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.

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) _____, who has 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 [j] 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.

Sir:
I advise you that from the records of this bureau it appears that William Warrington enlisted in Accomac County, Virginia in December, 1775, or January, 1776, and served until March, 1777, as private in Captain Snead's Company in Colonel Matthews' Virginia Regiment.
In March, 1777, he was made a member of General Washington's Life Guard, serving as a sergeant under Captain Livingston and he was discharged in February, 1778.
He was allowed pension on his application executed March 11, 1833, at which time he was seventy-eight years of age and was living in Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio.
He married February 4, 1836, in Hamilton County, Ohio, Nancy Littell, who was the widow of Samuel Littell. Her maiden name was Nancy Pryer. She married Samuel Littell in Hamilton County, Ohio July 23, 1809. He died in that county April 13, 1820.
William Warrington died May 25, 1851 in Delaware County, Ohio.

His widow, Nancy, was allowed pension on her application executed April 9, 1853, at which time she was sixty-two years of age and was living in Scioto Township, Delaware County, Ohio.
Their only child, Charlotte Jane Warrington, born December 31, 1836, married Albert Turner and she was living in Rapid City, South Dakota in 1914.
The above mentioned Samuel Littell enlisted at Cincinnati, Ohio and served as a second sergeant in Captain Sloane's Company of Ohio Militia from April 23, 1812 until September 30, 1812.
On account of the service of Samuel Littell in War of 1812 Nancy Warrington was allowed bounty land in full satisfaction.
The Revolutionary War records of this bureau fail to afford any information in regard to John Hutchins or Hutchings as described by you.

Sir:-
In compliance with a request on the part of Hon. George M. Curtis, I have the honor to advise you that William Warrington made an application for pension on March 11, 1833, at which time he was 78 years of age and residing at Cincinnati, Ohio.
He enlisted in Accomac County, Virginia, about the first of January, 1776, for a period of two years as a private in Capt. Snead's company of the 9th Virginia Regiment, commanded by Col. Matthews, and was stationed at Anancock Town, in the County of Accomac, until December 1776, when his company joined the army at Morristown, N. J. From there he proceeded to Newark and was stationed with his company at that place until March, 1777, when he was selected to become one of General Washington's Life Guards and returned to Morristown, the headquarters, and served in the guard, then commanded by Capt. Livingston, as sergeant. In May, 1777, marched to Middlebrook, thence to Quibbletown, and from there to Brandywine, where he remained until after the battle at that place, and then went to Bethlehem, where he passed the winter of 1777-78, and at which place he was discharged sometime in the month of February, 1778.

He married Nancy Little February 4, 1836, and died May 26, 1851. He lived in Accomac County until 1815, when he removed to Maysville, Kentucky, where he resided eleven years, and then moved to Cincinnati, Ohio.

Wm The Commr of Pensions - Sir,
In the case of Charlotte J. Turner (Minor Child of W m Harrington dec d of the Revolution) on 1 st Instant you rejected her claim for the reason that "his widow is alive and drawing a pension" -
In the application on part of the Minor, you will perceive that the widow explains her reasons for not applying, viz. that she received a warrant for her first  Husband's services and had made application for the additional one - she has received Warrant No. 17395 (act 1855) and No. 36738 (act 1850) of 80 acres each for the services of her 1 st Husband Samuel Little who served in the war of 1812. Such of course bars her from receiving for Harrington's services.
If I mistake not I saw an opinion of Yours published substantially as follows - viz. that where both

both Husband and of a Widow served a term sufficient to entitle each of them to a Warrant, the Widow might elect to take for either, and the minor Children of the non-elected one might receive also =
If I quote correctly, this Case would appear to me to come within the terms of the opinion - Both of Mr. Warrington's husbands served, one in the Revolution, the other in the War of 1812 - She took for the services of the latter, and applied on part of the minor child of the latter former, thus relinquishing whatever Right she might have -
I prepared the Case after reading the opinion alluded to, and it has struck me that perhaps in the hurry of business you may have escaped noticing the peculiar character of it -
Will you therefore give it another examination, and advise me of

of the Result -
very Best Yours At Servant Wm H Barry

Washington, Feb'y. 8. 1858.
Sir:
As Atty. for Charlotte J. Turner, minor child of W m Warrington, who was a Revolutionary Pensioner, I respectfully ask a reexamination of her Joint Claim (No. 216.535) under the Act of 1855, - rejected
William Warrington left a widow, Nancy Warrington, who was formerly the widow of a soldier of the war of 1812, named Saml Lettlo. Under the act of 1850, she received 80 acre Warrant No. 36,738, for 80 acres, and under the act of 1855, Warrant No. 17,395, for 80 acres - for the services of her first husband Lettlo . No warrant has been opened to any one on account of Warrington's Revolutionary services.
A letter from your office to Mr. St. Mary, dated May. 14. 1856, states that under the Act of 1855, no warrant can be opened to the minor child of a Revolutionary soldier, if he have a widow

living. I understand this is not the construction which has been given to the law in other cases. In a letter from the Pension Office to Wm B. Gray of April 1855, the rule is stated thus:
"In the case of a woman marrying twice & surviving both husbands, and both entitled to Bounty Land, she is only entitled to one bounty, but she may make her election under either husband. If there be minor children of the non-elected living, they are also entitled to land."
If this be the construction of the law, then the minor child of Waring-ton is entitled to a warrant for 160 acres.

Hon Lewis Cass, Secretary at War,
Sir,
Inclosed I
send you the Declaration of William Harrington , for the purpose of obtaining a Pension, under the act of grsp of June 7 th 1832— The Declaration I believe is duly authenticated— I need not say how anxious he is to hear from this application— In the month of Sep- -tember last year, I transmitted to the War-Office three applications for Pensions under the same act of grsp — Nothing has yet been heard from any of them— They are all old and needy— Their names are Ebenezer Rice , Harvey Nathanial Clarke , and Boss Christian name not recollects— Clarke has since died almost of starvation, & left a Widow nearly 80, who is supported by charity— And I think they are all in a fair way to follow Clarke, before they hear from the War Office— It would seem if any of the civil Business of the Govern- -ment, should meet with a speedy dispatch, it should be the claims of the small remnant of the Revolutionary Army—
Respectfully Yr Obt servt
