Mrs. H. M. Carpenter
211 Tomlinson Avenue
Moundsville, West Virginia.

Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the
Revolutionary War records of James Holliday, a pensioner of Ohio
County, Virginia, in 1840, aged eighty-six years, James Holliday, a
private in the Pennsylvania Line, placed on the pension roll June 18,
1833, aged eighty years, and William Hays, a soldier of Adams or
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
Because of the great demand for Revolutionary War data and
the limited trained clerical force available for furnishing such
information, it is impossible to comply in full with each request
pertaining to soldiers of that war. The record of James Holliday is
furnished herein as found in his claim for pension, S. 7023, based
upon his service in that war. Your citaions pertain, probably, to one soldier.
James Holliday was born May 3, 1754, in Ireland, came to
America in 1773, and settled in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania; the
names of his parents are not shown.
While a resident of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, he
enlisted January 1, 1776, served as private in Captain Abraham Smith's
company, Colonel William Irvine's Pennsylvania regiment and was discharged April 15, 1777; during this service he went on the expedition
to Canada, was in the battle of Three Rivers, afterwards at Isle aux
Noix, and at Ticonderoga. He enlisted October 15, 1777, and served
two months and fifteen days as first sergeant in Captain James Maxwell's
Pennsylvania company, stationed near Philadelphia.
James Holliday was allowed pension on his application executed
Page 12


July 28, 1832, at which time he resided in Ohio County, Virginia.
He had moved to that county about the year 1804. His home was in
the neighborhood of West Alexander, Pennsylvania, where he received
his mail. James Holliday was living in this County, Virginia, in
claim.

There are no data whatever regarding the family of this soldier.

In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, name of
person paid, and possibly, the date of death of this pensioner.
you should apply to the Comptroller General, General Accounting
Office, Records Division, this city, and furnish the following:
James Holliday
Certificate #12931
Issued June 18, 1833

Sir
On the production of the proper vouchers
and a satisfactory explanation in the case of James
Holliday, I will direct the payment of his pension; 
but until it is shown from what paper he copied a certificate purporting to have been issued from the War Office
by the Secretary of War on the 22d of May 1833, granting
him a pension, nothing further can be done by this Department
If he never had more than one pension certificate, why did
the person who drew up his papers, copy two certificates of
different dates? This is a question which must be
satisfactorily answered.
The vouchers in the case of John Ryan
are herewith returned. The Agent has again been
requested to pay the amount due.
If payment should
still be refused, the reasons for not complying with the
instructions from this office should be stated by him
in writing and forwarded to this office.

BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims, of which those
further proof or explanation.
-
I. Does the declaration show where the applicant resides?
answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of
James Holliday
---
which require
H. 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?
in
that
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 24


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 obtain
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 has produced a witness or witnesses as to his service, has the magistrate who
administered the oath certified that he, she, or they are persons of credibility?
Has the official character and signature of the magistrate been certified by the proper officer under
his seal of office?
not on Rolls
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?
Not 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: Foryear
months and - days, I served as a . For months
and days, I served as aand
for such service I claim a pension."
Page 25

It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which the 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 most
indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable.
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 be 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 authenticated 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 end 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.
.
As there are no rolls of service of the
Pennsyle line as early as 1777 the claimant
should make a declaration according to the
blank form on the 2d page of the printed
regulations and contain the interogaton
presented by the war dept with the answers
thereto
the applicant must comply with the
regulations in this respect
