Declaration in order to obtain the benefit of 
the act of Congress of the 7th June 1832 
State of Ohio Richland County ⎬ 
On this thirty first day of October A.D. 1832 personally 
appeared before the Court of Common Pleas 
of said County of Richland Peter Snyder a resident of said County of Richland aged seventy 
three years who being first duly sworn according 
to law doth on his oath make the following 
declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the 
provision made by the act of Congress passed 
June 7th 1832 That he enlisted in the army of 
the United States, in the year 1775 or 1776 in the 
fall of the year under Captain Andrew Haynes 
or Hines in description of Troops called the flying 
Courp. The number of the Regiment I cannot now 
recollect. I served under the following officers 
My Captains name was Hayes or Hines as above stated his first Lieutenants name was 
Isaac McCracken & Ezekiel Cove his second Lieutenant 
Our adjutant was Richard Donovan Our Company 
marched from Hancock in Washington 
County Maryland to Hagerstown the place of Rendezvous. Thence we marched in Colonel Sheyhawk or Shyhawk to Philadelphia Our major's 
name I dont remember. Thence we went by water 
to Trentown. Then I think we want to Brunswick 
thence to Amboy Thence to Elizabeth Town. The
Page 6

to New Ark. Thence to Hackensack thence on
to Fort Lee where we arrived on saturday evening 
before the battle of Long Iland [Island] which commenced 
next morning before day. I was in that battle. 
After the battle of long Island we marched 
back under Generals Washington Lee and Putnam 
through Hackensack Brunswick to Trenton 
crossed the river there & towards Philadelphia 
Hessians being after us when we were about fifteen 
miles from Trentown we halted and the 
army was divided into three divisions General 
Washington Commanded One General Lee and 
General Putman the other. We crossed the river 
fifteen miles below Trentown & marched up the 
Jersey shore to the Town and attacked Hessions & 
took nine hundred of them prisoners as was estimated 
at the time. Our company marched with another 
Company or two marched from thence to Philadelphia
where we were discharged. I had enlisted 
for three months but were detained in service 
about 
four months. This was all the regular service I performed.
Next spring I was drafted as I suppose as a
militia man at any rate I was ordered out against 
the Indians I went out under Captain Richey dont 
remember his first name and Lieutenant Moses Graham 
The Caption was with us but twice. The Lieutenant 
Commanded us. I lived there as well when I enlisted 
in Washington County in the State of Maryland. I joined 
Captain Richey's Company at [Owen Reeds Mill?] in Pennsylvania 
& went from there to Bedford [where we drew ?] guns & ammunition we then started for one Timothy 
Ryans near the foot of the mountains on 
Braddocks old road. From there we
returned again 
to Bedford and give up our arms & returned home 
we were out about six weeks this time.
Page 7

The next spring following I think it was the received 
information that a number of Torys and Refugees had 
cllected [collected] together in the mountains near Bedford and 
Captain Haynes or Hines under whom I first enlisted 
having returned home from the army on furlough 
raised a Company of volunteers of whom I was 
one went to take the Tories and Refugees and 
we took some of them and put them in the Hagerstown jail. We were out something more than two weeks at this time. After harvest of the same 
year I went out under Captain James Warford and 
Lieutenant Stilwell against the Indians 
to a place 
called the Standing Stone from there we went out 
scouting or spying up yellow creek and through 
Morrison Cove and up to the heads of yellow 
Creek to the foot of the mountain. From that 
we returned and scouted through the woods 
backwards & forward to see if we could see any
signs of Indians. We then returned home after 
being in service about a month. I have served 
altogether in the revolutionary war above seven months.

answers to the following interrogatories propounded 
to him by the Court.

