Declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress, passed June 7 th 1832 — State of Ohio } Ross County ss On this 19 th day of October 1832 personally appeared in open court, before the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas, for said County, now sitting, Joseph Waugh, a resident of Buckskin township in the County of Ross and state of Ohio, aged sixty nine years, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath, make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress, passed June 7 th 1832 —
That from information rec d from a Mr. Strong who kept the records of Births in the town of Litchfield, in the state of Connecticut & according to his best recollection, he was born in the town of Litchfield, in the County of Litchfield, and state of Connecticut, in December 1762 — That he entered the service of the United States in the Militia in the Revolutionary War, as a substitute, about the year 1776, for a man by the name of DeLittle, from Litchfield County, in the state of Connecticut, on a tour of three months, and was sent to a place called Horse Neck on east river, near New-York, to guard against the British and Tories, when a village below Horse Neck was burned by the British, but being at that time only about fourteen years old he cannot recollect the name of any of his Officers; having served his tour he returned home to Litchfield Co., he again entered the service of the U. States in the Revolutionary War, on a tour of six months, in the Militia, in the spring of the year that Gen l Arnold's treachery was discovered, and was sent to West Point, he thinks under Capt. Watson, and was stationed a short distance from the fort, up the river, being often called on guard at different places in that vicinity; Gen l Arnold was then in command, and having served out his tour of six months was discharged and returned home a few days before Arnold's plot was discovered — he again entered the service of the U. States on a tour of three months, in the year that Danbury, in Connecticut, was burned by the British, he was under the command of Col l Cooper, and was marched to Snaken Hill, thence to near Horse Neck, guarding on the sound, and was discharged and returned home a few days before the expiration of his tour — he again entered the service of the U. States in the Militia in the Revolutionary War, as a substitute for his Brother Thaddeus Waugh, (who was orderly sergeant in the regular troops, under Capt. Lindley,) in the fall of the year, about November, and continued on duty with the army, on the high lands, near Pikes Hill till about February, when his brother returned and took his own place, and shortly after the army was marched

to the south, being near the close of the War; having been out several other shorter tours; but his recollection is so much impaired that he cannot recollect the names of the Officers, generally; nor the years in which he performed the different tours, but is certain of having performed as much as fifteen months service that shortly after the War, he left the state of Connecticut, and lived in different places; but for the last thirty years or upward he has lived at his present place of Residence in Ross County Ohio; he has no documentary evidence of any of his services, and knows of no person whose testimony he can procure who can testify to any of his services, except Lemson Waugh, whose testimony will accompany this declaration - he 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. On reflection I am not certain whether Capt. Watson was my Captain at West Point.

Joseph Waugh-W.3745 BA-J/AWF
Mr. M. R. Emberson 623 West 4th Street Engstrum Apt. Los Angeles, California
Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information relative to Joseph Waugh, born in 1763 in Litchfield, Connecticut, soldier of the War of the Revolution, and pensioned in 1832 in Ross County, Ohio.
The Revolutionary War record of Joseph Waugh which follows was obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, W. 3745, based upon his service in that war.
Joseph Waugh was born in December, 1762 or December 4, 1763 in Litchfield, Connecticut, names of his parents not given.
While residing in said Litchfield, he served with the Connecticut troops, as follows: in 1776, three months, officers not recollected; the year of the Danbury raid, about three months in Colonel Cooper's regiment; the year of General Arnold's treachery, six months in Captain Watson's company; and about three months as substitute for his brother, Thaddeus Waugh, who was an orderly sergeant in Captain Lindley's company, and served until his brother returned and took his place in the company, dates of this tour not given.
He left the state of Connecticut shortly after the Revolution and "lived in different places". He was allowed pension on his application executed, October

19, 1832, then a resident of Buckskin Township, Ross County, Ohio, where he had lived about thirty years.
The soldier, Joseph Waugh, married January 18, 1792 in the state of Pennsylvania, Mary Hopkins; she was born December 29, 1773, place not stated, nor are the names of her parents given.
He died January 12, 1850. His widow, Mary Waugh, was allowed pension on her application executed, September 26, 1850, then living in Ross County, Ohio. She was living in 1855 near Stanton, Fayette County, Ohio.

BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims, of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of Joseph Waugh 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? Yes 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? 1/3  3  6  15 Nov  3 a few days before 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

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?
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?
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? No
Has the official character and signature of the magistrate been certified by the proper officer under his seal of office?
Yes
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?
Yes
XVI. ‡ Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct?
Yes to
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.
