All applicants will appear before the Court of Record in the County, in which they reside, and 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?
3.	Where were 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.
6.	{To a Soldier.{Did you receive a discharge from the service, and if so, by whom was it gived and what has become of it?
{To an Officer. {Did you ever receive a commission, and if so, by whom was it signed, and what has become of it?
7.	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 he 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 Judge or Justice of a Court of Record, or a Justice of the Peace, and that the signature annexed is his genuine signature.
No payment can be made on account of the services of any person, who may have died before the taking effect of the act of June 7, 1832; and in case of death subsequent thereto, and before the declaration the herein required is made, the parties interested will transmit such evidence as they can procure, taken and authenticated before a Court of Record, showing the services of the deceased, the period of his death, the opinion of the neighborhood respecting such services, the title of the claimant, and the opinion of the Court upon the whole matter.

(a)	The declarant must appear in open Court, unless prevented from doing so by reason of bodily infirmity ; in which case the declarant will follow the rule laid down for his guidance.
(b)	The declarant must make his declaration in the county where he resides.  If he should fail to do so, he must assign a sufficient reason for not conforming to the rule.
(c)	The age of the claimant must invariably be mentioned.
(d)	The declarant must mention the period of periods of the war when he served.
(e)	Every continental officer or soldier must give the name of the Colonel under whom he served; otherwise a satisfactory examination of the claim cannot be had.  Every claimant must state, 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 to.  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 –years --- months, and ---days, I served as a ___, for ___months and ___days, I served as a ___; and for such services I claim a pension.
It is important in all cases, to determine with precision the period for each applicant served, and the particular rank be 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 to o indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable.  Some perions who apply for pensions merely state that they served two years in the militia &c. without specifying the tours, the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their services.  This form of declaration is highly objectionable.  It must, in every case be clearly shown 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.
(f)	The law makes the relinquishment indispensable.  
(g)	The opinion of the Court is always required.
(h)	The Clerk must give his certificate in every case.
(i)	The Clerk must affix his seal, and if it has no device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal, or if he has not public seal of office, the certificate of a Member of Congress, providing the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.
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 papers 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.
Proof of Service.
(j)	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 claimant’s 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.
[] the notes from (a) to (i) are all equally applicable to the cases of Militia men, Volunteers and State Troops.  The proof required by rule in note (j) applies to continental troops only.
(k)	This traditionary evidence is indispensable in militia cases
(l)	If a witness cannot be found, the declarant must state the fact.
(m)	The answers to the interrogatories must all be written, and sent to the War Department, with the declaration.

Mr. Roger F. Williams
#2 Rock Street
Alexandria Bay, New York

Dear Sir:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Leonard Ackler, who received pension under the Act of June 7, 1832.

The data which follow were obtained from the papers on file in Revolutionary War pension claim, W.25335, based upon the military service in that war of Leonard Ackler.

Leonard Ackler was born May 22, 1760, at Canajoharie, Tryon County, New York
The names of his parents are not shown.

While residing with his parents at Fort Plain, town of Canajoharie, Tryon, New York,
Leonard Ackler enlisted in 1776, served as a private in the company commanded by his broker, Captain Henry Ackler, Colonel Abraham Copeman's New York Regiment, was in the battle of Oriskany, where General Herkimer received a mortal wound and served at various times each until the summer of 1779, he enlisted in Captain John Bighead's(probably meant for Captain John Bradbig) Col. Harper's New York Regt. Company, marched to Fort Herkimer, where he remained on duty for nine months, the time of his enlistment: he enlisted again in 1780, still residing at Fort Plain, for nine months, served as a private in Captain Gerrit Putnam's Company, Colonel Harper's New York Regiment, marched to Fort Windecker on the Mohawk River,  thence to Fort Stanwix, and after remaining there for sometime went with a detachment of sixty men under Lieutenant Lansing to Oneida Lake to demolish some boats of the enemy, but before reaching that place, soldier and all his companions were taken prisoners, and carried to Canada.  Soldier stated that under an agreement with his captors that he would labor for them on public works, he was not kept in close confinement, but worked as a laborer, always hoping for a chance to escape but was never ble [able] to do so and remained a prisoner of war in Canada more than until the close of the war.

{other notes in the margin "which was[] minders, scout, co. [] Sol in my SS Ret under name of Eckler page 69 Could not find a Capt John Bighead Capt Putnam served [] Col Harper}
Page 25

Leonard Ackler was allowed pension on his application executed October 27, 1832, while residing in Columbia, Herkimer County, New York, where he died January 10, 1838.

The soldier married March 11, 1787, Catharine Youngs, born July 4, 1783, place of her birth and names of her parents not shown.  They were married at the church in Canjoharia, by the Revered Ludwick Priffle.

Soldier's widow, Catharine, was allowed pension on her application executed February 5, 1839.

No reference was made to children.

In 1832, Peter [Ackler] Eckler {signed Eckler} as he signed, a brother of the soldier, Leonard Acker, was aged seventy-eight years and lived in Columbia, New York.  In 1839, one Henry Ackler was aged seventy-three years and resided at Stark, Herkimer County, New York.  He stated that he was present at the wedding of the soldier but did not give his relationship.

In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, the name and address of person paid and possibly the date of death of the Revolutionary War pensions, Catharine Ackler, widow of Leonard Acker(W.25338), you should address The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following data:
