Amendment of the Declaration of John Funderburk heretofore
submitted to the Warr Department in order to obtain the
benefit of the act of Congress passed 7th June 1832 ~

Georgia
Troup County / On this the twenty fourth day of June 1833 per-
sonally appeared in open court before Edmund S 
Harris, Samuel A Bailey, Joel D Newsom
Justices of the Inferior Court of said county; John Funderbuck
a resident of the county & state aforesaid who having just duly sworn
according to Law doth on his oath make the following
amendment to his declarations taken before the court on the
fourteenth day of January 1833 in order to obtain the 
benefit of the act of Congress passed the 7th June 1832

That it is impossible for him now to state the precise
period at which he entered the service of the United
States as he has no means at hand or within his reach
to ascertain the time exactly

This applicant further states "that by reason of old
age & 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 period mentioned below & in the following
grades. For two months I served as a private under
the command of Capt Curnantine & Col. Coshan, For four
months I served as a private under the command of Capt Terrill & Col Warsha

Page 10

For two months at the four holes in South Carolina I served
as a private under the command of Capt Davis & Col Hopkins
For five months as volunteer private under the command
of Capt Deason & Maj McManis (the last tour of five 
months was not mentioned in the original declaration of 
which this is mandatory for such service I claim a
pension"

This applicant further states that his recollection of
the length of time he served in the number of short
tours of duty mentioned in his original declaration
against the British & Tories is too indistinct for him
to swear about. He had rather lose any pension 
for it.

This applicant further answerith to the several
interrogatories directed by the War Department to be
prepended by the Court as follows

To the 1st I was born in North Carolina on
Haw River (having been taken from there in infancy

REGULATIONS UNDER THE ACT OF JUNE 7, 1832.
The following regulations have been adopted:

This law has been construed 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 a 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 Service.
4. Indian Spies.

As rolls of the regular troops in the Revolutionary War exist in this Department, all persons claim- 
ing the benefit 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 County of } ss.

On this          day of                      personally appeared (a) before 
          A. B. a resident (b) of                in the county of                              and State, Territory or District
of        ,  aged (c)                   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)      , with       and
served in the        (e) regiment of the        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 serv-
ed 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 te resided when he entered the service; the battles, if any, in which he was engaged, 
and the country through which he marched. [pointing hand symbol] This form is to be varied so as to apply to the cases of officers and per-
sons who belonged to the militia, volunteers, navy, &c.] 

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, ar (if any) only on that of the Agency in the State, or (if any) only on that of
the Agency in the State of

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 revolu-
tionary soldier, and served as he states.
I                     of the Court of                    
do hereby certify (h) that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said Court in the matter of
the application of                              for a pension.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office (i) this
day of                             &c.

If, on examination of the proper record, the names of applicants, making such declaration, cannot be
found, they will produce such proof as the rule given in 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 Virginia, will make and
subscribe a declaration similar to the foregoing, with the following additions, viz: 

(k) We, A. B., a Clergyman, residing in the                              and C. D. residing in (the same) 
hereby certify, that we are well acquainted with                                  , who has        
subscribed and sworn to the above declaration; that we believe him to be                                 
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 days 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 Revo- 
lutionary Soldier, and served as he states. And the Court further certifies, that it appears to them that A. B.,
who has signed the preceding certificate 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 that their statement is entitled to credit. do hereby certify that the foregoing
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 application 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 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
alleged service, as they are known at the Department. A very full account of the services of each person

Page 17

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? 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 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, 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 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 go 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 most 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. ln 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, it 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 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. 
[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 certifying 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 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.     
[pointing hand symbol] 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 this case 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.
