BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims , of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of Elisha Warden which require further proof or explanation.
I. Does the declaration show where the applicant resides? yes II. Did the declarant make the declaration in the county where he resides? yes 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? yes 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? yes VII. Has he made a relinquishment of every claim to any other pension than the one under the Act of June 7, 1832? yes VIII. Has the Court given their opinion? yes IX. Has the Clerk given his certificate? yes 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? yes

XII. If the clergyman's affidavit has not been produced, is there any reason assigned for not obtaining 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 that such proof cannot be had? No
XIV. † If the applicant has produced a witness or witnesses as to his service, has the magistrate who administered the oath certified that he, she, or they are persons of credibility?
Has the official character and signature of the magistrate been certified by the proper officer under his seal of office?
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? yes
XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not so answered? yes
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 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.
The original declaration should be transmitted to this Dept, together with the one now returned, in order to a proper investigation of the claim,
June 29, 1833
Agreeably to above admonition I have appended the Original to the amended Declarations which taking together will have, as is confidently expected, obviated every objection to the success of the applicant.

State of Kentucky. Allen County Court September Term 1832.
On this the 17 th day of September 1832 personally appeared in open court before us Elisha Marden, pro witness in his own behalf, being first sworn, and being an Justices of said court then and there in the court house of said county in court sitting Elisha Marden a resident of the state and county aforesaid aged Seventy One years, who being first duly sworn according to Law, doth, on his Oath make the following declaration, in order now to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7. 1832.
That he entered into the service of the United States under the following named Officers and served as herein stated. That some time in September 1777. he enlisted in the Town of Alexandria, Fairfax County Virginia, under Captain Thomas Pollard in the Reg t (Virginia Militia) commanded by Colonels Rumney (or Rumbly) and George Gilpin and Maj r James Wren, the names of other Officers not at this time recollected; That he enlisted as aforesaid in the room and stead of William Simpson who was then bound to perform a three months tour of service as a private in the Revolutionary War. Applicant states that in a few days after his enlistment aforesaid he marched with said Reg t for Pennsylvania to join the main Army passing through George Town and Fredrick Town in Maryland thence through York and Lancaster in Pennsylvania and through other Towns not now remembered and joined the American Army on its retreat from the battle of Germantown on the same day and near that Town. Shortly after the junction aforesaid said Reg t was attached to the Brigade commanded by Gen d Charles Scott, applicant was in no battle or engagement with the enemy during the time of his service, The detachment to which he belonged changed position from time to time, and was principally employed as a party of Observation, to ascertain the movements of the British Applicant with those who enlisted with him were discharged at the Wet Camp some time in December 1777.
This applicant further states that at the time of his being discharged as aforesaid, he did not apply for a written discharge; but some time after he did procure the certificate of his Capt n Thomas Pollard proving

his service as a soldier as above stated, and the same now in the possession of applicant is in the words and figures following (to wit) Fairfax Co. At the time of the draft of this County Militia last September Elisha Warden who I understood drew a high number, did agree to go in the room of William Simpson who drew No. 3, provided Simpson would go, whenever it came to Warden's turn. and the said Warden did march in Simpson's stead and remained in camp till the militia was discharged. Certified this 25 th day of May 1778. Thos. Pollard.
This applicant states that previously to his serving in the room of William Simpson as above stated, and as he thinks, and to the best of his recollection in 1776 he served on an expedition under the same Captain (Pollard) for some weeks perhaps about a month, in protecting the Estate of General Washington at Mont Vernon from the depredations of the British. That he served as a Volunteer in Capt James Waugh's Company in the protection of the Town of Leolchester in Fairfax County, from the British. That he also served in said Waugh's Company, which was the same that had been under the Command of Capt. Thomas Pollard, for some time, in 1781. That applicant marched with said Company and they went on as far as Leolchester in their way to join the American army then at or near Little York (W.A) The Company was by order of General Washington (as was said) employed for some time, in clearing out and repairing the road from Leolchester to York, for the Northern Army and artillery to pass on to the Siege. Applicant cannot state with precision the length of time he served in either of the enumerated excursions, but takes altogether it is his belief and best recollection that he served in the Revolutionary war about Seven months. He has no documentary evidence other than the Certificate of Captain Pollard above stated, and if he ever had any other the same has long been lost or destroyed. Applicant was born in the County of Prince William State of Virginia in July 1761 from the best information he can have and as he believes, he has no record of his age. When called on to service he was living in Fairfax County Virginia since the Revolutionary he has lived in Fauquier County Virginia and afterwards in this State of Kentucky and now lives in Allen County Kentucky, that he knows of no person whose testimony he can procure, in this matter save the individual whose statement is hereto appended. Applicant has often spoken of his having been a Soldier in the Revolution and he doubts not his neighbours can testify as to his having so spoken and as to their belief of the truth or falsehood of his statements. Statements of J. P. Pinson and J. P. Hickman who live in his neighbourhood and have long known applicant are hereto appended.

and depended upon to shew the statements made by him and the belief of the neighbourhood as to applicants reputation for truth and his being a revolutionary Soldier.
This 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 the Agency of any State.

