Pittsfield (Mass) Aug 14. 1854, Hon Loren P Weld Commissioner of Pensions Sir
Enclosed is the Declaration of Diane Warden, who lives in this town, and who is the widow of Wait Warden, who was a pensioner - and who died at Rensselaer in the County of Rensselaer and State of New York in April 1839. The declaration is made for the purpose of getting the pension to which she is entitled as his widow.
In addition to her declaration aforesaid, is an affidavit of George Bickford, now resident in Michigan, showing the death of Wait Warden the Pensioner in April 1839.
In the Spring of 1818, this Wait Warden and his wife came here to live, and lived together here as man and wife two or three years, with their only child Joseph Warden, who now lives here, and his mother with him, and who is a respectable man of good character. Wait Warden went away, into the State of New York and lived there till he died.
This woman is aged, feeble and poor. I have undertaken to get her pension

as a favor to her, and shall make no charge, of any amount for it. By the aid of her son I hope to get it without much expense.
Under these circumstances, I beg you to file the enclosed papers; and to inform me what more is wanting.
We were shown their living together here two or three years as husband & wife. Will that be sufficient to prove the marriage? If not what more must we do? Is the proof of his death sufficient?
I am aware this is presuming upon your kindness, but under the circumstances perhaps you will be willing to cause me to be informed with much respect
your friend & obedient servant Julius Probst

EXPLANATORY NOTES

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? Yes
XII. If the clergyman's affidavit has not been produced, is there any reason assigned for not obtaining it? Yes
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? Yes
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 And is the official character and signature of the magistrate certified by the proper officer under his seal of office? Yes
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? Yes
XVI. ‡ Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct? Yes
XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not so answered? Yes
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.

Mr. Edward C. Worden, Milburn, N. J.
Sir:
In response to your letter dated the 11 th and received the 12 th instant, relative to Wait Worden R. File No. 11,864, you are advised that his service for one year from February, 1775, under Captain Daniel Billings and Colonel Samuel Prentice, is all and the only service alleged in the papers on file in this Bureau.
As the pension Act under which he applied provided for a minimum of 6 months' service, it was not necessary for him to prove any longer term, although additional service would have increased his rate of pension.
It is impossible for this Bureau to determine whether Wait Worden the pensioner is identical with Wait Worden reported by the Adjutant General.
You are further advised that any person designated by you will be allowed to examine and copy papers in the claims of persons (approximately twenty) named "Worden" in the Revolutionary War files of this Bureau.
Very respectfully,
E. C. Trimmer Acting Commissioner.

This matter is of much interest to my family, on account of involving the eligibility of my daughter for membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution. Would you be so kind as to compare the attached two records with your original archives, and inform me if these two people were in all probability one or different, and the reasons therefor as shown in your repositories.
