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] &c.

Every applicant will produce the best proof in his power.  This is the original discharge or commis
sion ; 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 ser
vices 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
Page 27

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 on the principal
means of corroborating the declaration of the applicant, if true, or of detecting the imposition, if one be at
tempted ; and unless, therefore, these are amply and clearly set forth, no favorable decision can be ex
pected.  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.
 {To a Soldier. { Did you ever receive a discharge from the service, and if so, by whom was it giv
6. {en, and what has become of it?
 {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 names of persons to whom you are known in your present neighborhood, and who can tes
tify 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, 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 pro
cure, 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 fol
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
claim cannot be 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 pub
lic 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 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
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 the 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 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 Madam:  

I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim,

in Baltimore County, Maryland.

While residing in Baltimore, Maryland, he enlisted in 1777 or 1778 
and served in Captains De Pontiere's and Lelanskey's ? Companies, in 
Count Pulaski's Legion.  He was in the battle of Egg Harbor, skirmish at 
Ten Mile House near Charleston, South Carolina and the siege of Savannah, 
where he was wounded in the leg.  He then enlisted in Colonel Washington's 
Regiment of Dragoons; was in the battle of Monk's Corner, where he was 
taken prisoner, carried to Charleston and put on a prison ship and held 
thirteen months; then was carried to Ireland and held five months when he 
made his escape but did not reach "his own county" until in 1785.

He was allowed pension on his application executed August 21, 1832, 
at which time he was living at Saltlick Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania.

He died August 13, 1840 at Saltlick Township.

The soldier married February 28, 1786, Jane.  Her maiden name is not given. 
It is stated that she was also of Maryland.

She was allowed pension on her application executed June 9, 1846, at 
which time she was living at Saltlick Township, Pennsylvania and was aged 
eighty-one years.

Dr. Sir;

Enclosed is some additional 
evidence in the case of Jane Warrick, 
widow of Charles D. Warrick, applying 
for a pension under the act of July 7th 
1838.  You will perceive by the letter 
of G. G. Brewer Esq., to whom you 
referred the Hon. Jno. H. Ewing in your 
letter of 30th ult., that no rolls of the 
Legion in which Charles D. Warrick served 
can be found.  The deposition of 
William Warrick shows that no record 
either public or private of the marriage 
is known to exist, therefore the evidence 
heretofore transmitted by Mr. J. H. Ewing  
is I believe the best that can now be 
had in the case.  The same kind of 
evidence was considered sufficient in the 
case of Mary Martin, widow of James 
Martin, submitted to the department some 
months since by myself.  As I then
stated,-- such evidence would be suffi
cient to establish a marriage in the 
courts of Penna. in all civil actions.

Very respectfully 
Yours

Sir,

I am again constrained to urge 
upon your attention the claim of Jane 
Warrick, widow of Charles D. Warrick, to 
a pension under the act of July 1838. 
The department has already recognised [recognized]
the husband to have been a revolution
ary soldier--the fact has been estab
lished and his pension granted thereon. 
The act of 1838 provides that the widows 
of revolutionary soldiers if married previous 
to 1794 shall receive a pension.  The proof 
of the marriage has been furnished 
what more remains--is not the law 
complied with both in spirit & letter. 
Unless the testimony upon which Warrick 
was pensioned can be impeached by the 
department how can the claim of the 
widow be refused.  Does the Commis
sioner personally entertain a reasonable 
doubt of her husbands service.

We cannot doubt [word struck out] that if 
obliged to appeal to the secretary or 
to Congress [struck out: that] the pension will be 
granted.  It is hoped however
Page 42

that you will not cause us the trouble 
& delay which would be occasioned by 
such course.  Every day's delay tends 
to defeat the beneficent designs of the 
framers of the act.  Please inform 
me immediately of your decision 
in the case.

Respectfully

Jno K. Ewing

J. L. Edwards, Esq.
Washington City 
D.C.

P.S.  Was there not an amendment 
to the pension appropriation act of the last 
session requiring pension to be granted 
to the widow upon the same evidence 
of service upon which the husband 
was pensioned unless the commissioner 
should be satisfied that such pension 
was erroneously granted.

Dr Sir;

I mailed to you some time 
since the additional evidence of the 
marriage of Charles D. & Jane Warrick. 
With regard to the service of the husband 
I think that upon a careful examination of 
the proof upon which he was pensioned no 
further testimony can be required.  The 
Department have from time to time relaxed the 
rules respecting the proof of Revolutionary ser
vices until now tradition alone I believe 
is sufficient.  In this case then we ask you 
to grant a pension upon the identical evidence 
which passed with approbation many years 
since & obtained a pension for C. D. Warrick 
at a time when the rules were more rigid 
& exacting than at present.  The testimony 
is I presume at least ample if not much more so 
than would be required from a Revolutionary 
soldier presenting his claims at this time.

