Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter of January 8, 1937, in which you designate the following soldiers of Virginia with the surname Glenn, as those whose records you desire:  Abraham, Charles, Daniel, Gideon, James, Henry, Joseph, Peyton and William.

There are no claims for pension or bounty land on file which have been made to the United States based upon service in the Revolutionary War of Abraham, Charles, Daniel, Gideon, Henry, Joseph, Peyton, Robert and William Glenn. The record has been found of one James Glenn who was born in Virginia. His record is given herein as found in pension claim, S. 21768, as it may aid you in your research.

James Glenn was born in the year 1759, in Berkeley County, Virginia; the names of his parents were not given.

While a resident of Lincoln County, North Carolina, he enlisted and served as private in the North Carolina troops, on tours shown as follows in 1775, four months in Captain John Barber's company, Colonel William Graham's regiment, which service was rendered as substitute for his father, against the Indians; in 1777 or 1778, three months in Captain John Carruth's company of mounted rangers, and one month in Captain John Robinson's company in 1780, four months in Captain Malcolm Henry's company, Colonel William Graham's regiment, and was in the battle of King's Mountain; and in 1781, three months in Captain Thomas Loften's company.

The soldier moved from North Carolina to York District, South Carolina.

He was allowed pension on his application executed October

BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims, of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of
James Glenn -- which require further proof or explanation.

I. Does the declaration show where the applicant resides? Yes

II. Did the declarant make the declaration in the county where he resides? Yes

III. If the applicant did not make the declaration in the county where he resides, is there any reason assigned for his not doing so?

IV. Has the declarant mentioned the period or periods of the war when he served? Yes

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 amout [amount] of pension he is entitled? Yes

VI. Has he given the names of the officers under whom he served, in conformity with the regulations? Yes

VII. Has he made a relinquishment of every claim to any other pension than the one under the Act of June 7, 1832?  Yes

VIII. Has the Court given their opinion? Yes

IX. Has the Clerk given his certificate? Yes

X. Is the Clerk's seal affixed? And if so, has it a device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal?  Yes
Page 21

XI. Has the applicant obtained the evidence of a clergyman and another respectable citizen as to their belief respecting his age and the general belief in his neighborhood relative to his revolutionary service? No

XII. If the clergyman's affidavit has not been produced, is there any reason assigned for not obtaining it? No

XIII. If the applicant has no documentary evidence, and has not obtained the testimony of at least one living witness, has he stated in his declaration that such proof cannot be had? 

XIV. If the applicant's name is not found on the rolls of military service, has he produced a witness or witnesses as to his service?
If he has produced direct proof as to service, has the magistrate who administered the oath, certified to the credibility of the witness or witnesses?  No
Has proper officer certified to the official character and signature of the magistrate as the regulations direct? with the exception of one, he has

XV. Does it appear from any of the papers that the witness was in such a situation, or of such age, as to have a personal knowledge of the applicant's service?  Yes

XVI. Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct?

XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not answered? they are all answered 

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 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.
Page 22

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 service. The use of the phrase about three or four months is too definite and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state 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 shewn under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place of 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 proper officer, under his seal of office.        
QUERE XVI. 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 paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or 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. 
[handwritten] Credibility of the [illegible] must be certified for the official character & signature of the magistrate
