soldier. { Did you ever receive a discharge from the service, and if so, by  whom was it given, and what has become of it?
{ To an Officer. { Did you ever receive 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 you in your present neighborhood, and who can testify as to your character for veracity, and their belief of your service 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 laconvenience 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.
{Illegible] done by a Judge or Justice of a Court of Records, or by a Justice of the Peace, the certificate of the Secretary of [Illegible], 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 service 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.

Mrs. Hale Houts
44 East Concord Avenue
Kansas City, Missouri
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the
Revolutionary War records of David and James Morrow, both of South Carolina,
soldiers of the Revolutionary War.
A careful search of the Revolutionary War records has been
made and no record found of a claim for pension or bounty land
having been made to the United States based upon the military service
in that war of a James Morrow. Such claims are the source
of the data furnished by this office. Your citations do not pertain
to the records of this office.
It is suggested that as a possible means of obtaining information 
in regard to the military service of that soldier, you apply
to The Adjutant General, War Department, this city, who is custodian
of military records.
The record of David Morrow, the only soldier of that name who
served in the South Carolina Troops that is found on the Revolutionary
War records of this office, is given below, the data for
which were obtained from the papers on file in his claim for pension,
S.7253, based upon his military service in that war.
David Morton was born in 1762, in the state of Maryland.
The names of his parents are not shown.
While residing in Craven (later Chesterfield) District, South Carolina,
David Morrow enlisted in January 1779, served two months
in Captain Philip Walker's Company, Colonel Winn's South Carolina
Regiment, and six months in same captain's pay in Colonel

David Morrow was allowed pension on his application executor

In 1839, he was living in Lafayette County, Mississippi, to which
county and state his children had removed.
The names of soldier's wife and children are not shown.
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, the

Sir
In behalf of a descendant I am
requesting a copy of the pensioner
certificate of David Morrow, who died
October 17, 1843, in LaFayette County
Mississippi. In 1837 the pension
was paid through the office at Decatur, Alabama
It is said that he was the first land
survey or appointed by the government
for Mississippi. In an old letter he
Page 16

mentions old friends as "South Carolinians".
But it has been thought his native
state was Virginia
He states that he fought in the Revolutionary
War and received a pension.
The pension record is desired for the
purpose of obtaining membership in
the Society of Daughter of the American
Revolution, and other patriotic organizations.
Very respectfully
Mrs Helen Nye Rupp. Registrar

Sir
Yours dated May 31st enclosing the
form a Transfer of a pension has been received
now forward to you inclosed the application
made out according to the directions given
The [illegible] (David Morrow the applicant) his
pension made payable at Natchez. There is now
due to him his pension for the last year and
a half. I am uncertain, not having the
laws of the United States with regard to pension
whether this application for a Transfer should
be sent to the Department at Washington
or to the Pension Office in Alabama
where he last drew his pension. His pension
certificate I perceive, from examination
was first made payable at Mobile - afterwards
as he informs me an agency was
established at Decatur, when he drew
the last which he has received. Now, I
am told there is no longer an agency
at Decatur. If we are wrong please
Page 23

return the application with directions as to
where it should be sent, and what is necessary
to be done in order that the old veteran, who
served with Sumpter and fought at the
Eutaw Springs may receive all that is due
and all that is yet to be rendered from his
Country
Respectfully Yours

Sir
David Morrow, now a citizen of
this County (Lafayette County Miss) and formerly
a citizen of the State of Alabama, who was a
private of Infantry and Cavalry in the army of
the Revolution, and has been for some time
receiving a pension, payable at Decatur
Alabama, wishes his pension paid at some point
near his present residence, there being no
longer an Agent at Decatur. Is there an
agency in this State? If so, where? He informs
me that his papers were sent to Mobile, but
from some informality with regard to the transfer
the pension was not paid. Will you be
so kind as to inform him, for I am 
unable to do so, not having the Pension Laws
by me, what is necessary to be done
that he may once more obtain his pension
as usual? Will you forward the information
and the requisite forms of transfer?
It there is no pension Agency in this
State the nearest point will be Jackson
Tennessee, where I understand there is
one. Let me hear from you as soon
as convenient
Yours Respectfully
Robert Josselyn
