REGULATIONS UNDER THE ACT OF JUNE 7, 1832.
The following regulations have been adopted:
This law has been construed to extend, as well to the line, as to every branch of the Staff of the Army, and to include under the terms "Continental Line," "State troops," "militia," and "volunteers," all persons enlisted, drafted, or who volunteered and who were bound to military service, but not those who were occasionally employed with the army upon civil contracts, such as Clerks to Commissaries and to Store Keepers, &c., Teamsters, Boatmen, &c. Persons who served on board of private armed vessels are also excluded from the benefits of the law, as well as persons who turned out as patrols, or were engaged in guarding particular places at night, and were not recognized as being in actual military service.
Four general classes of cases are embraced in this law:
 1. The Regular Troops.  2. The State Troops, Militia, and Volunteers.  3. Persons employed in the Naval Service.  4. Indian Spies. 
As rolls of the regular troops in the Revolutionary War exist in this Department, all persons claiming the benefit of this law as officers, non-commissioned officers, musicians or privates, will, in the first instance, make application by transmitting the following declaration, which will be made before a Court of Record of the County where such applicant resides. And every Court having by law a seal and Clerk is considered a Court of Record.
DECLARATION,
In order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress of the 7th of June, 1832.
State, Territory, or District of } ss. County of }
On this day of personally appeared (a) before A. B. a resident (b) of in the county of and State, Territory or District of aged (c) 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 provision made by the act of Congress, passed June 7th, 1832. That he enlisted in the Army of the United States in the year (d), with and served in the (e) regiment of the line, under the following named officers:
[Here set forth the names and rank of the Field and Company Officers; the time he left the service; (and if he served under more than one term of enlistment, he must specify the particular period, and rank and names of his officers;) the town or county and State in which he resided when he entered the service; the battles, if any, in which he was engaged, and the country through which he marched. This form is to be varied so as to apply to the cases of officers and persons who belonged to the militia, volunteers, navy, &c.]
He hereby relinquishes every claim (f) whatever to a pension or an annuity, except the present, and he declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of any Agency in any State, or (if any) only on that of the Agency in the State of
Sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid.
A. B.
[And then will follow the certificate of the Court.]
And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion (g) that the above named applicant was a revolutionary soldier, and served as he states.
I of the Court of do hereby certify (h) that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said Court in the matter of the application of for a pension.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office (i) this day of &c.
If, on examination of the proper record, the names of applicants, making such declaration, cannot be found, they will produce such proof as the rule given in note (j) points out
Every applicant who claims a pension by virtue of service in the State Troops, Volunteers or Militia, except those who belonged to the New Hampshire Militia and State Troops of Virginia, will make and subscribe a declaration similar to the foregoing, with the following additions, viz:
(k) We, A. B., a Clergyman, residing in the and C. D. residing in (the same) hereby certify, that we are well acquainted with , who has subscribed and sworn to the above declaration; that we believe him to be years of age; that he is reputed and believed, in the neighborhood where he resides, to have been a soldier of the Revolution, and that we concur in that opinion.
Sworn and subscribed the days and year aforesaid.
[And then will follow the certificate of the Court.]
And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion, after the investigation of the matter, and after putting the interrogatories prescribed by the War Department, that the above named applicant was a Revolutionary Soldier, and served as he states. And the Court further certifies, that it appears to them that A. B. who has signed the preceding certificate is a clergyman, resident in the and that C. D., who has also signed the same is a resident in the and is a credible person, and that their statement is entitled to credit.
I, Clerk of the Court of do hereby certify that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said Court, in the matter of the application of for a pension.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office, this day of &c.
Every applicant will produce the best proof in his power. This is the original discharge or commission; but if neither of these can be obtained, the party will so state under oath, and will then procure, if possible, the testimony of at least one credible witness, stating in detail his personal knowledge of the services of the applicant, and such circumstances connected therewith, as may have a tendency to throw light upon the transaction.
If such surviving witness cannot be found, the applicant will so state in his declaration, (l) and he will also, whether he produce such evidence or not, proceed to relate all the material facts, which can be useful in the investigation of his claim, and in the comparison of his narrative with the events of the period of his

