REGULATIONS UNDER THE ACT OF JUNE 7, 1832.

The following regulations have been adopted:
This law has been construed to extend, as well to the line, as to every branch of the Staff of the Army and to include under the terms "Continental Line," "State troops," "militia," and "volunteers," all persons enlisted, drafted, or who volunteered and who were bound to military service, but not those who were occasionally employed with the army upon civil contracts, such as Clerke to Commissaries and to Store Keepers &c.,Teamsters, Boatmen, &c.  Persons who served on board of private armed vessels are also excluded from the benefits of the law, as well as persons who turned out as patrols, or were engaged in guarding particular places at night, and were not recognized as being in actual military service. 

Four general classes of cases are embraced in this law:  
1. The Regular Troops
2. The State Troops, Militia, and Volunteers. 
3.  Persons employed in the Naval Service.
4.  Indian Spies. 

As rolls of the regular troops in the Revolutionary War exist in this Department, all persons claiming the benefit of this law as officers, non-commissioned officers, mucicians or privates, will, in the first instance, make application by transmitting the following declaration, which will be made before a Court of Record of the County where such applicant resides.   And every Court having by law a seal and Clerk is considered a Court of Record. 

DECLARATION, 

In order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress of the 7th of June, 1832.

State, Territory, or District of   
County of

On this (blank) day of (blank) personally appeared (a) before A.B. a resident (b) of (blank) in the county of (blank) and State, Territory or District following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the act of Congress, passed June 7, 1832.  That he insisted in the Army of the United States in the year (d) (blank), with (blank) and served in the (blank) (e) regiment of the (blank) line, under the following named officers:

[Here set forth the names and rank of the Field and Company Officers; the time he left the service; (and if he served under more than one term of enlistment, he must specify the particular period, and rank and names of his officers;) the town or county and State in which he resided when he entered the service; the battles, if any, in which he was engaged, and the country through which he marched.  This form is to be varied so as to apply to the cases of officers and persons who belonged to the militia, volunteers, navy, &c.]

He hereby relinquishes every claim (f) whatever to a pension or an annuity, except the present, and he declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of any Agency in any State, or (if any) only on that of the Agency in the State of (blank)

Sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid.  

[And then will follow the certificate of the Court.]

And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion (g) that the above named applicant was a revolutionary soldier, and served as he states. 

(blank) of the Court of (blank) do hereby certify (h) that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the Court of the said Court in the matter of the application of (blank)
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office (i) this (blank) day of (blank) &c.

If, on examination of the prior record, the names of applicants, making such declaration, cannot be found, they will produce such proof as the rule given in note (j) points out.
Every applicant who claims a pension by virtue of service in the State Troops,  Volunteers, or Militia, except those who belonged to the New Hampshire Militia and State Troops of Virginia, will make and subscribe a declaration similar to the foregoing, with the following additions, viz:
(k) We, A. B. , a Clergyman, residing in the (blank) and C. D. residing in (the same) hereby certify, that we are well acquainted with (blank) , who has subscribed and sworn to the above declaration: that we believe him to be (blank) years of age; that he is reputed and believed, in the neighborhood where he resides, to have been a soldier of the Revolution, and that we concur in that opinion. 
Sworn and subscribed the days and year aforesaid. 

[And then will follow the certificate of the Court.]

And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion, after the investigation of the matter, and after putting the interrogatories prescribed by the War Department, that the above named applicant was a Revolutionary Soldier and served as he states.   And the Court further certifies, that it appears to them that A. B. and that C.D., who has also signed the same is a resident in the (blank) and is a credible person, and that their statement is entitled to credit.  

I, (blank) Clerk of the Court of (blank) do hereby certify that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said Court, in the matter of the application of (blank) for a pension.  

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto  set my hand and seal of office, this (blank) day of (blank) &c. 

Every applicant will produce the best proof in his power.  This is the original discharge or commission; but if neither of these can be obtained, the party will so state under oath, and will then procure, if possible, the testimony of at least one credible witness, stating in detail his personal knowledge of the services of the applicant, and such circumstances connected therewith, as may have a tendency to throw light upon the transaction. 
If such surviving witness cannot be found, the applicant will so state in his declaration, (l) and he will also, whether he produce such evidence or not, proceed to relate all the material facts, which can be useful in the investigation of his claim, and in the comparison of his narrative with the events of the period of history.

alleged service, as they are known at the Department.   A very full account of the services of each person will be indispensable to a favorable action upon his case.  The facts stated will afford one of the principal means of corroborating the declaration of the applicant, if true, or of detecting the imposition, if one be attempted; and unless, therefore, these are amply and clearly set forth, no favorable decision can be unexpected.  All applicants will appear before some 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 you 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 ever receive a discharge from the service, and if so, by whom was it given, 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 the 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 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 payments 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 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 or 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.  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. 
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 that 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 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 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.  

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 much 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.
  
D. Jackson

 The notes from [a] to [?] are all equally applicable to the cases of Militia men, Volunteers and State Troops.  The proof required by rule is 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.

Okemah, Oklahoma

Dear Madam:

     Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Benjamin Jackson, born "somewhere in New Jersey", and later moved to Bellville, Ohio, and died June 25, 1845. 

