Dear Madam:

The data which follow were taken from papers on file in the pension claim, S. 18377, based on the military service of the only Peter DeWolf that is found in the Revolutionary War records of this office. There is no record of a Peter Wolf who was a resident of Ohio. 

Peter De Wolf was born December 26, 1754, in East Hartford, Hartford County, Connecticut. The names of his parents are not shown.

While a resident of Granby, Connecticut, he enlisted and served as private with the Connecticut troops as follows: from July or August, 1776, two months under Captain Jonathan Buttolph and Colonel Pettibone; he afterward served six months under Lieutenant Robison (Robinson) and Colonel Butler. 

After the Revolution, Peter De Wolf lived in Becket and Tyringham,Massachusetts, and in Trumbull County, Ohio. 

He was allowed pension on his application executed August 21, 1832, at which time he was a resident of Fowler township, Trumbull County, Ohio.

The papers in this claim contain no data relative to the family of Peter De Wolf.

In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension of Peter De Wolf, the name and address of the person to whom it was paid and possibly the date of the soldier's death, it is suggested that you address
Page 13

the Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, Washington, D.C., giving the following data:

Peter De Wolf, Certificate 13414, issued July 20, 1833, rate $26.66 per annum commenced March 4, 1831, Act of June 7, 1832, Ohio (Pittsburgh) Agency.

Brief objections to the admission of Pension Claims, of which those answered in the negative in red ink, will apply to the claim of Peter DeWolf which require further proof or explanation.

I. Does the declaration show where the applicant resides? yes

II. Did the declarant make the declaration in the county where he 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?

V. *Has he mentioned 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? No

VI. Has he given the names of the officers under whom he served, in conformity with the regulations? Yes

VII. Has he made a relinquishment of every claim to any other pension than the one under the Act of Jun 7, 1832? Yes

VIII. Has the Court given their opinion?  Yes

IX. Has the Clerk given his certificate? Yes

X. Is the Clerk's seal affixed? And if so, has it a device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal.  Yes
Page 16

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?  Yes

XII. If the clergyman's affidavit has not been produced, is there any reason assigned for not obtaining it?

XIII. If the applicant has no documentary evidence, and has not obtained the testimony of at least one living witness, has he stated in his declaration that such proof cannot be had?

XIV. If the applicant's name is not found on the rolls of military service, has he produced a witness or witnesses as to his service? 
If he has produced direct proof as to service has the magistrate who administered the oath, certified to the credibility of the witness or witnesses?
Has the proper officer certified to the official character and signature of the magistrate as the regulations direct?

XV.  does it appear from any of the papers that the witness was in such a situation, or of such an age, as to have a personal knowledge of the applicant's service? 

XVI. Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct?  No, Witnesses not certified to be credible

XVII.  Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And if not, which of them is not so answered?  Yes

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 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 o 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.
Page 17

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 is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable.  It must in every case be clearly shewn 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.

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 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.

QUERE XVI. 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 paper 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.

 -> In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, 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.

Gentlemen:

Will you please send me a copy of the Revolutionary War record of Peter DeWolf? The record that I have states that he was a Revolutionary soldier and that he was buried in Warren, Ohio. 

Will appreciate very much a copy of whatever record you have of his family, if any is contained in his war record.

Also- Service of Phillip Warren of 1812. My record merely states that he was given a tract of land in Michigan, Shiawassee County, by the United States Government, for his services. He was then living in Massachusetts- was married April 10, 1807, in Dorchester, Mass., to Gratis Talbot. (Dorchester, Mass. Register.). It is also stated that he took up this claim Dec. 24, 1836. He died after 1856 (?)

His two sons came to Mobile, David Talbot Warren, (my grand father) in 1853 and Charles, later. Daughter Salome went to Michigan with him, married M.R. Fletcher.

Will appreciate an early reply, if it is possible in these troublous times.

Very Truly,

Having only placed for record with the S.A.R. here two ancestors each named Peter DeWolf, the elder Peter born in 1730, while the younger was born 1753, a question of which is which is up with the Society and they have asked me to get a copy of the pension of the younger Peter-

Peter DeWolf born at Granby, Ct. 1753, married Elizabeth Clemens. Peter DeWolf moved to Fowler, O. and while residing there was pensioned for Revolutionary service as Pt. Conn. Mil. 

Will you not be so kind to let me know his exact service upon which he was pensioned, as the Society thinks he was the only one who served and that all the service was by the one Peter? Any other data would be well too.