alleged service, as they are known at the Department. A very full account of the services of each person will be indispensable to a favorable action upon his case. The facts stated will afford one of the principal means of corroborating the declaration of the applicant, if true, or of detecting the imposition, if one be attempted; and unless, therefore, these are amply and clearly set forth, no favorable decision can be expected. All applicants will appear before some Court of Record in the County in which they reside, and there subscribe and be sworn to, one of the declarations above provided, according to the nature of his case.
The Court will propound the following (m) interrogatories to all applicants for a pension, on account of service in the Militia, State troops, or Volunteers, except the Militia of New Hampshire and the State troops of Virginia.
 1. Where and in what year were you born?  2. Have you any record of your age, and if so, where is it?  3. Where were you living when called into service; where have you lived since the Revolutionary war, and where do you now live?  4. How were you called into service; were you drafted, did you volunteer, or were you a substitute? And if a substitute, for whom?  5. State the names of some of the Regular Officers, who were with the troops, where you served; such Continental and Militia Regiments as you can recollect, and the general circumstances of your services.  6. { To a Soldier. { Did you ever receive a discharge from the service, and if so, by whom was it given, and what has become of it? { To an Officer. { Did you ever receive a commission, and if so, by whom was it signed, and what has become of it?  7. State the names of persons to whom you are known in your present neighborhood, and who can testify as to your character for veracity, and their belief of your services as a soldier of the Revolution. 
The Court will see that the answers to these questions are embodied in the declaration, and they are requested to annex their opinions of the truth of the statement of the applicant.
The applicant will further produce in Court, if the same can be done, in the opinion of the Court, without too much expense and inconvenience to him, two respectable persons—one of whom should be the nearest clergyman, if one lives in the immediate vicinity of such applicant, who can testify, from their acquaintance with him, that they believe he is of the age he represents, and that he is reputed and believed in the neighborhood to have been a Revolutionary soldier, and that they concur in that opinion. If one of these persons is a Clergyman, the Court will so certify, and they will also certify to the character and standing of other persons giving such certificates.
The traditional evidence of service is deemed very important, in the absence of any direct proof, except the declaration of the party. And the Courts are requested to be very particular in the enquiry whether the belief is general, and whether any doubts have ever existed upon the subject.
Applicants unable to appear in Court, by reason of bodily infirmity, may make the declaration before required, and submit to the examination, before a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record of the proper county, and the Judge or Justice will execute the duties, which the Court is herein requested to perform, and will also certify that the applicant cannot, from bodily infirmity, attend the Court.
Whenever any official act is required to be done by a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record, or by a Justice of the Peace, the certificate of the Secretary of State or Territory, or of the proper Clerk of the Court or County, under his seal of office, will be annexed, stating that such person is a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record, or a Justice of the Peace, and that the signature annexed is his genuine signature.
No payments can be made on account of the services of any person, who may have died before the taking effect of the act of June 7, 1832; and in case of death subsequent thereto, and before the declaration herein required is made, the parties interested will transmit such evidence as they can procure, taken and authenticated before a Court of Record, showing the services of the deceased, the period of his death, the opinion of the neighborhood respecting such services, the title of the claimant, and the opinion of the Court upon the whole matter.
[a] The declarant must appear in open Court, unless prevented from doing so by reason of bodily infirmity; in which case the declarant will follow the rule laid down for his guidance.
[b] The declarant must make his declaration in the county where he resides. If he should fail to do so, he must assign a sufficient reason for not conforming to the rule.
[c] The age of the claimant must invariably be mentioned.
[d] The declarant must mention the period or periods of the war when he served.
[e] Every continental officer or soldier must give the name of the Colonel under whom he served; otherwise a satisfactory examination of the claim cannot be had. Every claimant must state, 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. 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 each 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. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state that they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours, the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must, in every case, be clearly shown under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.
[f] The law makes the relinquishment indispensable.
[g] The opinion of the Court is always required.
[h] The Clerk must give his certificate in every case.
[i] The Clerk must affix his seal, and if it has no device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal, or if he has no public seal of office, the certificate of a Member of Congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.
Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other papers authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow 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.
Proof of Service.
[j] 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 claimant's 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.
[k] The notes from [a] to [i] are all equally applicable to the cases of Militia men, Volunteers and State Troops. The proof required by rule in note [j] applies to continental troops only.
[l] This traditional evidence is indispensable in militia cases.
[m] If a witness cannot be found, the declarant must state the fact.
[n] The answers to the interrogatories must all be written, and sent to the War Department, with the declaration.

