That this was then the custom of the country and soldiers received pay or was to receive pay agreeable to the oath so taken. this declarant further declares that if allowed as before stated the benefit of the proclamation of Gen Davidson as mentioned his original declaration he is entitled to pay for 7 months and three weeks service if he is not allowed pay for the same.

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
cannet swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recol-
lection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades; For

and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of
It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, 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 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 objection-
able. It must in every case be clearly shewn under what officers the applicant served ; the duration the
of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that
applicant served with an emborlied 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 em-
ployed in any civil pursuit.
IQUÉRÉ XIV. Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must
his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of
prove the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the
must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magis-
regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths
trate 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 authenticates the papers is not
tificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of whnch 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.

Gentlemen:

Can you tell me whether there was a pension
paid to either of the two following men. They
probably were brothers. ROBERT KERR and MATTHEW KERR.

Robert Kerr (or Karr) was living in Green County,
North Carolina and the first session of the County
Court was held in his house. (from King's Mountain Men
by K. K. White-p. 195) He fought at Point Plesant under [handwritten note:  1774]
Evan Shelby and at King's Mountain under Isaac Shelby.
Matthew probably brother to Robert was also at
Kings Mountain. In 1792 he was living in Knox Co.
and he was a sergeant at Ish Station.

I will greatly appreciate anything you can tell
me of these men.

Sincerely yours,
(Miss) Olive Hotchkiss
