My dear Mr. Horne: 

In response to your letter of the twentieth instant, I have the honor to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S.5535, it appears that Henry Horn was born in 1758 in Germany near Hesse Castle. 
He was sixteen years of age when he came to this country. 
He enlisted in 1777 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and served fourteen months in Count Pulaski's legion and was in a skirmish on Long Island. 

He was allowed pension on his application executed August 28, 1832, while a reside of St. Clair Township, Bedford County, Pennsylvania, where he stated that he had lived thirty years, having moved there from Virginia. There is no family data on file. 

Very truly your,

Regulations Under the Act of June 7, 1832. 

The following regulations have been adopted. 
This law has been constructed to extend, as well to the line, as to every branch of the Staff of the Army, and to include under the terms "Continental line,"  "State troops," "militia," and "volunteers," all 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 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 Services. 
4. Indian Spies. 

As rolls of the regular troops in the Revolutionary War exist in this department, All persons claiming the benefits of this law as officers, non-commissioned officers, mucicians 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


And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion, after the invstigation of the matter, and after putting the interrogatories prescribed by the War Department, that hte above named applicant was a Revolutionary Solder, and erved as he states. and the Court further certifies, that it appears to them that A. B. who has signed the preceding certifcate is a clergyman, resident in the                  and that C.D., who has also signed the same is a resident in the.               and is a credible person, and thta their statement is entitled to credit. 

I,                           Clerk of the Court of              do hereby certify that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said court, in the matter of the applicatoin 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 entail 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, (I) 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-
Page 14

alleged service, as they are known at the Department. A very full account of the services of each person 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?
6. 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 name 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, form 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, 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, 1852; 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 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 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 he 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 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."
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 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 au-thority; 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 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 crediblility of the wit-nesses, 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.

Dear Sir:-
As instructed by the Adjutant Generals office of the war department, I am writing you relative to the record of Henry Horn who served in the Revoluntary war.   One record we have received from the war department says he served under Captian John Stith's Company, fourth Virginia regiment later known as the third and fourth, having inlisted in 1777 and according to this record  was last on the rolls in 1779.
We also have a record which states that he was enlisted at Lancaster at the age of 18 in 1777 and later moved to Louden County, Virginia and perhaps re-enlisted there. 
After the war he moved to St. Clair Twp., Bedford County, Pa. and applied for pension August 8, 1832. 
So far as we know he belonged to the records of the Grand Army of the Republic at Bedford, Pa. 
Please give me whatever record you may be able to provide regarding the bounty lands, application for pension, war record, etc.
Thanking you in advance for whatever service you may be able to render, I am  
Yours truly,
J. Ross Horne

to gather- he was supposed to leave enlisted from Loudon Co. Virginia. He was a cavalryman & I have been told was in Cornel Pulaski's Legion. He was in charge of a group of men under him. He came to this country about 1773. one of our relatives claims he enlisted from Lancaster, Penna. but most of the relatives claim Loudon Co. Va.

He applied for pension on August 28-1832. He moved from Loudon Co. Va. to St. Clair Township near Bedford Bedford Co. Penna & way have been living there when he applied for his pension.

Gentlemen:-
Will you kindly send me an exact copy of the pension record in the Rev. War. of Henry Horn. 
He was born in Germany, Oct. 15-1758; died in St. Clair Township, Bedford Co. Pa. May 8-1845.
He applied for pension Aug. 28-1832 while living in Bedford Co. Pa. 
We have no authoritarian knowledge of his service, but his descendants suppose he was living in Loudon Co. Va. during the Rev. and that he was in the Battle of Monmouth and long Island, and that he was one of Count Pulaski's Legion. 
I cannot find his service in the Virginia Rev. Records in out Penna. Historical Societym although it mentions "Henry Horn, Bounty Warrants."
I do not like to appear to hurry you, but would it be possible to have this copy reach me so that my client can present her papers at the April meeting of the  National Board of Management, D.A.R. 
Appreciating and thanking you for your courtesy, I am 
Very sincerely yous,

J.A. Fritchey, M.D.,
Harrisburg Hospital,
Harrisburg, Dear Sir:
I advise you that photostatic copies of papers on file in Revolutionary War pension claim of Henry Horn who enlisted in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, will be furnished you at the rate of fifteen cents a page. The number of pages is six. Should you desire to have them certified allow twenty-five cents additional for the set.  The proper amount should be forwarded to this bureau by money order drawn to the order of the Secretary of the Interior. The Revolutionary War records of this bureau fail to afford any information in regard to Anthony Horn (HOrne etc.) or Martin Weaver.
Very truly yours, 
Earl D. Church,
Commissioner.