Respectfully,

& request a speedy action thereon.  Supposing

of her husband which is now in the

Dr. Sir;

Enclosed is such evidence 
in the case of Jane Warrick widow of 
C. D. Warrick as will I believe furnish the 
proof the marriage required--

It is strange that at this late day 
when it is almost impossible to produce 
any direct evidence of Revolutionary ser
vices more proof should be required to 
procure a pension for the widow than was 
deemed necessary years ago to pension 
the husband.  The documents estalish
ing the service of Charles D. Warrick are 
now in the department--they were consider
ed then amply sufficient to pension him upon, 
& that at a time too when many of the witnesses & 
actors in the scenes were living.  It would 
appear from your letters that the evidence 
which he then furnished to the department 
has not been fully examined.  You 
mention only his service in Pulaski's Legion; 
he served also in Col. Washington's Regiment 
of Dragoons & it was whilst in that corps that he was 
taken prisoner & detained in the captivity of 
which you speak.  I beg that you have 
this evidence thoroughly reexamined: I think it 
cannot fail to be satisfactory in these latter 
days.  Respectfully ours

I return you the papers of Chs. D. 
Warrick, the old man is very poor & 
infirm & cannot procure the testimony 
of living witnesses.  He has lost his 
discharge as stated but hope you will 
upon search in the War & bounty 
land offices be able to find it--he 
is surprized [surprised] that his name is not 
found on the Rolls.  The witnesses by 
whom his service was once proved 
are dead.  Mr. Sutton his former 
agent is with me now & says he 
had proof of his service by two 
witnesses - Ephm Sutton & J. Barr

If you will read his 
statement you cannot doubt his 
service from the full & minute 
account of his service as well as 
from his known character.  I 
have no more doubt of his service 
than I have of my own existence
[struck out: If the] The late law of June 7. 1832 
was passed to embrace cases excluded 
by the former law & if the same 
proof is now required their object

lost in [illegible] Crump's office last winter 
& who has been put to great expense

Respected Sir

The heirs of Jane Warrick widow of 
Charles Warrick both deceased, and he having been a 
Revolutionary soldier, and pensioner of the United States 
after his death. the widow is said to have been [word struck out]
placed on the pension list.  This occurred [struck out: in the] between 
the years 1842 & 46 and she has since died. the 
heirs say that she was very old at the time 
she was placed on the pension list, and that 
her Certificate never came into her hands but 
was held and drawn by her agent, whom 
they say, they have reason to believe did not 
render a just and true account of said 
pension.  they wish to know the amount which 
she was entitled to receive in accordance with 
the Certificate, the amount she was entitled to yearly 
and when said pension commenced and terminated 
and where payable at.  I have written to the paymaster 
an Agent at Philadelphia and his answer is 
that no such name appears on the books there  
for the last fourteen years.  She was a resident 
at the time she was pensioned at Fayette County 
State of Penna.

Said information is much needed 
to an honest settlement of her said estate and 
you will confer a favour [favor] on her heirs by giving 
such information as will show the amount received 
by said widow or such other testimony as will lead 
to find out said amount.

I have the honor to be

Sir

Your letter of the 1st Inst., was received and I should 
have replied to it before, but have been prevented by indisposition.
I have made a carefull [careful] examination of the Records of the 
Revolution in this office, and they afford no evidence of the 
service of Charles Donnom Warrick.  You say, he alleges 
to have served in Pulaskis Legion.  We have no muster or 
payroll of Pulaskis Legion, but I find among the papers 
on file relating to the Revolution in this office, a paper 
endorsed as follows, "A List of recruits enlisted in Pulasky's
Legion, Baltimore," upon this list or roll, I find the name 
of one Charles Donnom to have enlisted on the 10th of May, 
1778.  The list I presume is in the hand writing of Pulas
ky, as it is accompanied with a letter written by him to 
the Council, [struck out: for] and the list of his men &c all appear to 
be in the same hand writing.  The name of Warrick does 
not appear upon the list, but Charles Donnom, the Chris
tian part of the name appearing.  It has occurred to me 
that some mistake may have been made in recording his 
name, and that Charles Donnom and Charles Donnom War
rick is one and the same person.

I am very respectfully,
Yr. Obt. Svt.
G. G. Brewer

Dear Sir:

Your letter of the 7th Inst., was received.  In 
reply, I have to inform you, that I have very carefully 
examined the muster and pay rolls of the Revolution in 
this office, and they afford no evidence of the service of 
Charles D. Warrick, his name is not to be found upon 
any of the rolls.  The records of the Revolution are imper
fect and there is no muster or pay roll to be found of the Legion in 
which Charles D. Warrick alleges to have served.

Very respectfully yrs,
G. G.  Brewer
