BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims , of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of Isaac Wallerath which require further proof or explanation.
I. Does the declaration show where the applicant resides? — no II. Did the declarant make the declaration in the county where he resides? Declaration not completed 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? — no V. * Has he mentioned 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? — no VI. Has he given the names of the officers under whom he served, in conformity with the regulations? not known VII. Has he made a relinquishment of every claim to any other pension than the one under the Act of June 7, 1832? no VIII. Has the Court given their opinion? — no IX. Has the Clerk given his certificate? no X. Is the Clerk's seal affixed? And if so, has it a device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal? — no

XI. Has the applicant obtained the evidence of a clergyman and another respectable citizen as to their belief respecting his age and the general belief in his neighborhood relative to his revolutionary service? no Clergyman - but others that may be considered traditional XII. If the clergyman's affidavit has not been produced, is there any reason assigned for not obtaining it? none 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 that such proof cannot be had? no XIV. † If the applicant's name is not found on the rolls of military service, has he produced a witness or witnesses as to his service? none as to facts of 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 certified 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? no XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not so answered? no
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 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 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 shewn 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.
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 authenticates 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 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 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.

most continually from Spring until late in fall lurking around in the woods near the fences, keeping the inhabitants alarmed and constant on their guard, and deponent doth believe that the Applicant at least has rendered the benefit of Garrison Service, exclusive of being called out occasionally to repel the incursions of the Enemy, as placed opposite impracticable for any faithful and true soldier to recollect after such length of time, when no memorandum of service was kept by neither officer nor soldier, with the exception of one, an abstract taken and reserved by him, Capt. Capt. Christopher W. Fox, which was calculated for the year 1778, taken of the original pay roll, at the time when deponent was not aged 15 years and by which it would appear, that at a moderate calculation, averaging 3 months & 1/2 for soldier exclusive of mileage and subsistence roll, and apparently no comparison the Militia soldier had to encounter from that time to the conclusion of the war,
deponent further says that the Applicant has at least rendered the benefit of service on behalf of the United States as placed opposite, he knows that claimant was a zealous friend to the American cause, and never deficient excepting once as claimant told to deponent himself, and that for reason, that he had no shoes to put on and for this last year, the Indians from Spring until late in fall, kept raiding the inhabitants in the town of Palatine continually, and much the same in the neighboring town of Pennsylvania in the year 1782, some times murdering & burning, and at other times snatching away some of the inhabitants, & carried prisoners to Canada and in consequence the Militia often and almost continually bearing and guarding against those incendiaries deponent believes two thirds out of nine months service rendered by claimant during said nine months
And this deponent further saith, and as the agent on behalf of the Applicant hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a Pension or Annuity except the present and declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of any agency in any State.
