by her attorney to the Court records in proof of her death as it respects the paper now on file purporting to be a family record she avers is genuine and the only one except the one now in our family bible which one sent formerly was copied from; _____
The Register sent to the department was kept by her son that lived with them until his father's death to wit Johnathan Walker; and the Book he kept it in was a copy ciphering or account book; he has now moved away and she cannot procure the Book to send on; as she will have no chance to obtain it; but he swore it was genuine and every neighbour that ever knew him will give him the character of Virtue Honesty integrity and truth; and would testify to his good character and that he would have sworn nothing but what was truth; but as she will send on testimony to that effect without selecting any but take the most respectable as they can be had she is in hopes that not only herself but her sons character will be freed from any suspicion; and she will produce such other testimony as may be had to prove the facts of her Marriage; she will also prove by aged persons who know the facts of the births of her children the ages of them which will accompany this declaration. She does not now recollect who recorded the ages of her children now sent on  in the register but believes it was done by the direction of her husband

Edward Walker. Nor is she able to state how many years ago the register was made but that she knows it is genuine and correctly recorded; she would here explain a seeming error; about the register; the old small bible that the register now in our family bible and the one copied by her son and sent on was sent to her daughter in the State of Indiana; at the time the register now sent on was made which was as she believes written in her husband's own hand writing; and her son made the one sent on to the department heretofore at the same time; and as she knows that the ages and dates are right and the testimony to prove them so, she would here state that she would resort to no subterfuge to obtain her right, although she never should obtain it; She states as heretofore stated that her name was Jane Horne daughter of Frederick Horne of Hawkins County in the territory of North Carolina now Tennessee that she was married to her said husband Edward Walker by one Richard Murel a Baptist preacher about the first of of May in the year seventeen hundred and ninety and that her husband the aforesaid Edward Walker died on the twenty sixth day of August one thousand eight hundred and thirty eight that she was not married to him prior to his leaving the service but the marriage took place previous to the first day of of January seventeen hundred and ninety four at the time above stated sworn and subscribed on the day and year above written before me.

In reply to your enquiry as to the condition of the claim of Jane Walker of Tennessee. I have to inform you that the claim has not been admitted because the date of the marriage was not established, but more than five years having elapsed since the above proof was required and no attempt made to comply with the requisitions of the office, the claim will not now be re-opened.

The add d evidence in the case of Jane Walker claiming a pension under the Act of July 7 th 1838 has been examined and filed. You are referred to my letter of the 9 th Aug t '43 for what is necessary to be done in this case. The original book from which the leaves are said to have been taken should be produced. Two records have been sent both alleged to be genuine now it is difficult to imagine how such as they are not copies can be the case. To one of the Declarations the name of Mary Walker is arranged with a cross and to another that of Jane Walker  f they be originals

Sir,
The claim of Jane Walker, widow of Edward Walker, has been examined. Unless she can substantiate her claim under the act of July 7. 1838, by producing satisfactory proof as to the time when she was married, she cannot obtain a pension under the act of March 3. 1843. The paper sent here with her first declaration which purports to be a family record, wants the usual evidence of its genuineness. It is desirable that we should have the book from which the leaf was taken, and that evidence should be produced to show by whom and at what time the entries were made in the book. Unless satisfactory evidence on these points be produced, no favorable decision can be expected. A declaration under the act of July 7. 1838 is also wanted.

Sir,
The papers in the case of Mrs. Jane Walker & widow of Edward Walker, decd. have been examined and and filed. It would appear that her husband died 26 th August 1838. The act of 7 th July 1838, does not provide for any widow whose husband has died after the passage of that act. The claim has therefore been rejected and the papers filed in this office.

The addl evidence in the case of Jane Walker widow of Edward Walker has been examined and filed. On comparing the leaves heretofore sent, containing, as alleged, the family registers, both of which have been described as original, there is every appearance of their having been taken from the same book and it will require the clearest evidence to satisfy the Dept as to the date of the marriage. The above registers do not sufficiently bear the impress of antiquity to be rec d in proof of an event so long past but there sh d be no difficulty in obtaining the testimony of disinterested credible & intelligent witnesses who can swear to the existence of the relation of husband and wife at some specific period prior to 94.

BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims, of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of Edward Walker 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? 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? No 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? 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? one living witness in part
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? Yes
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? No
XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not so answered? 7 not 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.
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 of the Certifying Officer, should be sent with the Papers.

Gentlemen:
only rec. from Sun
Would it be possible for you to tell, or find out whether, one Edward Walker was in the Revolutionary War, from Tennessee. Or whether one settled in Tennessee soon after the Revolution. There are of course several Edward Walkers enlisted in the said war in Va., and as I understand it, there was no place for them to enlist in Tennessee at that date.
The Edward I refer to, is the one who lived in Sullivan County, which was later divided up into small counties, and it is thought that he settled where Hancock County or Hawkins now is. As his son enlisted in the 1812 war stating he was from from Hawkins Co., and enlisted at Blountville the county seat of Sullivan. Co., Tennessee. He owned land in these counties. Can you help me to find out if this Edward Walker was in the Revolution.
Yours very truly,

Dear Madam:
I advise you that photostatic copies of papers on file in the Revolutionary War claims for pension are furnished at the rate of fifteen cents a page.
The number of pages to be copied in the claims of Edward Walker and his widow Jane (R.11041) is thirty-four. If you desire to have the set certified allow twenty-five cents additional for the certificate.
The proper amount should be forwarded to this bureau by money order drawn to the order of the Secretary of the Interior.
The soldier's widow, Jane, was not allowed pension, hence the date of her death is not recorded.
Very truly yours,
EARL D. CHURCH Commissioner.

Dear Madam:
I advise you that this bureau is unable to furnish the history of a soldier of the Revolution unless a claim for pension or bounty land has been made on account of his service.
A careful search of the records fails to show such a claim on file on account of the service of Captain Edward Walker of the Virginia Troops. The bureau has no means of determining whether the other Edward Walker cited by you is of record as the pay received by him was not a settlement of this bureau.
If you will furnish as much as possible of the following data in regard to the Edward Walker in whom you are interested, a further search of the records will be made in your behalf: approximate dates of birth and death, place residence at enlistment and after service and given name of widow.
Please return all this correspondence with your reply.
Very truly yours,
EARL D. CHURCH, Commissioner.
