 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.

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 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 [blank] and that C. D., who has also signed the same is a resident in the [blank] 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, (1) 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 inquiry 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.
cho claim for service not specified in the manner howled our under Notice can be allowed?

BA-J/ILL John Steenbergh R. 10102
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of John (Johannes) Sternberg, variously spelled, who served from New York State, while very young.
The data which follow are found in the papers on file in pension claim, R. 10102, based upon service in the Revolutionary War of John Steenbergh.
His claim is here - John Steenbergh was born March 23, 1760 in Fishkill, Dutchess County, New York. His father, Elias Steenbergh, lived with his family in Half Moon, Albany County (later Saratoga County), New York, during the years of the Revolutionary War and served as a captain; the name of John's mother is not shown in this claim.
John Steenbergh lived in Half Moon, New York, during the period of the Revolutionary War, and continued to reside there until 1811, when he moved to Milton, Saratoga County, New York.
He applied August 28, 1833, while a resident of Milton, New York, for the pension which might have been due on account of his service in the Revolutionary War. He stated then that he enlisted in June 1776, the only sixteen years of age, as a private in Captain John Van den Bergh's company, Colonel Jacobus Schoonhoven's regiment of New York Militia, that he was called out in June 1777, and served one month and five days, that he served subsequently in 1778, 1779 and as late as 1782, on short tours on various alarms under said officers, amounting in all to more than one year, during which he was on scouting parties against the Tories near the northern border. His claim for pension was not allowed as he failed to furnish proof of service as required by the pension laws.
The soldier died January 26, 1834, in Milton, New York.
John Steenbergh married February 22, 1785, in Lansingburgh (later Rensselaerville), New York, Anna Margaret Demett, who resided then in

Half Moon, New York; the marriage was solemnized by the Minister of the Presbyterian Church of Lansingburgh, New York. John's sister, Betsey, went with them from Half Moon to Lansingburgh when they were married.
In 1842, the soldier's widow, was a resident of Milton, New York, aged seventy-five years; the names of her parents are not shown. Daniel Steenbergh, one of the children of John and Anna Margaret Steenbergh, resided in Milton, New York, in 1842, at which time he was aged thirty-six years; he resided there in 1850 also.
In 1842, Betsey, the sister of John Steenbergh referred to previously, was the wife of Henry Vanderwerker, of Half Moon, New York; she gave her age then as sixty-eight years.
In 1833, the soldier's brother, Jacobus Steenbergh, resided in Middle Town, the state not given.
Very truly yours,
A. D. MILLER, Executive Assistant to the Administrator.
This soldier died shortly after his application for pension. When the widow applied in 1842, the attorney alleged service as shown on Comptroller of New York Report - The claim was suspended then - she probably died -

Ballston Spa October 17 th 1842
J. L. Edwards Esquire Sir
Yours of the 6 th instant was rec d . in due course and I proceed to explain the part I have taken in making the applications of both John Steenburgh and his widow. Mr. Steenburgh was an old man turned (I think), of 70 years without any previous (personal) acquaintance with him I was called to his house to prepare his papers for an application for a Pension. I found him in feeble health but apparently having the use of his faculties as fully as a plain unlettered man of his age could be expected to have them, I took down his very statement just as he gave it without any other knowledge of his case whatever, and having no reason to doubt its correctness, from which statement I made out the papers presented in his case, but did not retain any copies thereof, but by searching I found among my papers a statement of his services taken down in tabular form, and herewith enclosed to you, marked A.
From the statement given by him I made out his papers and sent them to you - not urging his claim, but according to my recollection merely requesting you to examine & make returns to me. When after his death his widow applied to me to prepare papers for her, I had no other data, whatever but this same tabular statement and accordingly I drew up her papers from said statement, I had not examined the Books of the Comptroller in reference to Mr. Steenburgh's Steenburgh's services at all.
After her papers had been passed upon by the Court of Common Pleas of the County of Saratoga I caused a search to be made at the Comptroller's office with the hope of obtaining further evidence, one of my Neighbors Mr. E. L. Lee was going to Albany and I sent by him to obtain the examination. His affidavit I herewith enclose. By it you will perceive that the only directions I gave him in relation to this search corresponded with and was derived from the tabular statement before mentioned. I had no other and knew of no other, upon receiving the Comptroller's Certificate, I perceived at once that the names of the officers for some of the tours was different. But I accounted for the imperfection of the old man's recollection as to the officers under whom such particular service was rendered by the fact, that he was regularly attached to the Corps.

commanded by Capt. Vandenberg, Col. Van Schoonhoven Regt. And that every one conversant with the proceedings during the Revolution well knows was the practice. He had often gone out in emergencies with and under commanders as happened to be on that particular service, and could not at such a distance of time, and at his age, recollect precisely whither his regular commander or some other, had charge of each particular expedition.
This was the explanation that occurred to my mind on receiving the Comptroller's Certificate. I did not doubt but that he had rendered the service. And as the fact of his having really rendered and as I supposed that not the minutiae of details & names was the ground for granting a Pension. I sent the Comptroller's Certificate as further evidence of such facts that you might have the whole case before you, and be able to determine according to the very right of the case . In so doing it seems to me that I gave the strongest that on my part I had nothing to conceal; And that no unfavorable inference against me or my motives could possibly be drawn, when I spread the whole case before you, in its details precisely as I had received it.
I certainly intended to have referred you to the papers of the husband on file for further particulars. And really that I had done so, if I did not it was from inadvertence on my part because so far from wishing it, not to be remembered that such papers had been sent. On the contrary I supposed that a reference to them supported by the Comptroller's Certificate would strengthen her claim.
I regret exceedingly any misconstruction of my conduct or motion in relation to this business. I assure you Sir that I have never designally preferred a claim, which was not correct, (at least so far as I could ascertain the same,) It is true, that it is, often exceedingly difficult for such old persons, as the Rev. Pensioners usually are, to recollect with perfect precision every incident of their service, but I have tried my to have them be particular and have given up many cases where the persons did not seem to have sufficient recollection, to swear safely. I hope the above statement will be satisfactory, and remove any unfavorable impression in regard to my course in this business.
I am Respectfully your Mo. obedient Servt

Sir
The claim of Mrs Anna M. Steenbury has been examined the papers filed under the act of 7. July 38. Her late husband's claim was prepared & presented by you and his detail of services duly sworn to by him and unsuccessfully urged on the Dept. by you - Her claim is now drawn up by you for services which are found credited to the name of her late husband differing entirely from his statement in all respects except that there are three tours credited in '80 & '81 under Capt. Van Derburgh amounting to 1 mo. 22 days - and he stated that he served 3 mo under that officer in 1780 - & 3 mo in 1781 - but there is no connection between his statement and the service & proof

which you are now pressing for his widow— This claim appears to have been made out by the service credited to John Steenbergs on the Comptn books, altho the Comptn certificate is dated subsequently to the declaration —
He did not claim service under Cpts Johnson & Salisbury or Lt De Witt. Baker & Hommel of the Militia nor under Capt Fawling of the 8th levies in 1782— She has no claim and some expl- -tion of the circumstances under which you have felt authorized to make out such a claim is expected

The one in which I am interested would have been about fifteen or sixteen at the close of the war.
