In answer to the several interrogatories proposed by the court the declarant answers.
That he was born in Windsor in the County of Hartford in Connecticut on the 28 th of February A.D. 1757 - and has the record of his age in Windsor Town Books He lived in said Windsor when called into service and has ever since resided there.
He entered the service by enlistment as a private and served not less than one whole year. I recollect in said service the commanders in Chief Genl. Washington, Genl. Putnam Col. Chester and many others. I never read any written discharge nor any commission having served the whole of my term being one year as a private soldier.
The Rev. Henry A. Rowland & Eliezer Dutton are persons to whom he is known in his present neighborhood and who can testify as to his character for veracity and their belief of his service as a soldier in the revolution -

Sir I return the papers of Loomis Warner which have again been before the Court of Probate, & the additional certificates required have, as I suppose, been made. I hope they will be found sufficient. I informed the Judge of Probate of the objection made by the department to his amending the declaration of Jonathan Alcott. He informed me that he had previously corrected the enrolment declaration of Loomis Warner by inserting in his own hand writing the words "in open Court" as he saw no other way of correcting the mistake -

J. L. Edwards Esq. Sir
Hartford September 16 th 1846
I would respectfully represent that on the 3 d of April last I forwarded to you the application of Eunice Warner Widow of Loomis Warner for a Pension. I had the pleasure of seeing you on the 18 th & 20 July but the papers being mislaid I was unable to arrange the matter while in Washington - I have just returned from Virginia & Ohio. I find your letter to Hon. Jas. Dixon of July 25. stating proof of husband's service was satisfactory - but that the date of the alleged marriage should be proved by best evidence as records of Town or Church - There are no marriages recorded in our Town Records of Hartford between 1780 & 1800 and the Church Records of the South Church where Mrs. Warner was married have been lost many years. I herewith send you the Clerks Affidavit as well as the affidavit of two persons who knew Mr. & Mrs. Warner before 1792 Mr. Gideon Welles knows some of these facts & has permitted me to refer to him - There was in the papers originally sent the Deposition of Mrs. Paddock who was present at the marriage & the Court found the facts as alleged - I should hope therefore as Mrs. Warner is so old & as so many have been obtained by proofs made in the Probate Court which with us is a Court of Record - that you could send Mrs. Warner her Certificate. Yours respectfully Erastus Smith

BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims, of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of Loomis Warner which require further proof or explanation.
I. Does the declaration show where the applicant resides? II. Did the declarant make the declaration in the county where he resides? It does not appear to have been made in open court 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? 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? VI. Has he given the names of the officers under whom he served, in conformity with the regulations? VII. Has he made a relinquishment of every claim to any other pension than the one under the Act of June 7, 1832? VIII. Has the Court given their opinion? IX. Has the Clerk given his certificate? 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?

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?
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?
Has the official character and signature of the magistrate been certified by the proper officer under his seal of office?
no
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?
none
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.
