BA--J/AWF Azariah Martin W. 554
Miss Florence Cross 754 Rand Oakland, California
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Azariah Martin, of Kentucky. You state that there is some confusion over the record of this soldier, as there were several by the same name.
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in claim for pension, W. 554, based upon the service of Azariah Martin in the Revolutionary War. This is the record of the only Azariah Martin found on file in the Revolutionary War pension records of this office.
The date and place of birth of Azariah Martin, and names of his parents were not designated.
Azariah Martin volunteered in Amherst County, Virginia, in the summer of 1780, served two months as private, stationed at Amherst Court House, under Ensign Jonathan Reid. He enlisted late in 1780, served about three months as private under his uncle, Captain Azariah Martin. He enlisted sometime in February, 1781, served three months as private in Captain James Dillard's company, Colonel Rose's Virginia regiment. He served, again, in 1781, three months in Captain James Barnett's company, Colonel

Hugh Rose's Virginia regiment, and was at the battle of Jamestown.
This soldier, Azariah Martin, moved to Kentucky about the year 1791 or 1792.
He was allowed pension on his application executed August 27, 1832, then aged sixty-eight years, and a resident of Clay County, Kentucky. He died April 15, 1834, in Rockcastle County, Kentucky.
Azariah Martin married in the month of April, 1791, in Amherst County, Virginia, Miss Lucy Rodes. She was born and reared in Amherst County, and was the daughter of Charles Rodes, who was living in Amherst County, in 1791, at whose house she was married. The name of the mother of Lucy Rodes is not given.
The marriage bond of Azariah Martin, and Lucy Rodes was dated April 30, 1791, and at this time he was referred to as Azariah Martin, Junior, of Madison County; reference was made at the same time to another Azariah Martin, but there was no relationship shown.
The widow, Lucy Martin, was allowed pension on her application executed February 28, 1840, at which time she was seventy-four years of age, and living in Madison County, Kentucky, where she was still living in 1843.
Azariah Martin and his wife, Lucy, reared a family of six children, only name shown was Liberty B. Martin who was born in the year 1812, and in 1840 was living in Madison County, Kentucky.
William Martin, brother of the soldier, Azariah Martin, was seventy-four years of age in 1840, and a

resident of Madison County, Kentucky.
The papers on file in this claim contain no further discernible family data.
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, name and address of person paid, and possibly the date of death of this widow, you should apply to The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and furnish the following data-
Lucy Martin, widow of Azariah Martin Certificate # 283 Issued June 10, 1843 Rate $36.66 per annum Commenced March 4, 1843 Act of March 3, 1843 Kentucky Agency.

Mr. W. J. Coulter 86 Watkins Avenue Middletown New York.
Dear Sir:
I advise you that the only soldier named Azariah Martin (W. 554) found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau served with the Virginia Troops. He applied for pension August 27, 1832 then aged sixty-eight years and a resident of Clay County, Kentucky.
He married in 1791 in Amherst County, Virginia, Lucy Rodes of said Amherst County.
He died April 15, 1834
Very truly yours,
EARL D. CHURCH Commissioner.
He asked for a sol named Azariah Martin who served in 1776 as second master in Orange Co. N.Y. died about Dec 6, 1822 in Vernon Twp. Sussex Co. N.J. He also had a cousin by the same name in Piscataway Twp. N.J. also in Rev. Place of res was the only way of distinguishing between the two. As the name was so unusual. I sent the above statement

Oakland, Calif 754 Rand July 17, 1939.
Veterans Administration Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:
May I please have a copy of the pension record of Ozariah Martin ? Only
There seems to be confusion over Ozariah's record.
There seem to be several by the same name. One record states he died in 1834 and another 1840

His wife was named Lucy. He lived in Madison Co., Ky. and there is one Azariah Martin mentioned in the will of James Martin who died in 1799. James Martin left 200 acres of land to not W.B. his son, Azariah Martin in Clark Co. Ky. Azariah Martin was in service in the Revolutionary War.
I would appreciate all in- formation you can give me.
Sincerely

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

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? 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's name is not found on the rolls of military service, has he produced a witness or witnesses as to his service? yes 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? yes Has the proper officer certified to the official character and signature of the magistrate as the regulations direct? 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? 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.
