Brief objections to the admission of Pension Claims, of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of Asa Fuller Oneida 6th N. York which require further proof or explanation.

Does the declaration show where the applicant resides? Yes

II. Did the declarant make the declaration in the County in which 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 where he served? Yes

V. Has he mentioned with precision the length of your service, and the different grades in which he served, your 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 in 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 Clerks seal affixed? And if so has it a device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal? Yes
Page 30

(this page along with pages 28, 29, and 31 
appear to have no connection to the 
claim of Isaac Chatfield)

XI. Has the applicant obtained the evidence of a clergyman or other respectable citizen as to their belief respecting his age and the general belief in his neighborhood relative to his Revolutionary service? Yes

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

XIII.  If the applicant has no documentary evidence, and it's not obtained the testimony of at least one living witness, has he Stated in his declaration that such proof cannot be had? Yes

XIV.  If the applicant has produced a witness or witnesses as to his service, has the magistrate who administered the oath certified that he, she, or they are persons of credibility? Has the official character in signature of the magistrate been certified by the proper officer under his seal of office?

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 applicants 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's served, he should amend his declaration by making an avid affidavit in the following words: 

“ Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a justice of the peace, and etc. a. B. Who being duly sworn deposes and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequence 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 then 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 31

(this page along with pages 28, 29, and 30 
appear to have no connection to the claim 
of Isaac Chatfield)


It is important in all cases determine with precision. For which the applicant served, and the particular rank held, as the Lord directs the pension to be paid according to the greed of the pensioner and the length of your service. The use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions or 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 the raffle day what's the time of the claimants and ring the service, at the time and matter of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and wine to Richie belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oath 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 there to buy 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.