Grace Warner Declaration & Application for a Pension,
S.S. Oct 26 th 1841

I Grace Warner of Southborough in the County of Worcester & Commonwealth of Massachusetts, will now declare that I was born in Boston on the thirty first day of December in the year seventeen hundred & fifty eight. On the last Sabbath in August, in the year seventeen hundred, and seventy nine, I was married to Daniel  the Warner of Boston by the Reverend Eboner Wight, who was then a settled minister of the Gospel in Boston, at the Church, which was then the most southerly in Boston. I am informed that the Reverend John Pierpont is now the Pastor of the same Church. Our intentions of Marriage were published in Boston in the usual manner, as required by law. I did not belong to Mr. Wights Society, but went to his house to be mar- -ried, because my friends were opposed to the match. It was for that reason that none of them were pre- -sent at the wedding. There is no one living, within my knowledge, who was at the wedding; & I have not been able to find any record of the marriage either on the Church records of Mr. Wight, or in the town re- cords of Boston, though I have directed search to be made. I continued to live with said Daniel Warner as his wife, till he died, which was on the thirteenth day of December last past. I am still his widow & unmarried. We lived together in Boston about twenty years, where our only child Daniel was born on the thirtieth day of April in the year seventeen hundred & eighty. We afterwards lived together in Weston, Stow, & Walthe- -ham, all in Middlesex County, & finally in said Southborough. My said Husband was served in the Revolutionary war

both before & after said marriage, as will appear by his pension papers on file, & to which I refer for the proof of his services. His pension certificate, dated is supposed to be on file in the pension department at Washington & I have September 14. 1833, is annexed hereto, together with such other evidence as I have been able to obtain to prove my title to a pension as the widow of my said husband — and I respectfully ask that the same may be granted.

Rev. John Pierpont's Affidavit

I John Pierpont, a settled Minister of the Hollis Street Society, in the City of Boston, testify that I have held that Office for the last twenty two years. I have in my possession the records of that the Church connected with that Society from which it appears that the Rev. Ebenezer Wight was its Pastor from February December 1778. to September October 1788. There is nothing in said Records showing that the said Eben r . Wight ever joined any persons in marriage. The said Ebenezer Wight died many years ago; and I know no one, of his family, who was born as long ago as 1780.

They lived together as man and wife from my earliest remembrance till his death, and I never heard it doubted that they were lawfully married. Their son Daniel was my father; he died, as I have always been told about three months before I was born; my mother died when I was five years of age, & from that time till I was nineteen, I lived with my said grand parents. They had removed from Boston to Weston, in Middlesex County when I first lived with them. In about seven years after, they removed to Hox in the same County, & remained there as about ten years. They then removed to Waltham in the same County, and remained there about three years. They then removed to said Southborough where my said grandmother still lives a widow. I have now before me the Pension certificate of my said grandfather, dated September 14 1833. — ; , and I have often carried him to the cars when he said he was going to Boston to get his pension. I have no more doubt that my said grandparents were married, than I have of any other fact of which I was not an eye witness.

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War pension record of Daniel Warner, son of Nathaniel, who was born in 1755, married in Boston, Massachusetts, Grace Waters, was drowned in December, 1840, and buried at Southboro, Massachusetts.
The data which follow are obtained from the papers on file in Revolutionary War pension claim, W.15453, based upon the military service in that war of Daniel Warner.
Daniel Warner, the son of Nathaniel, was born September 30, 1759, in Boston, Massachusetts. The name of his mother is not shown. His father was living in 1807.
Daniel Warner volunteered at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in June, 1775, served as a private in Captain Arnold's New Hampshire Company, marched to Ticonderoga and was stationed at Mount Independence; length of service, six or eight months: he returned to his home in Boston, and enlisted there about June 1, 1776, served as gunner and corporal in Captains Balch's and Ingersoll's Companies, Colonel Crafts Massachusetts Regiment; it was stated that he served, also, during this period under Colonel Revere, marched to Paulus Hook, then returned to Boston and was stationed at The Castle in Boston Harbor and at Nantucket; length of this service, fifteen months: in May or June, 1779, he went on board the brig "Tyrannicida", Captain Cathcart, and served as sergeant of marines for one month: he enlisted at Boston, in the summer of 1780, and served three months as first sergeant in Captain Bird's Company, Colonel Thayer's Massachusetts Regiment, was placed in command of two redoubts one and one-half miles below West Point, received a reinforcement of two hundred men when Arnold deserted and was retained on the station at the special request of Colonel Lamb.
Sol. stated he was in Col. Poole's Regt but I did not use as at this time Poole was Col. of a line Regt & Vt. Troops shows not under Capt. Arnold & Col. Hingate in the mil. at this time.
Could not find this sea service in mass S & L. nor the ship in navy board

