Miss Ellen Mathes
191 East Jefferson Street
Franklin, Indiana.

Dear Madam:

You are advised that it appears from the papers in the
Revolutionary War pension claim, W. 18545, that Lewis Mullikin, also
appears Mulliken and Mullican, was born in 1755 in Montgomery County
Maryland.
\
While a resident of Montgomery County, Maryland, he
enlisted in 1776 and served four months as private in Captain Benjamin
Spyker's Company, Colonel Murdock's Maryland Regiment of the Flying
Camp and was in the battle of White Plains. He enlisted the following
summer, served four months as private in Captain A. Riggs' Maryland
Company and was in the battle of Germantown.

He was allowed pension on his application executed November
15, 1832, while a resident of Davidson, formerly Rowan County, North Carolina, where he had moved from Maryland about the close of the war.

He died March 3 or 6, 1836.

Soldier married November 9, 1775, Susannah T. Jarvis. The
marriage bond was executed in Bute County, North Carolina.

His widow, Susannah T., was allowed pension on her application
executed June 29, 1842, at which time she was a resident of
Davidson County, North Carolina, aged eighty-two years.

She died January 1, 1844, survived by one child only,
Elizabeth Thompson, who was a resident of Davidson County, North
Carolina in 1851.

Very truly yours,
E. W. MORGAN,
Acting Commissioner.

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? Yes

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? Yes

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
June 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

Page 23

2

XI. Has the applicant obtained the evidence of a clergyman and another respectable citizen as to

service? No

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

Has the proper officer certified to the official character and signature of the magistrate as the

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? Yes

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 to the best of his recollection
he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades; For _____months
year _____ months, and _____days, I served as a______.  For______
months
and _____days, I served as as a ______; for such service I claim a pension.
Page 24

3
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. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours; the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly 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.
