That he entered the army of the United States under the following named Officers and served as herein stated. He was born in Prince Edward County Virginia on the 24 th August 1757. At the time he entered the service the first time he lived in Pittsylvania County Virginia. In the year 1780 about August he entered the service of the United States under Captain Tapley (he thinks) White and Col. Da- vis. He thinks he was called out by drafting having called out for 8 months. He thinks also that he served in the Virginia State troops. He surrender- voured with the rest at Charlottesville Court House. From Charlottesville Court House he was marched to Peters Petersburg where he fell under the com- mand of Col. Gibson and Major Mayweather or some such name. He does not remember having any Captain at Petersburg as Col. White did not go there. Before he went from Charlottesville to Petersburg he had remained in service three weeks, according to the best of his recollection and three weeks at Petersburg. He then re- ceived a Furlough from Col. Gibson and went home under strict orders to hold himself in readiness at a moment's warning to march on any service, and was not to consider him- self discharged from his 8 months service, which orders contained in 8 th Furlough he strict- ly obeyed and considered himself a soldier for the full term of 8 months. He served all the time as a Private. He does not recollect the

any Continental Regiments or companies with which he served. He thinks that Col Davis, Col White and Maj Henry and others were Regular or State Officers. They are all the Regular Officers he remembers. He received no Discharge. He has no Documentary evidence nor does he know of any person whose testimony he can procure who can testify to his services. He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to an annuity or pension except the present.

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.
DECLARATION.
In order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress of the 7th of June, 1832.
State, Territory, or District of } ss. County of }
On this day of personally appeared (a) before A. 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) 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 [e] are all equally applicable to the cases of Militia men, Volunteers and State Troops. The proof required by rule [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.

Mrs. Nat Francis Winchester Tennessee
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter of recent date, relative to Anthony Street, a soldier of the Revolutionary War.
The data which follow are obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, R. 10261, based upon his military service in that war.
Anthony Street was born August 24, 1757, in Prince Edward County, Virginia.
While living in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, about August, 1780, he was drafted for eight months; he served as a private under Captain Tarpley White and Colonel Davis for three weeks and under Colonel Gibson for three weeks, after which he received a furlough and went home under orders to hold himself in readiness for further service.
He was allowed pension for eight months' service, on his application executed May 14, 1833, while living in Hart County, Kentucky. and He died February 24, 1836.
He married June 31, 1786, in Campbell County, Virginia, Trehenia Stirman.
She applied for pension November 29, 1838, at which time she was seventy-one years old and lived in Mercer County, Kentucky, but her claim was not allowed, as it appeared upon reexamination of the soldier's claim that he rendered only six weeks actual military service, not having again been called out for duty, whereas the pension laws required six months' actual military service.

Samuel D. Street, son of Anthony Street and his wife, Trepesia, was about fifty years of age in 1838.
There are no further data on file as to family.
The foregoing history is that of the only soldier named Anthony Street, found in the Revolutionary War records of this office.

My dear Senator:
I have to advise you in response to your letter of the 16" instant, and the enclosed letter of Mr. Claude P. Street, that from the papers in the pension claim, R. 10261, it appears that Anthony Street was born in Prince Edward County, Virginia, August 24, 1757, and while living in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, about August 1760, he was drafted for eight months; he served as a private under Captain Parpley White and Colonel Davis for three weeks and under Colonel Gibson for three weeks, after which he received a furlough and went home under orders to hold himself in readiness for further service.
He was allowed pension for eight months service, on his application executed May 14, 1833, while living in Hart County, Kentucky, and he died February 24, 1836.

He married in Campbell County, Virginia, June 31, 1786, Trehenia Stirman. She applied for pension November 22, 1838, at which time she was 71 years old and lived in Mercer County, Kentucky, but her claim was not allowed, as it appeared upon re-examination of the soldier's claim, that he rendered only six weeks actual military service, not having again been called out for duty, whereas the pension laws required six months actual military service.
Their son Samuel D. was about fifty years of age in 1838. There is no further data on file as to family.
A careful search of the records fails to show a claim for Revolutionary War pension or bounty land on file on account of the services of a Joseph Street.
Mr Claude Street is requested to furnish any data in his possession relative to the alleged pension of Joseph Street.
Sincerely,

Mrs. L. B. Campbell, Box 132, Fayette, Miss.
Madam:
In response to your letter of August 30, 1920, you are advised that from the papers in the claim A. file 10261, it appears that Anthony Street was born in Prince Edward County, Virginia, August 24, 1757 and while living in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, about August 1780, he was drafted for eight months; he served as private under Captain Tarpley White and Colonel Davis for three weeks, and under Colonel Gibson for three weeks, after which he received a furlough, and went home under orders to hold himself in readiness for further service.
He was allowed pension for eight months service, on his application executed May 14, 1833 while residing in Hart County, Kentucky, and he died February 24, 1838.
He married in Campbell County, Virginia, June 31, 1786, Trehenia Stirman. She applied for pension November 29, 1838, at which time she was 71 years old and lived in Mercer County, Kentucky, but her claim was not allowed as it appeared upon re-examination of the soldier's claim, that he had rendered only six weeks actual military service, not having again been called out for duty, whereas the pension laws required six months actual military service.
Their son, Samuel D. was about fifty years of age in 1838. There is no further data on file as to his family.
Very respectfully,
Acting Commissioner.

Director of Pensions
Washington D.C.

Mr. Washington Gardner, Bureau of Pensions, Washington, D.C.
Dear Sir:
I am in receipt of your letter of July 18 in answer to my letter addressed to the Hon. Kenneth McKellar, in response to my inquiry as to the War record of Anthony Street, and I am pleased to say that he is not the Anthony Street I wanted to inquire about.
My grandfather was named Anthony Waddy Street and was born in or near Richmond, Va. in 1742, but removed to Lunenburg County, Virginia and lived there for many years. He died there in 1809. The Joseph Street inquired about was his son and his name is registered in the Virginia Militia, but not among the pensioners. He is registered as a Second Lieutenant and I would like to get his war record, if you can furnish it to me.
If it is possible for you to give me any data on Anthony Waddy Street I will be very much pleased to get it, and beg of you to kindly address me for the next three or four weeks at Beersheba Springs, Tenn. The only data that I have on my grandfather's Revolutionary War Record is in an old family history, in which it says he was a soldier of the Revolution.
Yours very truly,
Claude P. Street

The Commissioners of Pensions will please permit Mr. Benjamin Elder to examine the pension of William and Abigail Dutton, filed by the Heirs of William Dutton in the year 1832, in relation to the services of William Dutton deceased, who resided in the County of Franklin and State of Kentucky .
Dutton's Street was placed in the pension list in the year 1832, and died in the year 1836. His widow Abigail Dutton made application in the 1830's, for the pension which he was entitled to, but her claim was rejected. Believing that her claim was a just one, I request that it may be reconsidered. I make this request being myself entitled to a balance was due her at her death.
With kind respect
To the Commissioners of Pensions