Page 8

but it got burnt with house & I dont know of it being recorded anywhere else.
3rd Where were you living when called into service Were you drafted did you volunteer
or were you a substitute? And if a substitute for whom? 
Answer. I was living in Washington County Maryland and 
I enlisted in Hancock of that County. I do not 
know certainly whether I was drafted or not & 
did not know at the time I was young and 
being notified to Turn out did so & went to the 
place of rendezvous. I mean I dont know except 
the time I enlisted. When I went against the Tories and Refugees & Once when I went against 
the indians I think I volunteered. The first time 
I went against the Indians I think I was drafted.
5th. 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 service.
Answer. When I served as a regular the whole army I served in I think were Regulars. I can 
remember the names of no other officer than those 
mentioned above except Colonel Rawlings 
When I served as a militia man and volunteer 
there were no regulars with us except Captain 
Haynes or Hines nor any troops but our company. The general circumstances of my service

Battle of Fort Washington and at the taking of 
the Hessians at Trentown.
Page 9

6th. Did you ever receive a discharge from 
the service and if so by whom was it 
given and what has become of it.

I think his first name is Robert Would testify 
to my veracity but I dont know that there 
is a general belief of my being a revolutionary

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 application 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.

DECLARATION.
In order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress of the 7th of June, 1832.
State, Territory, or District of } ss.

On this ___ day of ___ personally appeared (a) before A. B. a resident (b) of ___ in the county of ___ and State, Territory or District of ___ aged (c) ___ years, who being first duly sworn, according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the act of Congress, passed June 7th, 1832. That he enlisted in the Army of the United States in the year (d) ___, served in the ___ (e) regiment of the ___ line, under the following named officers:

Here set forth the names and rank of the Field and Company Officers; the time he left the service; (and if he served under more than one term of enlistment, he must specify the particular period, and rank and names of his officers;) the town or county and State in which he resided when he entered the service; the battles, if any, in which he was engaged, and the country through which he marched. 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 subscribed and sworn to the above declaration; that we believe him to be ___ who has ___ 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 will 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 one 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 twill 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
Page 15

8
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 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 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, 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, 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 [italics] about three or four months [/italics], 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 places 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 the seal of office.

[pointing hand] 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.

Peter Snyder of the State of 
Ohio was on the 9th May 1833, in conformity with 
the law of the 7th June 1832, placed on the Pension 
list Roll of the Ohio (Pittsburgh) Agency, and has 
regularly drawn his pension from that time to 4th 
September 1837. He has drawn none since that time, and now wishes and applies to draw his pension as usual.
By his neglect to draw for one Year, he is informed that by a regulation of the department, he cannot again draw his pension until after application to, and leave 
granted by the Secretary of War, or the pension department at Washington, and that the proof 
of identity to the paying Agent is insufficient.
Will you inform me on his behalf 
what steps are required to be taken to enable him 
to draw his pension?  and I have to request that the 
necessary forms be furnished for that purpose?

William Johnson of the State of Ohio 
was hbunder the law of 7th June 1832, placed 31st Jany 1834 on the pension 
List, Roll of Ohio/. Pittsburgh/ Agency, with a pension 
of one hundred and Twenty Dollars per annum, during his natural life. This pensioner died
on the 27th April last, leaving a widow to whom 
he was married during the war of the Revolution, and 
while he was in the service 
The object of the widow is to know 
whether under any of the pension laws of the United States, she
is entitled to a pension on account of her husband's services 
during the war of the Revolution. or if such an enquiry 
be objectionable. to know whether the widow of a deceased Revolutionary Pensioner married to the

death of his pension.

Sir
A Revolutionary pensioner named Peter Snyder formerly a resident of 
Richland County in this State has lately removed to this (Highland) County where he expects 
to remain. He formerly drew his pension at Pittsburgh but being no [now] so far from this pension 
office he desires to be transferred to the Roll at 
Cincinnati. Supposing that his name would be 
Enrolled at Cincinnati he forwarded his power of atty. 
but the Agent refused payment in 
consequence of his Snyder's name not being on the roll there.
I presume the applicant’s case does not come within that regulation of your department 
which requires affidavits to support it, but that the transfer may be made upon a simple 
application. His removal has not been from another State into Ohio , but from one County to 
another. If payment is still to be made to this pensioner at Pittsburgh, his certificate will be 
of no [?] service to him than if the money were payable in Boston. He therefore asks for a 
transfer of his name to the Cincinnati Roll.
I am very Respectfully
