in the year of our Lord Eighteen hundred
and thirty two, personally appeared in open
court before the court of Common Pleas

said Levi Martin a resident of said County
aged sixty seven years last November, who
being first duly sworn according to law, doth,
on his oath make the following declaration
in order to obtain the benefit of the act of
Congress passed June 7th 1832.

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

That in the spring of the year 1780 in Bedf. Co. Pa. where he then resided he was enrolled
in the Militia under the command of Col. Piper
& Lieut. Col James Martin, and at that time he
was drafted & entered the service aforesaid as a spie under the command
of one Capt. Paxton and continued in said
service from the time he entered the same until
near the close of the war, being about two years
and five or six months, as follows, about one
year under the command of said Paxton,
about six months under the command of one
Capt. McIntyre, and the remainder of his
term of service under the command of Capt
Enslow or Ensley, by which last named officer
he was discharged about the close of the War
as aforesaid at the crossing the Juniatta
in Bedford County aforesaid for the whole term of his service that he does not
recollect that he received any discharge
from either of the other captains under whom
Page 5


he served as aforesaid, but thinks that he did
not. That about two years after the close
of the war he placed his said discharge
in the hands of James Martin for the
purpose of drawing his pay, provision
having been made by Congress, as he was
informed, for the payment of the troops
in said service - he afterwards understood
that the said Martin had received his pay,
but he has never received a cent of it, nor
does he know what has become of his
discharge, but he supposes that it was left
at the proper department when his pay was
drawn as aforesaid. That he was engaged
during the term of his service aforesaid in
guarding the frontier upon which he resided
against the incursions of the Indians in
??  neighborhood of his place of residence.
That he was in no battles, but had frequent skirmishes
 with the Indians - nor did he serve in company 
with any of the continental troops.  That
he has no documentary evidence to prove his
said services.  Nor does he know of any person by whom he can prove the same.
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity
except the present, and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state
and this applican further states-

1  That he was born in Novr 1764 in Chester
County Pa about 25 miles from Philadelphia, on
the Lancaster road
2  That he has a record of his age in his possession
3  That about two years after the peace he removed
from Bedford Co. aforesaid to the Monongahela
near the head of Big Whitely.  That he remained
there about 3 years and removed to Ohio
about the month of Oct. 1788.  That he returned
in March following & in August 1790 volunteered
under the command of Col. Crawford
Page 6


for Harmars Campaign - joined the army
at Cincinnati, and went with it from thence
to St. Wayne, that he returned to Pennsylvania
in Nove. In the fall of 1791 he emigrated
to Ohio over the Ohio river, about 2 miles
above the month of the Little Miami, & that
he remained there until Wayne's treaty with the
Indians. In the spring of 1800 he removed

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, mucicians 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.

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 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 of 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 price 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 & 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 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 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 11

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 Millitia regiments as you can recollect, and the general circumstances of your services. 
6. To a soldier. Did you 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, 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 are 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 is determine to what amount of pension he is entitled. In a case where the applicant that, 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 were 
" Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Pease, A. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear expressively 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, 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 she 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 seat 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 parties are respecting the service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must, in every case, be clearly shown under what officers the applicant serves; the duration of each term of engagement & the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embedded corps called late service he component authority; that he was after in the fall or garrison; and for the time 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 afix his seal, and if it was 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 carrying outer, 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 their affidavits the time of the claimant's entering the service, and the time and manner of leaving the same, as well as the regiments, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses names, 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 is 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.

Dear Sir:

Reference is made to your letter relative to soldiers
of the Revolutionary War.

Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are
obtained from claims made to the United States for pension
and bounty land based upon military service of soldiers in
that war.

A careful search of the records fails to show such a
claim on file on account of the services of any Joseph
Martin or William Harris as described by you, all spellings
of the names searched.

The data contained herein are obtained from the papers
on file in the Revolutionary War claim for pension, S.2731,
based upon the military service of Levi Martin in that war.

Levi Martin was born in November 1764 in Chester.
County, Pennsylvania, about twenty-five miles from Philadelphia, 
on the Lancaster Road. The names of his parents
are not shown.

While a resident of Bedford County, Pennsylvania, Levi
Martin enlisted in the spring of 1780 and served one year
as spy in Captain Paxton's Company, Colonel Piper's Pennsylvania Regiment. He then served six months as private
in Captain McIntyre's Pennsylvania Company. He then served
one year as private in Captain Enslowsor Ensley's Pennsylvania
Company and was in some skirmishes with the Indians.

He was allowed pension on his application executed
September 25, 1832 while a resident of Miami County, Ohio,
where he had lived since the spring of 1800.
