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 Clerks to Commissaries and to
Store Keepers, &c. Teamsters, Boatmen, &c. Persons who served on board of Private Armed Vessels are

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 in
stance, make application by transmitting the following declaration, which will be made before a Court of

for a pension.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office (i) this

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:

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

Soldier, and served as he states. And the Court further certifies, that it appears to them that A. B.

1
Clerk of the Court of
do hereby certify that the foregoing
contains the original proceedings of the said Court, in the matter of the applicacation of
for a pension.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal
of office, this
day of
& 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 his
alleged service, as they are known at the Department. A very full account of the services of each person
Page 7

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?
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.
Did you ever receive a discharge from the service, and if so, by whom was it giv-
Did you ever receive a commission, and if so, by whom was it signed, and what
on Office has become of it?
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 he 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
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 fall
low 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
the recent grades in which he served, in language so
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 has 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, &e. 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
the mentioned below, and in the following grades:--For year months, and
months and days, I served as a ; and for such service I claim a pension.
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 four months
indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state that they served two years
in the mintia, &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 place 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 union of the Court is always required.
[h] The Clerk must give his certificate in every case.
[i] The Clerk must 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 pubof
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 con-tains 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
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 witand
the other character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office
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.
The applicant must specify as required above

of Walton County, Georgia.
He died July 31, 1839, in Gwinnett or Walton County, Georgia.

Dear Sir
I received yours of the 23rd just yesterday and now proceed to give you all the information in my power respecting Austin Webb and his pension.  The agent for judging pensions here has permitted me to gather the same from papers on file and the Books in his office.  By reference to J. L. Edward’s Comms of Pensions letter of 29 January 1834 the agent here was directed to inscribe on his roll the name of Austin Webb private per act of 7 June 1832 at the rate of $80 per annum and his name stands so registered.
The agent here was directed on 26 March 1834 paid to William C Daniel the attorney of said Austin Webb the pension and him from 4 March 1831 to 4 March 1834 the pensioner then living in Walton Co Ga from the 4 March 1834 to 4 Mar 1837 the pensioner then living in Gwinnett Co the pension of said Austin Webb was paid to his attorney Mr F Lloyd from 4 Mar 1837 to 4 Mar 1839 the pension was paid to Wm Morel [my self] as the attorney of said Austin Webb since which time no payments have been made
Page 43

The vouchers in each case have been regularly forwarded to, acknowledged, and allowed by the pension department at Washington.  Under all these circumstances I am surprised that Col Edward could say that the name of Austin Webb is not on his roll of the Georgia Agency.
The name in the original letter of Col E is spelt “Austin Welb.” This appears to be all the information I can give you and know of no form in which I can throw it as to make it evidence before the department .  Perhaps the simple fact of referring Mr Edward’s to the circumstances herein stated may cause him to be more particular in his search and declarations to the existence of the pensioner in question.
Regretting the very limited information I have been able to afford.
I am Respectfully &c

Sir
I send the enclosed piece of testimony, not because I considered it necessary but because a friend of mine had kindly furnished me with it
As soon as my health would permit I went to see Mrs Ailsey Webb to inform her of the strange and unexpected news I had received from the Department "that her husbands name was not on the Georgia Roll of pensioners"  It was indeed strange news to her and she reported the assertion to me most positively that he was a pensioner at $80 a year and always drew his pension in Georgia; her son with whom she lives also told me the same thing and that Col Charles D Davis of Monroe Walton County Ga attended to the old man's business of that sort I have no doubt the papers in Savannah  will shew the same  I have been trying to get the original certificate of Austin Webb and if I can get it I will send it on to the Department , but I don't know whether I can get it or not I have just has an interview with J H Kilgore Esqr and he tells me that the name of Austin Webb is on the printed list of pensioners for Georgia, and it seems very strange to me that his
Page 46

name is not on the Rolls of the Department there must have been some mistake or neglect of some of the clerks of the Department at the time his name should have been registered  Mr Kilgore says he thinks the name is spelled  Austen on the printed Roll and I have spelled it Austin Now can it be possible that so slight a difference in the spelling (when the sound is the same) should affect Mrs Webbs claim?  The old lady (Mrs W) is entirely illiterate and does not know how her husband spelled his name, and I never enquired how to spell it when I made out the papers, for I know very well how it ought to be spelled and I spelled it correctly and if the man that made out old Mr Webbs papers at first, spelled it wrong that is not my fault nor the fault of his widow and I hope will not prejudice her claim.  We can prove to the satisfaction of the Department (if required) that it is the same man but this is merely conjectural and I should dislike to trouble the Department with such evidence unless I knew that my conjecture was well founded; and I never can believe until I have it from the Department that so slight a difference as that between e and i in that part of the name would make any difference or lead the Department to conclude that it is another name  I know it is the same name but I had no means of knowing how it has been spelled at first all I considered if necessary to do was to spell it right.
Page 47

