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

If such surviving witness cannot be found, the applicant will so state in his declaration, (l) and he will

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?
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

Did you ever receive a commission, and if so, by whom was it signed, and what
To an Office, has become of it?
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
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

Dear Sir:
If you are permitted
to do so from the data I give
please give me something
concerning the service rendered
by Rowland Stone [name underlined] during
war of Revolution.
Rowland Stone
emigrated from Ireland with
his parents prior to this
war of Revolution. He was
born in Ireland.
Page 16

I know nothing relative
to his service. My grandmother
told me when I was a
child of his service and that
he drew a pension. I was too
young at the time to obtain
date, rather to realize the
importance of it.

Rowland's father and
an older brother entered service.
Brother killed by [illegible: Forces?]. 
Rowland was then enlisted.

This Rowland Stone married Elisabeth Miller
of South Carolina years
after the war, she much younger
Page 17

than her.

This Stone family
including Rowland and
Elizabeth moved to Tennessee
some time prior 1812. They
remained here a few years
after 1812. His father died
there prior 1812.

These Stones lived 
on a farm near the County line of Williamson and
Davidson Counties, on the 
public road between Franklin
and Nashville.

Rowland and Elizabeth
moved from this farm
Page 18

to Calloway County Kentucky near
Murry the county seat. They were
near a P. O. Cold Water and also
we have their address Clark's
River. They were here in 1830.

Rowland died December 
1845 Calloway Co. His son James 
appointed administrator of estate. 

Elizabeth, his wife, remained
on this farm until 1848 when 
she moved to make her home 
with her son George. She died
about June 1854.

his service rendered in fact
