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 [emphasis added by
KDJ] , &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
County 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 provion made by the act of Congress,
passed June 7th, 1832. 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:
[Here set forth the names and rank of the Field and Company Officers; the time he left the
service; (and if lie 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 dad rear 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 day 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 [seal
embossed onto document] 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 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
Page 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 [t]he 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 go by reason of
bodily infirmity ; in which ease 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 most 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. ln 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, it 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 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 this case 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.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
BUREAU OF PENSIONS,
WASHINGTON, D. C.,
Sept. 2nd, 1897.

Madam:
Replying to your request for information concerning Jacob
Snyder, a soldier of the Revolutionary war, you are advised that he
made an application for pension on March 11, 1833, at which time he
was 78 years of age and residing at Philadelphia, Penna, and his