I hope the Department will inform me where the difficultie lies and I am certain I can remove it I can satisfy the Department beyond the shadow of a doubt that Mrs Ailsey Webb is entitled to a pension as the widow of Austin Webb deceased Let me know the weak points and I can furnish abundance of proof but I do not wish to cumber the Department with evidence upon points already sufficiently proven
Knowing the press of business in the Department I am very loath to trouble it with this long letter or to ask an answer, but I trust the present needy & afflicted condition of Mrs Webb will furnish a sufficient apology

Sir
I enclose you the application of Mrs Ailsey Webb for a pension, accompanied by the affidavit of Sherod Morris and a certified copy of the last Will & Testament of Austin Webb decreased - The applicant I presume will prove the marriage as strong as reputation & cohabitation could well do, and I have forwarded the copy of the will for the purpose of showing that Austin Webb recognized her as his wife and that they raised a large family of Children - together as husband & wife. And if any other testimony is required - she would refer the Department to testimony furnished at a previous application and I understand made at a time when the Department - considered no widows entitled only those whose husbands had died before the act was passed. I apprehend however that there may be some discrepancy in the testimony as to dates for both the applicant & Mr Morris who made the foregoing affidavit relied upon the ages of their oldest children and their own ages at this time and at the time of their marriage: neither of them having any record of their marriage in their Bibles all of them being illiterate. But all the testimony will show that the marriage of Austin Webb and Ailsey Webb took place long before the year 1794 for Sherod Morris says that what he testified to, took place in what is now Elbert County but then Wilkes County in this State and by reference to Watkins' Digest of the Laws of Georgia it will be seen that Elbert County was made out of Wilkes & that too in the year 1790.
I am not prepared to say whether there
Page 55

is any record of the marriage License or not and in face I do not know that License were required at that time But I expect to pass through Washington Wilkes County Ga. in a short time and if there is any License they should be there and if they can be found I will furnish the Department with a copy - I have written twice to the Clerk in that county and have received no answer and I am inclined to think there is no record of the License if there ever was any License required at that time.

Sir,
Being on a visit I write you from this place and enclose you the certificate of the Clerk of the Court of Ordinary of Wilkes County to be used as evidence in the case of the application of Mrs. Ailsey Webb for a pension - the object is to remove the prosecution of the Record so as to let in passed testimony -
Permit me to inquire about the fate of Mr. James Whitlock of DeKalb County - the old man's health is rapidly declining & he is fast hastening to the end and it would be a service to him in his last days to know that his government recognized him as one of the early defenders of his country's rights and also the precuring aid furnished to such characters would be particularly acceptable to him at this time - He would be glad to have the anxiety and suspense removed in some way for whenever I see him he specifically enquires about the result of his application, therefore I hope the Department will execute my inquisitiveness and give me an answer.

Lawrenceville Ga.   June 6th 1844  Dear Sir : Believing as I do that Mrs. Ailsey Webb is most unquestionably entitled to a Pension as the widow of Austin Webb dec'd . I have spared no pains, expense or labor to satisfy the Department of that fact, and the enclosed letter from  Mr. Morel is in answer to one I wrote him some time ago requesting him to furnish  me with all the information  attainable , that would goo to prove that Austin Webb was a pensioner - the original certificate had not been found, nor do we know exactly who it was that made out his papers at the last Court in Walton County  who is now also dead and among those papers  & the papers of old Mr. Webb dec'd ineffectual  search has been made for the certificate. Mrs. Webb is entitled to the arrears due her husband on his certificate, but as it cannot be found  I would ask the Department to forward a copy if they are satisfied that Austin Webb  was a pensioner - If any proof of the loss of the original  is  necessary  I would be glad to know it. I am aware that the officers of the Department are greatly harassed & fatigued  with the constant press of business especially during the sessions of Congress  and perhaps every applicant thinks his or her case most particularly  calling for consideration but I expect there are but few cases more deserving the consideration of the Department than Mrs. Webb - it has been before the department a long time - all the witnesses that testify concerning her marriage with Austin Webb , prove unquestionably  the marriage.

Mrs. Webb is now very old and has been confined to her bed for several years with paralysis and needs assistance and if she should die before her pension is drawn her children would probably never get it as they are very numerous and are scattered over three different states - Georgia,  Alabama, and Tennessee. - so that if her claim is not soon  allowed it will not benefit either her or her children.

Sir
I must beg you to review your decision in the case of Ailsey Webb - the Law does not
admit of the severe & strict construction you have placed on it - The words "have died leaving a widow &c" relate to the time of the death of the husband & not the passage of the Law -     re-view - reverse - & I have confidence in
the result -

Dear Sir:-                                        Revo
           Please give me the information found in the application for pension, for service in the War of the Revolution, of Austin Webb, who was living in Walton County, Georgia in 1835, record of which is found on page 61 of Georgia pensioner's. He was a brother of Claiborn Webb, the Revolutionary ancestor of my wife, and as we have very little definite information of where he was born and where he lived before coming to Georgia, this information would be of great help.
         Mrs.  Edwards  is preparing her application for membership in the Daughters of American Revolution, and I would appreciate and early reply.
          A self- addressed stamp envelope is enclosed for your convenience in replying. 

                                              Yours very truly,
