JAMES TURLEY
S. 11565
BA-J/MLb
The data which follow in regard to James Turley were obtained
from the papers in pension claim, S. 11585, based upon his service
in the Revolutionary War.
James Turley was born in the State of Pennsylvania and while
a child moved with his father to near Lynchburg, Bedford County,
Virginia. The date and exact location of his birth and names of
parents were not given.
While residing near Lynchburg in that part of Bedford which
was later Campbell County, Virginia, James Turley enlisted under
Captain Alexander Cummins, marched to Albemarle Barracks where he
was attached to Captain John Chapman's Virginia company, and marched
from there with British prisoners to Fredericktown, Maryland, after
which he returned to Virginia and thence by water to the Falls of
the Ohio River, was in Colonel Joseph Crockett's Virginia regiment
in General Clark's Expedition to the Falls of the Ohio and served
two years, no dates of service stated.
On account of his service in the Revolutionary War, James Turley
was granted by the State of Virginia Warrant No. 4235, for one hundred
acres of bounty land, which was issued December 11, 1786, to John
Calloway, assignee, the warrant being recorded in the Virginia Land
Office.
The soldier was allowed pension by the United States on his
application executed September 24, 1832, at which time he was aged
seventy-eight years and a resident of Cabell County, Virginia.

Kanawha County, Virginia, but did not give his name. No other

Sir,I have duly received your letter of the 30 . ulto making enquiry respectingg James Turley and I find on examining my files that on 30 april 
 1833 and on the 20.   nov of the same year you wrote to me   on the same subject to each of which communications I  certainly replied. .  The name of James Turley is not to be  found on the army rolls in this office, and the only name which resembles it, is James Truly. A close inspection of the paper upon which Truly's name is writ[illegible] [illegible] that there had been a previous erasure; but it is impossible to say whether Truly was [illegible] for Truley. I should rather presume that as Truly was written after an erasure, it is spelt crrectly. Neither Truly nor Truley have drawn land bounty. [hand drawn figure of hand and pointing finger??] [ bold right quare bracket] [illegible]me and of this letter [bold left square bracket]
I have also received your letter 
of
Page 15

of the 2.d mit, enclosing the papers of Hubbard Stevens.
There is no such name on the Rolls in this office, nor does
it appear that any such person ever drew Land bounty
The names of the officers under whom he states to have
served, are found in the Rolls. I return you
his papers.

I am very respectfully
your obed serv.t

Jas E. Heath

J.L Edwards esq.

P.S. after writing the foregoing letter, I
determined to renew the enquiry at the Land office for
the name of Truly or Turley - and the result somewhat
changes the aspect of the case. It appears that James
Turley did draw land and that no such person as
Truly did - I should infer therefore that the name
of Truly on the roll was intended for Turley.

(see Register Certificate)
very resp.

BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims, of which there
answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of
James Turley
which require
further proof or explanation.
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? No
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
from any other seal? Yes
Page 21

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 obtaining it? No
XIII. If the applicant has no documentary evidence, and has not obtained the testimony of at least one

certified to the credibility of the witness or witnesses?
Has the proper officer certified to the official character and signature of the magistrate as the
regulations direct?
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. [double cross symbol]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? no
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______ 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 22

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 for 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 objection
able. 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 XIV. Mode of authenticating papers. In a 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.
