Declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress of the 7th of June 1832.

State of Kentucky
Green County

On this twentieth day of August 1832 personally appeared before the circuit court of the county of Green, James Cowherd, a resident of the county of Green in the state of Kentucky, aged seventy-four years in February next, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the provisions made by the act of Congress passed July 7th 1832.

That he enlisted in the army of the United States in the year 1777 on the 16th day of January for the term of three years with Capt. John Gillison and served in the 10th Virginia Regiment of the Continental Line under the following named officers: Col. Edward Stephens, Capt. Gillison at the time of (illegible) herein in Culpepper County Virginia.

from thence he was marched to Newcastle in the State of Delaware; from thence they marched to a place called Boundbrook or  Middlebrook in the State of New Jersey where they joined Washington's army, at which place I was made an orderly sergeant and sent back to Virginia for the purpose of getting recruits under Lieutenant Thos Barbee;

from thence he returned to the army at Valley Forge and served in the same company and regiment as sergeant.  This was in the winter of '78 from which place we pursued the enemy to Monmouth Meeting House, where the celebrated battle was fought;

from then we marched to the White Plains, from thence to Westpoint, from there the army took winter quarters on the Raritan River, from which place I was again dispatched to Virginia for the purpose of taking charge of some recruits and marched from there under Capt. Alexr. Parker in a regt. commanded by Col. Richard Parker (the number of the said regiment not recollected), from which place we marched to Augusta in the State of Georgia, from thence to Savanna
Page 5

and was there during the (illegible), thence we started in a vessel  to go to Charlestown and was cast way and landed upon Musketoe(?) Island, from thence in to Florida, where we were made prisoners and brought to St. Augustine and remained a prisoner from 29th Oct. 1779 and was released in Charlestown about the 25th February thereafter.  Having enlisted for three years and served upwards of said term and was discharged by Col. Rich Parker as a sergeant. which discharge I think was sent to the State of Virginia on my application for the land allowed by the government to the soldiers.  

This applicant does not know that his services can be proven by any person in this section of country, but that a certain Joshua Barbee, who resides in this state served in said regt., and he will endeavor if it is (illegible) hereafter to procure his testimony to his said services.  

He hereby relinquishes every claim 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.
Sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid.
Signed:  Jas. Cowherd

II.  Did the declaration show were the applicant resides:  Yes
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?  Yes

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 obtaining it?

XVI.  re the papers authenticated as the regulations direct?   No.

XVII.   Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And if not, which of them is not as 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 as 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 period mentioned below, and in the following grades: For _____ Year _____ months and _____days, I served as a ____.  For ____months and _____day, I served I as a ______; I served for such service I claim a pension."
Page 19

   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 four months is too 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 tome 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. 

Quere XVI.  Mode of authenticating papers.

    in every instant 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 thereby 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. 

   It is impossible to act upon a case, until the applicant shows precisely the time when he was appointed Sergeant - the word "until" is too indefinite.