Eliza Warden
I John Gibson a resident of Allen County State of Kentucky being first duly sworn according to law depose and say. That I have carefully read and examined the foregoing Statements of Elisha Warden. This Deponent entered in Capt. Ramsays company at Alexandria in September 1777, and marched shortly after with the Reg t (Virginia Militia) commanded by Colonels Runney (or Rumbly) and George Gilpin and Maj t James Wren, names of the other officers not recollected, S d Ramsays company was in said Reg t . This deponent has a distinct recollection of the facts as to the marching of said Reg t from Alexandria, the rout from thence, the passing through Georgetown Frederick Town, York and Lancaster, the junction of the Reg t with the Main Army near Germantown, the discharge of the Men at the Brandywine Camp as in said statement by said Warden set forth. Deponent resided in Fayette County (Va.) during the years 1776, 77, 78 and until after the year  and for several years thereafter . He was acquainted with Capt. Thomas Pollard and knows that he commanded as above by S d Warden stated and in the Reg t under the command of Colonels Runney (or Rumbly) and Gilpin. Deponent heard at the time of the troops marching to Mount Vernon on the Potomack to guard the property of General Washington, also of Men being marched by Capt. Waugh & others to protect the town of Winchester from being plundered by the British, and of Col. Ramsays of the marching of Capt. Waughs company for Little York in 1781. but he was not in the company, and states only what was generally talked of, and of public notoriety at the time. Deponent had no acquaintance
with S d Warden until after they removed to this State. Since their residence here he has lived within about 4 or 5 miles from his residence, has seen him often, knows him well, has often talked with him about his being in the Revolutionary War, and the more frequently perhaps on account of their serving in the same Reg t at the same time and from the same County, and each knowing Officers and Men in said Reg t & County
This deponent states that in the many conversations he has had with said Warden on this subject, he has always given him in substance

the same information on the subject as is contained in his said Statement above. This deponent has frequently heard S d Warden spoken of as a Revolutionary Soldier, and Warden's reputation for truth is good and has never been called in question so far as the deponent knows or believes

Hon. D. H. Manning
Chief of the National Bureau
I have the honor to appeal from the decision of the Hon. Commissioner of Pensions, in the claim for Increase of Pension of Mrs. Fanny Wardens Widow of Elisha (Leah) late a soldier in the Revolutionary War, under the joint resolution of July 18/67. —
The Commissioner of Pensions, decided in this case, that all Widows of Revolutionary Soldiers, married before or since 1800, who have been pensioned have received the same rate that their husbands received in their life- time. Neither the Act of July 28. '67 or any existing Pension Act allows to claimants an increased rate of Pension

and her claim is rejected" —
This decision nullified the joint Resolutions of April, 1 st 1864 and Feb. 1867. — The first of these resolutions gives $100 to surviving spouses of the Revolutionary War, in addition to the Pensions they are now entitled to under former Acts of Congress. — The latter resolution gives to the Widows of such soldiers, who were married prior to January 1800, the same Pensions their husbands would be entitled to under existing laws, if now living . —
My said Client was married to said soldier in 1797, and was pensioned under the Act of 1848 at a rate of $21. 67 per annum. —
There can be no doubt that if the husband of my Client was now living , he would be entitled to the additional $100. 00 allowed by the joint resolution of April 1864. — Congress some years after seeing that he

allow the benefits of said resolution only to the surviving soldiers of the Revolutionary War. xxly was very unjust and oppressive to the aged, poor and deserving widows of such soldiers. passed the joint resolution of Feb'y 67. giving them to said widows. and said prior to the same sum as her husband would be entitled, under existing laws , if now living . — What existing laws ? the joint resolution of April 64 &c.
The Commissioner of Pensions in his decision takes no notice of the resolution of April 64. and virtually ascribes to Congress the making of laws meaning nothing and benefitting no one. — That is the result of his decision in this case, before cited, wherein he says the joint resolution of Feb'y 67. is a nullity . —
It seems so very clear to my mind, that my client had

entitled to the increase under the joint resolution of July 16, 7. that I draw further argument unnecessary —
Very Respectfully

State of Kentucky County of Allen } ss.
Personally appeared before me the undersigned, a Justice of the peace in and for the County of Allen and State of Kentucky Elisha Warden of said County who being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that by reason of Old age, and the consequent loss of memory he cannot swear positively to the precise length of his Service as a Revolutionary Soldier, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades.
