The papers on file in this claim contain no reference to wife or children of the soldier, John Judy.
The application for headstone for John Judy is returned herewith, as is, also, a letter addressed to your office from B. Grace Porter, Plattsburg, Ohio.
Very truly yours
A. D. Hiller

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

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. Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct?  Yes
XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War department answered satisfactorily? 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 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 legnth 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 ____ year ____months and ____days  I served as a ______, and for such service I claim a pension
Page 15

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 they served two years in the militia, etc. without specifying the tours; the name of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service.  This form of a declaration is highly objectionable.  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 XVI. Mode of authentication 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 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.

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your request for the Revolutionary War records of George Hill and John Judy.

While living in the Culpeper County, Virginia, George Hill enlisted in August, 1780, served as private under lieutenant McGuire on Colonel Green's Virginia Regiment and was in the battle of Guilford Court House. In March, 1781, about two weeks after said battle, he again enlisted, served as private in Captain Parsons' Company in Colonel Washington's Third Regiment of Light Dragoon's, was in the battles of Camden and Eutaw Springs, in which latter engagement he was wounded by a musket ball which passed through his leg, breaking the bone, and he was discharged in June or July, 1783. 

On account of the disability resulting from the above mentioned wound, he was allowed pension from February 25, 1813, at which time he was a resident of Hampshire County, Virginia. 

Later he lived in Ross County, Ohio. In 1829 he lived in Monroe Township, Pickaway County, Ohio, and was seventy-nine years of age.
