State of Kentucky Madison county } 3 rd att.
In this 3 rd day of December, 1832, personally appeared in open court, before the Worshipful, the county court of Madison, now sitting, Matthew Mullins, a resident of Madison county, State of Kentucky, aged 68 years, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth, on his oath, make the following declarations for the benefit of Margaret Maupin, widow of Daniel Maupin, deceased, in order to obtain for said Margaret Maupin, the benefit of the act of Congress, passed June 7, 1832. He, the said Mullins states that the said Daniel Maupin, now deceased, entered the service of the United States under the following named officers and services herein stated. He was drafted into the militia service in the year 1780, (the time he does not recollect,) under Capt. John Harris, Lieut. James Jones, he thinks, Maj. Riddell, Col. Wm. Richardson, and Gen. Shelby. He rendezvoused at Sneeds below Charlottesville, marched from thence to Rich-

man, from thence to the Manakin-Islands, from thence to James- town, where he was attacked by the British, from thence he went to Williamsburg, and thence to Little Fork, and back to the Half- Way House, and thence to Richmond, Va. with some prisoners of War, where he Maupin was discharged, and received a discharge signed by Col. Watts Richmond. He cannot say the precise time Maupin was discharged. But in a very short time after his discharge he was again drafted into the service under Capt. John Hunt, Maj. Gabrey, Col. James Ennis, and Maj. Gen. Lafayette, the commander. He again rendezvoused at Snell's below Charlottesville, marched to Richmond, from thence on a scouting expe- dition and tore up and destroyed the Bridges over Chick- ahominy river; during this there were some little skirm- ishing or skirmishing with the British; from thence he return- ed to Albemarle county to intercept the British Troops and keep them from taking the goods belonging to the Americans stored at the Point. Fork of James River, near Albemarle old court house, from thence he was marched to Louisa county, Va. where the Marquis Lafayette commanded, and received a discharge signed by Col. Ennis, which deponent thinks was in the winter 1780 and 1781. He was again draft- ed into the service in April or May 1781, for six months, under Capt. John Miller, Col. Reuben Lindsay and again rendezvoused at Snell's below Charlottesville, marched from thence to Richmond, Virginia, from thence to Williams- burg, where all the Virginia Militia rendezvoused un- der Governor Nelson, and from thence to the siege of York, and there remained in the service until after the capture of Cornwallis, and was discharged, and received a discharge signed by Col. Reuben Lind- say. Maupin resided in Albemarle county, Virginia, when he entered the service at each of his terms. Gen. Wayne of the continental line was with the troops on his second term. he joined him at West Ham on James River. Col. Dick and Maj. Boice was with us, part of the time. He believes Maupin has lost all his discharges, and has no documenta- ry evidence; this deponent knows Maupin was nine or ten years older than himself. He has known the said Maupin intimately for the last sixty years. They were born and raised in the same neighborhood, and have always resided within a few miles of each other. This deponent further states that himself and Maupin belonged to the same company, on

each of the above tours of duty, and meted in the same mess with him during their whole service, and he knows said Maupin served in all twelve months.

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter of recent date, in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Peter Kneese (Nees or Neese) who served from Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, and whose widow, Mary, was granted a pension; of Daniel Maupin, of Albemarle County, Virginia, and David Dille, whose wife was Mary Sailor.
There is no claim for pension or bounty land on file based upon service in the Revolution of any soldier named Peter Kneese, under any spelling, who died of wounds in 1777. The pension which you state his widow, Mary, received, was granted by the State of Pennsylvania. For further information in regard to that pension, it is suggested that you apply to The Librarian, Pennsylvania State Library, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
The records of two soldiers named Daniel Maupin, both of Albemarle County, Virginia, and the record of David Dille are furnished you herewith.
Very truly yours

How I. Minal
Dr. Sir
The Claim of Margaret Mansfield for Bounty Land under the act of the 3 March 1855. as the Widow of a Revolutionary Soldier and numbered 1442, 622, you inform me has been suspended —
I am informed by the Family of Capt David Mansfield The Husband of the present applicant, that their Father died in the Fall of 1832 or Spring of '33, and under the act of Congress of June 1832 he made application at your Department for pay for Revolutionary Services as a Soldier and Officer;
His claim was fully made out - and proof to sustain it, by witnesses then living and filed in your Department, having departed this life the time alluded to, there was probably no action by your department - and I believe he never drew his Pension, he belonged to the Virginia line, and of the Com- pany of Capt John Miller, and served four or five years -
These facts may aid you - in a further investigation of the claim — and must they will claim your immediate attention,
P. S. I addressed to your Department some weeks since a power of Attorney from the Heirs of Richard Dunn, died under a rule of your office - and have not yet obtained the desired information,

BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims , of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of
Daniel Maupin  By his m o w. Margaret Maupin 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? VI. Has he given the names of the officers under whom he served, in conformity with the regulations? 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?
Living witness &c
XIV. † If the applicant's name is not found on the rolls of military service, has he produced a witness or witnesses as to his service?
If he has produced direct proof as to service, has the magistrate who administered the oath, certified to the credibility of the witness or witnesses?
Has the proper officer certified to the official character and signature of the magistrate as the regulations direct?
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?
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 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 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 shewn 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.
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 authenticates 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 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.
In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, 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.
