and heard them. And when I had seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. 16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches, I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not, for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still; and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
12 And behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
20 He which testifieth these things, saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

(a) The whole of the form prescribed in the first section, to verify the amount of property of the applicant, the oath of the party, and the certificate of the clerk excepted, must be done while the court is in session.
(b) All are courts of record, within the contemplation of the act of Congress,
1st. Which are expressly made courts of record by the laws of the state which create them;

3d. Which proceed according to the course of the common law, with a jurisdiction unlimited in point of amount, keeping a record of their proceedings.
4th. Which have the power of fine and imprisonment;
And courts which proceed according to the course of the civil and canon law, having neither of those attributes, are not courts of record, although they may keep a registry of their proceedings, and possess a seal. The court should, in every instance, state, on the face of the proceedings, that it is a court of record, and state why it is such.—[ Opinion of the Attorney General of the United States. ]
(c) Here set forth the regiment, company, and line, or ship, corps, or vessel, and the date of the original declaration; and, if he has received a pension, the number of the pension certificate should be inserted.

The declarant must also mention his occupation, his ability to pursue it, the number and names of his family residing with him, their ages, and their capacity to contribute to their support, in order that the department may be enabled to decide whether the applicant is in such indigent circumstances as to be entitled to the pension. It is the opinion of the Attorney General, that the words of the third section of the act of the 1st of May, 1820, "in such indigent circumstances as to be unable to support himself without the assistance of his country," comprehend those only who are incapable of supporting themselves without the aid of the government, except by private or public charity.

Thomas McCarty-W.8434
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
BA-J/EHL am
Mrs. Carrie M. Hazlett 59 White Place Bloomington, Illinois
Dear Madam:
The data furnished herein are obtained from the papers on file in the Revolutionary War claim for pension, W.8434, based upon the military service of Thomas McCarty in that war.
Thomas McCarty enlisted at Pittsburgh, in March, 1776, served as sergeant and quartermaster sergeant in Captain William Groghan's Company, Colonel Muhlenberg's Virginia Regiment and in Colonel Read's Virginia Regiment, was in the battles of Trenton, Princeton, Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth and "Drakes Farm" and in a skirmish at Morristown; he resigned in August, 1778, at which time he was a commissary. He stated that he had his arm and shoulder broken and his hip dislocated while in the service.
He was allowed pension on his application executed July 17, 1818, while residing in Henry (later Oldham) County, Kentucky, where he had then resided for seven or eight years, and previous thereto in Jefferson County, Indiana. In 1821, he was aged eighty-four years.
He died November 15 or November 28, 1822 or November 16, 1823 (all of these dates appear in the claim) in Henry County, Kentucky. The date and place of his birth are not stated.
The soldier married in November, 1773, or September 1, 1774, in the Monongahela District, in Pennsylvania, Anna (the name also appears as Ann and Anne) Scott.
Soldier's widow, Ann, was allowed pension on her application executed January 9, 1838, at which time she was aged eighty-two years and resided in Washington County, Indiana. In 1841, she was residing in Oldham County, Kentucky.

The following appears on the family record.
The first child born December 8, 1775, died in February The second child " September 2, 1778, died September 19, 1778. The third child dead " " 2, 1778. No names are given for three children cited above, The fourth child, William born February 8, 1780. The fifth child, Sarah " May 9, 1782, married Thomas Anderson. The sixth child, Anne " March 27, 1784. The seventh child, Mary " November 10, 1786. The eighth child, Margetet " " 14, 1788. The ninth child, Nicholas " October 22, 1791, in 1838, living in Washington County, Indiana.
Evi Anderson, daughter of Sally Anderson and granddaughter of Thomas McCarty, the soldier, was living in Oldham County, Kentucky, in 1842, and then stated that the family Bible of Thomas McCarty "has remained in the possession of the family of deponent's mother, Sally Anderson, since the death of said Thomas McCarty." In 1854, Evi Anderson was residing at Kelly's Landing, Kentucky.
One Thomas Anderson made affidavit in Oldham County, Kentucky, in 1842, that he had known of a family Bible for twenty years and that said Bible "was in the possession of the family of his mother" but did not give his mother's name. No relationship of said Thomas Anderson to the soldier and his widow is shown. One John Anderson resided in Washington County, Indiana, in 1838, no relationship to the family shown.
The foregoing is the history of the only soldier named Thomas McCarty, who served with the Virginia Troops, found on the Revolutionary War records of this office.
Very truly yours

Red Wing Landing, Minn. June 1st 1884. Dear Sir,
Some time since last through Mr Wm Olafson, I addressed a few lines to Hon J. C. Breckinridge asking him to examine the pension papers of Thos M c Carthy (My Grand Father) who served in the Revolutionary War, as an Orderly Sgt. Mr B. replied that he could give no information unless he had the name of the Regiment, and officers under whom Thos M c Carthy served. This I am unable to give, however, Geo. Armstrong sometime between 1840. and 43. procured the back dues to the widow Ann M c Carthy to the amount of some $1300. She died soon after. I now wish to know whether Thos M c Carthy is entitled to bounty land and if so, how much etc. If you will examine and give me any information relative to it, I shall be much obliged, and will compensate you for the same. Yours Truly. J. N. V. (also well.) Eri Anderson

P.S. Mr. Brockenridge stated that he would with pleasure, give any aid provided he could send the Redjacket craft, etc. as stated. This being the case you might refer to him for E. H.

Sir
Enclosed please find further evidence in support of the claim of Mrs Anna McCarty to a pension under the act of congress of July 4 th 1836 which I hope will prove satisfactory - and sufficient -
From the very high standing in society of Messrs Blane W. Ballard & James Ballard as the witnesses whose evidence has heretofore been forwarded to the department, I am a believe there could no doubt have remained of the certainty of Mrs McCarty being the widow of Thos. McCarty, the character of these witnesses being a part of the history of Kentucky.
The representative to the House of Representatives of the U.S. from this district, James C. Sprigg is acquainted with the Messrs Ballard. and to him I refer, for their standing in society -

Dear Department Pension office
The commissioner of Pensions Washington City D.C.

West Port Ky. Nov. 25 th 1841
Sir
Enclosed I send you evidence supporting the claim to a pension under the act of July 4 th 1836, of the widow of a most worthy, departed Hero of the revolution. Although her claim is not supported by documentary evidence, the oral testimony coming from such a high source as it does, cannot be doubted.
The present applicant is very old & infirm, and has ever since under the passage of the act of 1836 until lately resided with a grand daughter, an obscure widow, and had no opportunity of receiving information of the benevolent provision thus extended to her by her country - Hence the delay on her part in making the application.
M rs McCarthy the present applicant, is in extreme indigence - entirely dependent on some of her grandchildren for support. It is therefore hoped her case will be examined into with as much expedition as the business of the department will permit - It is also hoped her allowance will be as ample as the several acts of congress, or any of them, will justify.
If any defect or informality be found in the papers here forwarded, you will please advise me, and the defect will be immediately, if practicable, supplied.
Your ob t Serv t
