BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims, of which those

                                          answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of

                                          William Blackburn which reguire

                                          further proof of explanaition


I.        Does the declaration show where the applicant resides?


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


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?


V.*        Has he mentioned with precision the length ofhis service, and the different grades in which he
             served, in language so definite as to enable the department to determin to what amout of pension
             he is entitled?


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

IX.         Has the Clerk given his certificate?

.                                                                                                   2

XI.      Has the applicant obtained the evidence of a clergyman and anther respectable citizen as to
           their belief respecting his age and the general belief inhis neighborhood relative to his revolu -
           tionary service?


XII.     If the clergyman's affidavit has not been produce,is there any reason assigned for not obtain - 
            ing it?


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 the such proof cannot be had?


XIV.     + If the appliant name is not found on the rolls of militar 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?

             Has the proper officer certifed to the official character and signature of the magistrate as the
             regulations direct?


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


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 so answered?



                                                                              EXPLANATORY NOTES.

* QUERE V.  In a case where the applican cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how
long he serve, he should ammend 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 positvely as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of hs recol -
lection he served not less than the periods ention below, and 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 14

.                                                                                                   3

             It is important in all aces to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served
             and the particular rank he held, as the law direts 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 in -
             definite, and all such qualifying expression are objectionable.  Some persons who apply for apensions
             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 objection -
             able.  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 wa performed, he was not em -
             ployed 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 th time of
            the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leve 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 magist -
            trate m ust be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.


++ QUERE  XVI   Mode of authentucating 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 cer -
           ticate 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.

          In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, has no [iblic seal of
          office, the certificate of a member of congress, proving the official character and signature of the
         certifying officer, should accompany the papers.
