BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims , of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of Jacob Mallory which require further proof or explanation.
I. Does the declaration show where the applicant resides? II. Did the declarant make the declaration in the county where he resides? 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? 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? No VI. Has he given the names of the officers under whom he served, in conformity with the regulations? No VII. Has he made a relinquishment of every claim to any other pension than the one under the Act of June 7, 1832? VIII. Has the Court given their opinion? IX. Has the Clerk given his certificate? 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?

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?
XII. If the clergyman's affidavit has not been produced, is there any reason assigned for not obtaining it?
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?
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? No Has the official character and signature of the magistrate been certified by the proper officer under his seal of office?
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?
XVI. ‡ Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct?
XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not so answered? Six
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.

I Levi Potter aged 76 years of the Town of East Haven in New Haven County and State of Connecticut. Depose and say that, in the latter part of the month of March 1782 I enlisted as a Soldier in the State Service in the War of the revolution under the command of Captain John Warner and Lieut. Samuel Bird of New Haven. A company ordered to be raised by this State for the purpose of guarding the Coast in this and the adjoining Towns that I soon joined the company and was placed under the command of said Lieut. Samuel Bird and Stationed at the Fort then called Black Rock Fort situated on the east side of New Haven Harbour and continued in said company on duty until the fore part of April 1783 when my term of one year having expired I with several others whose term of service had expired were marched under the command of said Lieut. Samuel Bird near the middle of this Town a distance of about two miles from the Fort and were there dismissed from any further service. And I am well knowing that Jacob Mallory of this Town was an enlisted Soldier in said company and Stationed at said Fort. The exact time that he enlisted I cannot be certain but according to my best recollection and belief he entered the company about the time that I did and continued in service at said Fort and was discharged at the time that I was. I would further testify that I have been acquainted with the said Jacob Mallory from a Youth and am knowing that at the time he entered said company was a large young man and as capable of performing the duties of a Soldier as most of the company were.

Samuel Bird of New Haven - joined the company at the time and was placed under the command of Lieut. Samuel Bird and stationed at Black Rock Fort (then called) on the east side of New Haven harbour - And continued in service in said company until the early part of April 1783 a term of one year - my time of service having expired and several others, we were marched under the command of said Lieut. Bird a distance of about two miles from the Fort, were paraded on the public ground in this Town and discharged from further service - As this company was raised by order of this State for the purpose of guarding the shore in this and the adjoining towns. said company was attached to no Regiment or Division and no higher grade of officers known than the Captain.
Although I was a few days short of sixteen years when I enlisted in this last enlistment but as I should soon be called into the militia of this State and be constantly liable to drafts - it was thought advisable by my friends, that I should enlist where I might remain stationary for some time and not be subjected to repeated drafts -
For which service of one year I claim a Pension - I entered the service by voluntary enlistment in this Town where I was born and where I now reside - I have no documentary evidence of my service - not having received a written discharge and must rely on the Testimony accompanying this Declaration.
