NOTES.

The declaration to be executed before a Justice of the Peace, or other officer authorized to administer oaths for general purposes.

In the blank in the declaration the claimant must set forth according to the best of her knowledge or belief, the name and rank of the person on account of whose service the claim is presented; the day, month, and year, (if possible,) when he entered the service, and the time when he left the same; and if under more than one engagement, the claimant must specify the particular periods; and the rank and name of the officers under whom the service was performed; the town or county, and State in which he resided when he entered the service; whether he was draughted, was a volunteer, or substitute; the battles, if any, in which he was engaged; the country through which he marched, with such further particulars as may be useful in the investigation of the claim; and also, produce the best proof the nature of the case will allow, as to the service of the deceased officer or soldier, and the time when he died. It must be clearly shown in what troop or company, and regiment or corps, he served, and the grade he held. Proof as to service must be had, either from the records of the War Department, the muster rolls, the testimony of commissioned officers, or the affidavits of persons of known respectability.

If the fact be so that the claimant has no documentary evidence in support of the claim, set forth such facts in the declaration.

But if the soldier was a pensioner then simply describe him by giving the amount of pension he drew, the place of his residence, and the agency at which his pension was paid, instead of a description of his service.

This declaration must be accompanied by satisfactory proof of the marriage, of the husband's death, and the present widowhood of the claimant. If there be a public record of the marriage, a duly certified copy of it should be forwarded, if possible. If there be none but a private or family record such family record, or a certified copy of the same, should be forwarded, with the affidavit of some disinterested person proving the genuineness of the origin and the correctness of the copy. If no public or private record of the marriage exist, or can be procured, that fact should be set forth in the declaration, after giving her maiden name; and in such case, other evidence - such as the testimony of persons who knew the parties in the lifetime of the husband, and knew them to cohabit as husband and wife, and to be so reputed - will be admissible.

In no case, however, will the mere statement of witnesses that the claimant is the widow of the deceased be taken as evidence of the marriage; but the witnesses must state facts and circumstances from which they derive their knowledge or opinion that she is the widow of the deceased.

If the claimant draws a pension under any act, instead of proving her marriage again, simply set forth the fact in her declaration, and refer to said papers for proof of her husband's service and her marriage.

The affidavit of two witnesses must be taken to establish the identity of the claimant.

Sir,

By request of my mother-in-law, Anna Stout, widow of Daniel Stout, dec(eased), Revolutionary Pensioner, I write you to acknowledge receipt of yours; mail marked Nov. 12, requesting her to execute your enclosed Power of Attorney &c. I think you must be mistaken in the matter as Daniel Stout did draw a pension of $80 per year until the day of his death.

However, if their is any pension yet due, in part or all to widow, you can write me and I will have the papers executed; that you can proceed with the matter.

Very truly,

Dear Sir,

I have received your statement of the services during the War the Revolution of Private Daniel W. Stout (W.203), but we are unable to locate this soldier from your report.

You state that at the time of his enlistment, he resided in Dover, Delaware, but you do not state in what troops he enlisted. The presumption is however that he went into the New Jersey Militia as there were two colonels of N.J. Militia by name of Forman. One was Colonel David Forman, afterward Brigadier General of Militia...
Page 53

...and then colonel of Forman's Regiment in the Continental Army. The other Colonel Samuel Forman 1st N.J. detached Militia & then of the Second N.J. Monmouth Regiment.

Please state in which of either regiment Daniel Stout was a Soldier.

We shall also be greatly obliged if you will send us the second of Captain John Stout, the father of Daniel, who commanded the company in which Daniel was  a Private.

Very sincerely yours.

Barnegat, Jan. 23rd 1851

Sir,

Nearly three years since, one Ann Strout (the widow of Daniel Stout, a Revolutionary Soldier) made application for a pension and it was then decided that she was not entitled. It is my impression that she has since become entitled to a pension, either under the Act passed February 2nd 1848 or under the Act passed August 7th 1848. The said Daniel Stout drew a pension for some years previous to his death and died in 1843. His marriage, with the above mentioned
Ann Stout, was effected in the year 1792. A record of which has been lodged in your office. The widow is in necessitous circumstances, and if anything is due her, it will be thankfully received. She has made me her attorney. Please inform me whether she is entitled or not.

Very respectfully,
