APPLICATION FOR A NEW CERTIFICATE.
State of New York
County of Monroe { ss.
On this fourth day of March 1836, before me, the subscriber, a Justice of the Peace for the said county of Monroe personally appeared Jonathan Wilkinson who, on his oath, declares that he is the same person who formerly belonged to the company commanded by Captain Daniel Pendleton in the regiment commanded by Colonel Jonathan Baldwin in the service of the United States; that his name was placed on the pension roll of the State of New York that he received a certificate, of that fact under the signature and seal of the Secretary of War; which certificate, on or about the thirty first day of October 1835 at or near the city of Detroit in the Territory of Michigan he lost his certificate above mentioned from among some papers which he had in his trunk, and believes that it must have been dropped from his traveling trunk at the time he changed his clothes at the public house in Detroit where he put up.
Sworn and subscribed to before me, the day and year aforesaid.
Jonathan Wilkinson
The words "his certificate above mentioned" are used by me before signing the same
A. L. Stevens Justice of the peace.
NOTES.—The last four blanks are left for the applicant to set forth the time, place, and manner of the loss or destruction of the original certificate.
The oath to be taken before a duly qualified Magistrate, whose official character and signature must be properly authenticated.
If the Pensioner has never received a formal certificate, but has drawn his pension on a mere notification, as was the case in a few instances many years ago, he should leave out the above words in italics, and insert, in lieu thereof, "but has never received a formal certificate, and now wishes to obtain one."
The Pensioner's oath must be supported by the evidence of another person as to identity. The person must swear that he well knows him to be the same person described in the above affidavit. The Magistrate must certify that the deponent is a person of veracity. This oath must also be authenticated by the certificate of the proper officer, under his seal of office, setting forth that the officer before whom the affidavit may be made is a Justice of the Peace, Judge, or Notary Public, as the case may be.
When a person acting as an agent or Attorney for a pensioner, loses the certificate, the affidavit of that person is also required, which must be authenticated as above.
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 be sent with the papers.
Mode of authenticating papers.—In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officers who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or small 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.
No attention will be given to applications from persons who act as agents, unless they are known at the War Department, or are vouched for as respectable persons by some one who is known to the Department.
