My dear Sir:

I understand that your office has the records and that you will do me the favor to inform me as to the exact body of troops the great grandfather of my wife belonged to during the Revolutionary War.  You will confer a great favor upon me if you will do so.  

His name was William Deshazo, and the family tradition is that he was in General Lafayette’s French Army he brought over to our assistance.  It is well known by old people now living that his wife Jane Deshazo received from the U. S. Government a pension until her death on account of her husband’s services.  After the Revolution he settled in Henry county, Va.  I don’t know whether it was Henry at that time or Pittsylvania.  Possibly Henry had not then been formed.

If you will give me the information it will be greatly appreciated.

Very Truly, 

George P. Lee

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 the 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.
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 authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticated 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 end 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.