After the war, Daniel Warner lived in Boston for twenty years, then moved to Weston, in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, and after living there about seven years, moved to Stow in same county and lived for ten years, then moved to Waltham, same county and lived about three years, then moved to Southborough, Worcester County, Massachusetts.
Daniel Warner was allowed pension on his application executed April 26, 1833, while residing in Boston, Massachusetts.
He died December 13, 1840. The place where he died and manner of his death are not shown.
The soldier married on the last Sunday in August, 1779, in Boston, Massachusetts, Grace Waters, of said Boston, who was born December 31, 1758.
Soldier's widow, Grace, was allowed pension on her application executed April 18, 1842, while residing in Southborough, Massachusetts.
The widow stated that they had only one child, a son, Daniel, born April 30, 1780, in Boston, Massachusetts.
In 1841, Daniel Warner, of Southborough, Massachusetts, stated that he was a grandson of the soldier, Daniel Warner and his wife, Grace; that he was aged thirty-five years on June 4, 1841, and that his father died three months before his birth and his mother, whose name he did not give, when he was five years old after which he lived with his grandparents, Daniel Warner and wife until he was nineteen years of age.

I am very respectfully Yours

I Grace Warner of Southborough (Mass.) The widow of Daniel Warner late of said Southborough deceased, whose Petition has lately been for a pension has lately been presented & filed at Washington, further declare & testify that at the time of my marriage to said Daniel Warner, as stated in said Petition he was in the service of the United States at Boston, being an orderly sergeant in a company of Artillery. I do not remember the name of the Captain, but am very confident that Col. Revere commanded the Regiment. He continued in that station, but a short time  for a  time after our marriage; I cannot state the exact time, it might not be more than a month. Sometime in the Autumn of the same year (1779) my said husband went into the service of the United States, as a sergeant of the marines, on board of a privateer called the Tyronicide, commanded by Capt. Gatheart or some such name; his engagement was for the term of Three months, but the vessel returned to Boston with one or more prizes before the expiration of the term. From that time he remained at home in Boston, till sometime in the next summer, I think till July, when he again went into the service of the United States & went to west point as sergeant of a company of Infantry. I do not remember the names of the officers. his enlistment was for Three months. I had several letters from him during the term, which have not been preserved. At the expiration of the term he returned to Boston, & did not go into the service afterwards - It was during this last term that Major Andre was executed - He said to my husband often talked about the circumstances after his return.
Our child was born in April 1780. My husband was then at home; & I know that it was after his service in the privateer & before his enlistment to go to West Point. I know of no person living that can testify to any of the above facts - I procured all Grace Warner the evidence I could obtain, when I forwarded my petition to Washington, & sent it therewith

I Grace Warner of Southborough, in the County of Worcester, and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, eighty eight years of age, depose and say, that I have good reason to believe that I do not receive the full amount of pension which I should for the services of my late husband Daniel Warner in the war of the Revolution, and I request the Secretary of this Commonwealth to examine the Rolls and Documents for proof of the services of the said Daniel Warner. According to my best recollection he first engaged from Portsmouth in the State of New Hampshire for nine month and went to Ticonderoga, and when his time of service expired he returned to Boston his native Town, and in the last of 1776 or the first of 1777 he enlisted for three years and joined the Artillery around Boston harbor and served as a Matross and Gunner in Col. Crafts or Col. Rayner's Artillery until he was discharged, soon after which we were married, and in the last part of 1779 or the first part of 1780, he engaged in the United States naval service in the Ship Tyrannicide, was serjeant of marines for near three months, and in July 1780 he engaged in the Continental service and served near three months as serjeant of Infantry, the names of his Officers I do not recollect, he was at Westpoint at the time Gen. Arnold turned traitor, and at the time Maj Andre was executed, at which time I was residing in Boston. Grace Warner
