Declaration
In order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7, 1832

State of Alabama 
County of Marengo

On this Eighth day of April in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and thirty four, personally appeared in open Court, before the County Court of Marengo County now sitting, Ingram Vaughan, a resident of said county in the state of Alabama aged seventy five 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 ?? by the act of congress passed June 7th 1832.

That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers and served as herein stated.

That he first joined the service in Sept 1776 at which time he was residing in the County of Mecklenburgh in the State of Virginia;  he entered as a substitute in the place of Moses Overton and was commanded by Capt William  Lucas of Mecklenburgh County.  That he was called, for the term of three months, on a tour to Norfolk, but the company was discharged before reaching its place of destination, and he returned after a period of service of only ten days or thereabouts.

That his next term of service commenced about the 1st of August, 1777 when he served as a substitute for Clavarius Coleman in the company under the command of Capt James Anderson and was this time in actual service three months, all of which time he served in the capacity of Corporal.  He was attached to the Brigade commanded by Genl Nelson and to the Regiment under the command of Colonel Frederick Macklin.  That he marched  in said company from Mecklenburgh to Portsmouth (Vir.) and was discharged with the company at that place.  The members of the company continued together and march back to Suffolk, where they were dismissed and separated for their respective houses.  That he was acquainted with Colonel Hamson who commanded the artillery of the Army at Portsmouth.
Page 4

That he afterwards entered the service as a volunteer about the 1st of June 1780, was appointed an Orderly Sergeant, and was first commanded by Captain Benjamin Ferrell and under him marched to Hillsboro, N. Carolina when Capt Ferrell was discharged as a supernumerary officer, and he was transferred to the company commended by Capt Binnes Jones, attached to Colonel James Lucas' regiment.  That he then marched to near Camden, South Carolina and was engaged in the unfortunate battle at that place, in August, in which General Gates was defeated.  The army then retreated to Hillsboro, marched thence to New Garden, thence to Hogan's Creek and thence to Guilford Court House, where they were discharged.  This term of service was six months, during the whole of which he served in the capacity of orderly sergeant.

That he again entered the service about the 15th of February, 1781 under the command of Capt William Lucas of the regiment commanded by Col Robert Munford and of General Lawson's brigade and, under General Greene, marched to Guilford C. H. in No.  Carolina, the second time.  That he was elected an Ensign and was commissioned as such by Brigadier General Lawson, and held the commission to the close of the war.  That he served this tour about one and a half months, which he served as ensign and was discharged about the 5th of April.  That the army arrived at Guilford Co. H. about the middle of March, and that on the morning after its arrival, the battle at that place was fought, between Genl Greene and Lord Cornwallis, which resulted in the defeat of the American Army, but with infinite loss to the enemy.  That he continued with the army in its march to Ramsay's Mills on Deep River, where after a halt of a few days he received his discharge.

That he never received a written discharge and is unable to say what became of his commission, as it is either lost or mislaid and knows of no living witness who can testify from personal knowledge, to the facts set forth in this declaration, or to the facts of his actual service.

He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or an annuity except the present and declares that
Page 5

that his name is not on the Pension Roll of any Agency in any state.

Sworn to and subscribed in Open Court the day and year aforesaid.

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 onboard 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.

That he enlisted int he Army of the United States in the year  (d)     , with      and serviced 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 application 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      .
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 belong 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 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 application was a Revolutionary Soldier, and served as he states.  And the Court further certifies, that it appears to them that A.B. 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 the 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 tendence 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
Page 13

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 service, and if so, by whom was 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, 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
inquiry 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 Unter 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 detiaite 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 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 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 opinions 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 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 case.
[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.

Sir
I beg leave herewith to return for your inspection personally the declaration of Ingram Vaughan, a worthy patriot of the Revolution with whom I have been acquainted for 10 or 12 years.  I beg leave also to say that I am acquainted with the Revd Jas Hillhouse and F. Thompson whose certificate and affidavit is annexed to the application of Mr. Vaughan (and whose credibility not have been certified to, the papers have been returned to me) I can with great cheerfulness state that these gentlemen are of the first respectability and their statements entitled to the fullest credit as is the statement of this worthy old patriot.  I therefore hope you will find no difficulty at least in placing him on the pension roll at the rate of 20 dollars

if no higher rate.
