Sir,
The declaration of Jeremiah
Adams has been ex'd & filed with
suspended cases.
He alleges to have entered
the service in 1778 when very young and under the control of his father, that he
was pressed on or drafted and went from
Baltimore to Elkton. This service is supposed
to have been on board of a vessel, and from
the circumstances stated cannot be recognized as being of that character provided for by the
act of 7 June 1832. The other alleged tours are not stated with such precison as the enclosed regulations require. The applicant should give a satisfactory reason under oath for not making an earlier application for a pension and unless he can exhibit some direct proof of his alleged service
he cannot be allowed a pension

The amended statement of Jeremiah Adams has been ex'd & filed with his original declaration
being still unsatisfactory.  Unless such a statement as the regulations require, which were enclosed to you on the 3d [illegible]  be exhibited a
favorable decision cannot be expected. The militia did not perform actual service for so long a time as six months without  intermission as is alleged to have been performed by the applicant in his last [tour].

I have the honor to inform you that 
the following claims have been
examined agreeably to your request.

X   X   X   X   X
Jeremiah Adams asserted a claim under the
Act of 7 June, 1832, in 1836, which was
not allowed upon the ground that the
terms of service were not specified and sustained as the regulations require and one of the
terms (six mo.) conflicted with the known
length of the tour which the laws of Va,
prescribed for her militia.

The papers were withdrawn in Dec. '36.
