NOTES.
The declaration to be executed before a Justice of the Peace, or other officer authorized to administer oaths for general purposes. In the blank in the declaration the claimant must set forth according to the best of her knowledge or belief, the name and rank of the person on account of whose service the claim is presented; the day, month, and year, (if possible,) when he entered the service, and the time when he left the same; and, if under more than one engagement, the claimant must specify the particular periods; and the rank and name of the officers under whom the service was performed; the town or county, and State in which he resided when he entered the service; whether he was drafted, was a volunteer, or substitute; the battles, if any, in which he was engaged; the country through which he marched, with such further particulars as may be useful in the investigation of the claim; and also, produce the best proof of the nature of the case will allow, as to the service of the deceased officer or soldier, and the time when he died. It must be clearly shown in what troop or company, and regiment or corps, he served, and the grade he held. Proof as to service must be had, either from the records of the War Department, the muster rolls, the testimony of commissioned officers, or the affidavits of persons of known respectability.  If the fact be so that the claimant has no documentary evidence in support of the claim, set forth such facts in the declaration. But if the soldier was a pensioner then simply describe him by giving the amount of pension he drew, the place of his residence, and the agency at which his pension was paid, instead of a description of his service.  This declaration must be accompanied by satisfactory proof of the marriage, of the husband's death, and the present widowhood of the claimant. If there be a public record of the marriage, a duly certified copy of it should be forwarded, if possible. If there be none but a private or family record, such family record, or a certified copy of the same, should be forwarded, with the affidavit of some disinterested person proving the genuineness of the original and the correctness of the copy. If no public or private record of the marriage exist, or can be procured, that fact should be set forth in the declaration, after giving her maiden name; and in such case, other evidence—such as the testimony of persons who knew the parties in the lifetime of the husband, and knew them to cohabit as husband and wife, and to be so reputed—will be admissible.  In no case, however, will the mere statement of witnesses that the claimant is the widow of the deceased be taken as evidence of the marriage, but the witnesses must state facts and circumstances from which they derive their knowledge or opinion that she is the widow of the deceased.  If the claimant draws a pension under any act, instead of proving her marriage again simply set forth the fact in her declaration, and refer to said papers for proof of her husband's service and her marriage.  The affidavit of two witnesses must be taken to establish the identity of the claimant.

It is advisable, that additional evidence of the marriage of Anna & Valentine F. Lemper, be filed.
The statement you make in relation to the affidavit you have prepared for Jonathan Osterhout, had better be presented in the form of an affidavit, & you should allege, that it embodies the facts as communicated to you in person by Osterhout.
The family record of marriage, if any, should be sent to this office. If there is no such record, let proof be filed, that the parties raised a family of children.

Revolutionary claim for Bounty land act. S. Sawyer 2 nd March 1858 Anna Sawyer wd of Peterboro
In conformity to written directions received at one of the Beaveroes in your office in March last. (which is herewith returned) I obtained the Documents at Albany & afterwards called upon the only person living of the Revolutionary times in the vicinity of the applicant. He being in his 98 th year & resided in the town of Saugerties Ulster County who knew all the persons who are named as officers of the Militia under whom the claimants husband is alledged to have served & offered to make an affidavit of that fact.
A short time afterwards I prepared & sent an affidavit to a Justice of the Peace who resides in the same neighborhood. when behold to my utter disappointment the old man had died a few days previous, & I know of no person living who has a personal knowledge of that event. — And in order to show you the character of the affidavit I have inclosed it herewith.
And in conclusion I would say that I am now near 70 years of age & untill 1844 always resided in the town of Saugerties Ulster County in the immediate neighborhood of the persons who are represented in the Certificate, from Albany knew them all personally & that they were reputed to have been officers in the Revolutionary war. And since 1832 I have obtained several pensions for soldiers of the Revolution & their widows whose services were performed under the same officers, I was also personally acquainted with claimant

and her husband & reputed to have been a Soldier in the Revolution, and that is not satisfactory I will make an affidavit certifying those facts, but would not be willing to say I was not interested in the application of Anna, widow of Valentine St Grenier deceased for bounty land under act 3 March 1855, number 222665 , & should the Department require an additional affidavit it would only be a corroboration of facts already stated. Whatever may be your decision you will respond to me & oblige
