Sir
I would respectfully address you a [illegible] and offer as my excuse for the liberty, the necessity of the person in whose behalf I write.
Some years ago, say about 1832-3 Capt. James Toole, late of Richmond County Ga. formerly of Baltimore Maryland, Obtained Pension as Lieutenant in the Maryland line -- I think he told me, many years ago that he belonged to a body of troops calld the "Flying Camp" but I may have misunderstood him- as I do not Know of any but Flying [illegible] not much of that. He got a Pension from Evidence furnished by Genl. Saml. Smith then [illegible] from Maryland and as he had only one Daughter he gave her the proceeds of his pension to be invested in Land for her own use her Husband then being in embarrased circumstances: The Trustee invested the money recd in a tract of Land that to
Page 6

be valuable but the difficulties arising subsequently respecting title renders almost certain that the Land will be lost to her & no equivalent returned and as her Father left her no other property by his will having two Sons living & the most of his property left to his Widow ( who gave it all to a Daughter which she had by a former Husband) except the Pension which she knew was given to her Daughter by her last Husband Capt Toole Now the amount of what I have to ask is that the claim of Harriet N. Holt, formerly Harriet N. Toole only Daughter of Capt. James Toole who made a deed of gift of the proceeds of his pension to said daughter may not be deprived of her right by other Heirs of Capt Toole & Mrs Susanna Toole his late Widow & my Mother-in-law till proper evidence is offerd to show that my Wifes claim to this balance that may be done on the Pension to Capt. James Toole and his late Widow should be paid only to my wife or her Trustee. Your obt servt

On this third day of September Eighteen hundred and thirty two personally appeared in open Court before the Justices of the Inferior Court of Said County, now sitting for ordinary purposes. James Toole Senr. a resident of Said County of Richmond and State of Georgia aged Eighty two 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 Act of Congress passed June 7th 1832.
That he entered the service of the United States with the rank of Ensign in what was call'd the Flying Camp in the Maryland line or troops at the first organization of the Continental Army (the precise date he does not now recollect) and was afterwards appointed a Quarter Master of the Regiment by the commanding officer, whose name he has entirely forgotten: He resided in the County and City of Baltimore in the State of Maryland when he entered the service -- Was under the command of Genl. Washington at the White Plains in the State of New York and from thence had the command of a detachment (having been promoted to the rank of first Lieutenant) with orders Skirmish with the Enemy as occasion should require. and ultimately, to reinforce the Garrison of Fort Washing[cut off] where he arrived with his command and was among the [cut off] of the outposts that were driven in by the British the day Fort Washington capitulated and was included in th[cut off] terms and articles of capitulation and permitted to ret[cut off] on parole a prisoner of War, and does not recolle[cut off] that he was ever regularly exchanged; but thinks he
Page 8

continued a prisoner on parole to the close of the War. He does not recollect any living with whom he was personally acquainted in the Revolutionary Army, by whom he can prove his rank and military service, except Genl. Samuel Smith of Baltimore may remember something on the subject: He relies chiefly on evidence that may be found in the War Department. to wit, the Muster roll of the Maryland line -- or the flying Camp if such corps was reported to the Department. the articles of Capitulation of Fort Washington, with the list of prisoners surrendered, including the outposts -- he does not think his name will be found in the return of the Garrison on the 16th November 1776, because he had not been in the Fort 'till the terms of Capitulation were about to be agreed on, tho' his command and  himself were included in the terms and Articles of Capitulation -- He may have made some returns while he acted as Quarter Master that may be found in the Department, perhaps -- He has no documentary evidence in his possession. of his revolutionary services -- does not recollect by whom his Commissions were signed, has long since lost them, and relies chiefly upon evidence to be found in the records of Maryland or documents in the War Department to establish it more fully than is here set forth. He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or an annuity. except the present, and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of any agency in any State.

State, Territory, or District of County of } ss.

On this [blank] day of [blank] personally appeared (a) before [blank] A.B. a resident of (b) of [blank] in the county of [blank] and State, Territory or District of [blank] aged (c) [blank] 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], with [blank] and served in the [blank] (e) regiment of the [blank] 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;) 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, etc.]

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]
Sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid.
[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] of the Court of [blank] do hereby certify (h) that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said Court in the matter of the application of [blank] for a pension.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office (i) this [blank] day of [blank] etc.

If on examination of proper record the names of applicants, making such declarations, cannot be found, they will produce such proof as the rule given i 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 Virgina, 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] and C.D. residing in (the same) hereby certify, that we are well acquainted with [blank]  who has subscribed and sworn to the above declaration; that we believe him to be [blank] 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 day 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 Revolutionary Soldier, and served as he states. And the Court further certifies, that it appears to them that A.B. [blank] who has signed the preceding certificate is a clergyman, resident in the [blank] and that C.D. who has also signed the same is a resident in the [blank] and is a credible person, and that their statement is entitled to credit.

I, [blank] Clerk of the Court of [blank] do hereby certify that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said Court, in the matter of the application of [blank] for a pension.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office, this [blank] day of [blank] etc.

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 12

3
will be indispensable to a favorable action upon this 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, expect 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?  An 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 is 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 he answers to these questions are embodied in the declaration, and they are requested to annex their opinions of 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, expect the declaration of the party.  And the Courts requested to be very particular in the enquiry where 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 of Justice will execute the duties, which the Court herein requested to perform, and will also certify that the applicant cannot, from bodily infirmity, attend the Court.

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
