That he entered the Militia service of the United States, as a Volunteer, under the following named Officers, and served as herein stated: He entered the service under Capt. Tho s Threadgill, in the County of Brunswick and State of Virginia, on the 12 th Oct. 1779, for Eight months, and served out his time and was discharged at the Redhouse, on Banister river - he does not recollect whether in the State of Virginia or North Carolina, but he thinks nearly on the line between the two States. He does not recollect the different field officers he was under, as they were so frequently changed from Regiment to Regiment, but he recollects that the most of his time he was attached to a Regiment commanded by Col. Gilyon: He was in no battle. He marched through North Carolina into South Carolina under Genl. Green, but does not recollect the different Counties he passed through. He received an honorable discharge at the Redhouse, on Banister river (as heretofore stated) which he has lost. In the year 1780 he was drafted in the Militia in s d County of Brunswick for three months, and was discharged about six miles North of Richmond in Virginia, at a place called the Longbridge. He was attached to the company of Capt. Lawrence Hous: The field officers were Majr. Halcomb, Colo. St. George Tucker and Genl. Lawson. From the great lapse of time, he does not recollect the different Counties he marched through. That he has no documentary evidence and that he knows of no person whose testimony he can procure who can testify to his services.

BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims, of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of William Satimen 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 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 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? yes Has the official character and signature of the magistrate been certified by the proper officer under his seal of office? 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? yes XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not so answered? 6. 2. 7 not 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 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.

Defects in this case Declr. not in Cal. - (nothing said of record Evidence of Marriage)
Husband sued - (Marriage Identity) Ground by intruption & also a Cert of St. (which however is defective but unobject with the other Evidence) when defects Comm- unvalid to prove also are rebutted
