Sir,
The papers in the case of William Logan
have been examined and filed under the act
of June 7th, 1832.
It would appear from the names of the Officer
under whom Logan alleged that he served that
a part of his alleged service was performed
in North Carolina, and a part in South Carolina
No evidence whatever to sustain any portion
of the service as set forth in his declaration
has been adduced. The Military record
in the states in which the service was rendered
 should furnish proof thereof
The date of Logans death should be
clearly established, and the certificate
of a Court of record shewing the period
it took place and shewing the names
of all his children now living should
be produced.

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 to 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 37

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 the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as
the regiment, company, and line to which be 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 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 thereto by 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.
The declarant says that he can prove his
service by Capt Mc Carter and Cap Martin in
part. His declaration has no evidence to
prove his services - and is defective
