Miss Daisy Walker Booneville Mississippi
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your request for information in regard to Andrew Walker, a Revolutionary War soldier from North Carolina.
The data furnished herein were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, S. 7830, based upon the military service of Andrew Walker.
He was born December 5, 1756, in County Antrim, Ireland, and moved to Charleston, South Carolina, when he was eleven years of age and after living in South Carolina for five years he moved to North Carolina.
While living in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, he enlisted and served at various times from 1775 until the close of 1780, amounting to about one year in all, as private with the North Carolina troops under Captains William Hagen, Robert Davies, McNight, and Colonels Ezekiel Polk, Thomas Polk, Robert Irwin and Adam Alexander, and was in the battle of Walkup's Mills. He enlisted in 1781 and served two months as quartermaster under General Davidson of North Carolina. He was commissioned captain in May, 1781, and served one year in Colonel Robert Irwin's North Carolina regiment.
He was allowed pension on his application executed November 8, 1832, while a resident of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
He died September 20, 1846, leaving a son, John, who was seventy-four years of age in 1855 and a resident of Union County, North Carolina.

In 1832 one John Walker was acting justice of peace in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and in that year one Thomas Walker testified in behalf of the soldier but it was not stated that they were related to the soldier. The papers in this claim contain no further discernible family data.
Very truly yours

Sir
Enclosed I send you for inspection a communication addressed to the Legal Representatives of Andrew Walker and. It is very strange that this gentleman should have been informed of the suspension of Walker's claim, before Walker himself or his attorney, for neither of us have had any intimation of the suspension of the claim - But this is not all, every case that I have filed before the department has been exposed in the same way, and I presume it is so in all the cases - Of course the Com. of Pensions is not cognizant of this violation of the rules of his Office - and I therefore take this occasion to inform him -
I have the honor to be very respectfully your Ob st Serv t

Annam Walker of North Carolina

BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims, of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of Amos Walker which require further proof or explanation.
I. Does the declaration show where the applicant resides? does II. Did the declarant make the declaration in the county where he resides? did III.

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? no VII. Has he made a relinquishment of every claim to any other pension than the one under the Act of June 7, 1832? has VIII. Has the Court given their opinion? Before a Justice who has given no opinion IX. Has the Clerk given his certificate? none 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? his

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
XII. If the clergyman's affidavit has not been produced, is there any reason assigned for not obtaining it?
No.
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

XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not so answered?

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.