     The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in claim for pension, S. 4430, based on the military service of Benjamin Jackson in the Revolutionary War. 

     Benjamin Jackson was born March 5, 1752 in Morris County, New Jersey.  The names of his parents were not stated.  

     While residing in Morris County, New Jersey, Benjamin Jackson enlisted and served as a sergeant with the New Jersey troops, as follows:
In 1776, five months in Captain Josiah Hall's company, two months of which was in Colonel Jacob Ford's regiment; in 1777, two months in Captain Jonas Ward's company, Colonel Benoni Hathaway's regiment; again in 1777, one month in Captain Benjamin Minor's company, Colonel Spencer's regiment, and was in two severe skirmishes; in 1778, two months in Captain Josiah Hall's company, Colonel Drake's regiment; again in 1778, one month in Captain Job Allen's company.  He was, also, out on scouts and
Page 13

alarms at various times, amounting to about three months.  

     The soldier, Benjamin Jackson, was allowed pension on his application executed June 13, 1833, at which time he was living in Morris Township, Knox County, Ohio, having moved there in 1812, from Morris County, New Jersey.  

     It was not stated whether soldier was ever married. 

     Daniel Jackson in 1833 a resident of Knox County, Ohio, knew the soldier, Benjamin Jackson, during the Revolutionary War, and served a part of the time with him.  It was not shown that they were related to each other. 

     The papers on file in this claim contain no further discernible data relative to family. 

     In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, name and address of person paid, and possible the date of death of this pensioner, you should apply to The Controller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, Washington, D. C.  and furnish the following data:

SIR:

     I return herewith the papers in support of the claim of the person whose name is heto annexed.
     These papers are in several respects defective.  His case is accompanied by a brief.  The objections are contained in the negative answers, in red ink, given to the questions. 
     Particular attention should be paid to the accompanying regulations and to the explanatory notes subjoined to the brief. 
      The extraordinary press of business in this office, arising from the great number of claims under the act of June 7, 1832, has hitherto prevented us from attending to the applications sent by you.  The investigation of the cases presented under this law has been difficult and laborious, and notwithstanding the greatest exertions have been made by this Department, an earlier attention to your business has been found impracticable.  
     The brief has been prepared to meet all cases, and this to save the excessive labor which would otherwise be imposed upon the office, and which would consume so much time as to render the delay two fold greater than it now is in the investigation of claims and writing letters.  Each case is considered correct in all respects except in relation to those questions to which a negative answer is affixed.   No other alteration or addition will be required.  

I am, respectfully, 
Your obedient servant, 
J L Edwards

(?) 
I herewith return to the war department Benjamin Jackson's Declaration for pension. I hope it will be found sufficiently  corrected. 
I beg leave to present the case, of this worthy old Gentleman, as really urgent at this time.  It would not only be a great favor, to them, but truly gratifying to their numerous friends, if returns could be had, so as to enable them to draw their pensions, immediately after this 4th of September next.  I speak of Misters Jackson and Hardenbrook - I also beg leave to call your attention to the case of Nathan Terrill -  If it is at all possible I pray you to attend to his claim, in the manner proposed in my last; he is truly an object of great commiseration, and I fear that unless he obtains relief soon it will come too late.  He is extremely frail and failing fast. 

Yours very respectfully, Thos Liedden

Dear Sir:

Reference is made to your letter of June 24, with which you enclosed money order for ninety cents (90¢) to cover cost of photostatic copies of six pages of original papers on file in Revolutionary War pension claim of Benjamin Jackson, S. 4430. 

The quotation of fifteen cents (15¢)  a page made to Honorable Robert Crosser, House of Representatives, in your behalf, was on March 7, 1933.  A short time after that quotation was made, the cost per page of photostatic copies was increased to twenty-five cents (25¢) a page, making the cost of the six pages $1.50. 

If you decided to pay this difference, sixty cents (60¢), the copies will be mailed to you.  Remittance should be made as before, that is, by money order drawn to the order of the Treasurer of the United States.  If you decide to cancel your order, the former remittance, ninety cents (90¢),  will be refunded.

Dear Madam: 

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Benjamin Jackson of Morris County, New Jersey; Henry Levering of White Plains Township, New Jersey or Bedford County, Pennsylvania; Elias Stillwell of Virginia: Benjamin Stackhouse of Columbia County, Pennsylvania.  

Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims for pension and bounty land made to the United States, based upon military service of soldiers in that war.  

A search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the Revolutionary War services of Henry Levering, Elias Stillwell, and Benjamin Stackhouse; these surnames have been searched under similar spellings. 

It is suggested as a possible means of securing data relative to the military records of these soldiers, that you apply to The Adjutant General, War Department, Washington, D.C. 

The record of Benjamin Jackson which follows was obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, S. 4430, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.  

Benjamin Jackson was born March 5, 1752 in Morris

Daniel Jackson in 1833 a resident of Knox County, Ohio, stated that he knew Benjamin Jackson during the Revolutionary War, and that he served a part of the time with him.  It is not shown that they were related to each other. 

In order to obtain the date of list payment of pension, the name and address of the person to whom sent, and possibly the date of death of this pensioner, you should apply to The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, Washington D.C.,
