This Deponent Lewis Stubbs also Swears that he can neither read or write.  That his parents left no record of his age & that he speaks on that subject without having any certain evidence of it.  He recollects that he was a young man nearly grown when he first went to Granville No Ca.  He does not know any one now alive with whose age he can compare his own & therefore can speak with no certainty on that point.

On this the 1st day of October AD 1832 personally appeared in open court before the Judge of the Court of common Pleas now sitting, Lewis Stubbs a resident of the District of Marlborough & State aforesaid, aged [three words marked out, illegible], who being first duly sworn according to Law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7th 1832.  That he was born in the year [blank space] in Marlborough District & State aforesaid that he has no record of his age except, one kept by himself since he grew up which he has at home, That he was in Granville County No Ca when he entered the Service to which place he went, when quite young on a visit, Whilst there, he Substituted himself for a man whose name he has forgotten, which took place Sometime in the fall of the year 1780.  The Capt of his company, was named Jones Fuller of the militia.  He went on wit him to Hillsborough No Ca. from thence to Salisbury & from thence to Haw River. where one Genl Davis commanded.  The Americans were Stationed there to prevent the British under Col Tarlton from crossing the river.  At one of two fords on this River they were expected to cross & the American forces even So divided as to command went.  This deponent was among others at the upper ford but he does not recollect what officer had the command at that place.  Genl Davis, commanded at the Lower.  Deponent with nine others were detached from the main body & placed on an island to keep a look-out, but had been there but a Short time when they recd orders to quit the island & join the main body, as the British were crossing to Lower Ford.  The hastened to the camp which they had left but found it deserted; they however, took the trail pushed on & overtook them.  The officer in command expecting an immediate attack formed his men in order for battle every mile in Seven that he moved on through the rain it being a very rainy day.  They however came at last to a lane on the plantation of a widow Torrence, & whilst the men were taking a drink of grog the British light horse came upon them & killed
Page 7

or took prisoners all who remained in the road & did not take the fence to save themselves.  The Americans were completely scattered & he did not come to the camp on the Yadkin until the next evening about Sun-down - Greens & Morgan's army was crossing the River in great haste:  he Stepped into the flat for the purpose of crossing but was ordered out, by a Continentals officers but hid himself among the men who were crowding in & got over.  That night those who had not crossed were attacked by the British.  Deponent went on within twelve miles of Roanoke No Ca. where the militia were Sent home on furlough -- the army he left went on to Virginia, was reinforced & the militia being ordered out again, gathered together at Harrisburg Granville County No Ca.  They went to Hillsboro No Ca. & joined the army on Haw River not far from Salisbury within hearing of the British Drums.  Deponent got dischargd at this place -- came back to Marlborough District, So Ca. & Substituted himself for one William Stubbs & under the command of Capt Danl Sparks joined Marion's Cavalry in the Swamp of Santee River. -- here he was out two months pursuing the British & Tories.  At one time they were attacked by the British light horse.  Marions men being protected by houses sustained no injury from the charges whilst the British retreated on the first attack with the loss of three men killd & one of thire three whilst lying on his back in the agonies of death, lifted his Sword against an American who was about putting an end to his life.  Deponent told his fellow soldier to forbear, that the man was dying & just at that moment his arm dropped in death  Upon obtaining his discharge, he was drafted for one month & when that expired he substituted himself again for one James Stubbs for one month & was under the command of Marion on both sides of Santee River harassing the British & Tories when an opportunity offered.  When his time was out he recd a discharge & substituted himself again for one William Wolden, Served his time out (one month) & Substituted himself another time for a person whose name he has forgotten (for one month).  During all this time he was with Marion, who was generally engaged in hunting & harassing the Tories wherever he could hear of them.  At one time Marion & his men were attacked by the British at Wambo Bridge in Williamsburg Distr. So Ca.  The Americans had to retreat & Marion himself was so closely pushed, that
Page 8

had to swim his horse across the creek to save his own life.  After deponent recd his discharge he returned to Marlborough, volunteered under Capt Hal Delona & served with him three months in Skirmishes with the Tories; in none of which does he recollect any thing particularly worthy of notice.  He has stated the names of all the officers with whom he served as far as his memory would allow; he cannot call to mind particular continental or militia regiment & has already stated the general circumstances of his service as well as he could, the length of which he estimates at twelve months in actual service besides turning out at home.  He recd a discharge from the service, thinks it was given him by Genl Marion, & has lost it.  He is known to E. W. Jones, John McQueen, William Crosland, Hartwell Ayer, Wm Munnerlyn, John McCollum, Joshua David & many other gentlemen of respectability who can testify to his character for veracity & their belief of his services as a Soldier of the Revolution.  He has no documentary evidence of it, but thinks that John Hasken is now alive & is able to testify as to his services.  He hereby relinquishes all claim whatever to any pension except the present, & declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of the agency of any State.

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, musicians 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 | ss.
On this [blank space] day of [blank space] personally appeared (a) before [blank space] A. B. a resident (b) of [blank space] in the county of [blank space] and State, Territory or District of [blank space] aged (c) [blank space] years, who being first duly sworn, according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the act of Congress, passed June 7th, 1832. That he enlisted in the Army of the United States in the year (d) [blank space] , with [blank space] and served in the [blank space] (e) regiment of the [blank space] 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 i) 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 space]
Sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid. [blank space] A. B.
[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.
I [blank space] of the Court of [blank space] do hereby certify (h) that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said Court in the matter of the application of [blank space]
for a pension.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office (i) this [blank space] day of [blank space] &c.
If, on examination of the proper 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 space] and C. D. residing in (the same) hereby certify, that we are well acquainted with [blank space] , who has subscribed and sworn to the above declaration; that we believe him to be 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 Revofationary Soldier, and served as he states. And the Court further certifies, that it appears to them that A. B. who has signed the preceding certificate is a clergyman, resident in the [blank space] and that C. D., who has also signed the same is a resident in the [blank space] and is a credible person, and that their statement is entitled to credit.
I, [blank space] Clerk of the Court of [blank space] do hereby certify that the foregoing
contains the original proceedings of the said Court, in the matter of the application of [blank space] for a pension.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal [blank space] of office, this [blank space] day of [blank space] &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, 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 his alleged service, as they are known at the Department.  A very full account of the services of each person
Page 13

3
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 expected. 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 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 inquiry 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 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 or periods of the war of  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 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 Pence, &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 to the best of his recollection, he served not lese than the periods mentioned below. and in the following grades:- For --- year ---- months, and --- days, I served as a ---.  For --- months and days, 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, und 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 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.
