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.
† The notes from [a] to [i] are all equally applicable to the cases of Militia men, Volunteers and State Troops. The proof required by rule in note [j] applies to continental troops only.
[k] This traditional evidence is indispensable in militia cases.
[l] If a witness cannot be found, the declarant must state the fact.
[m] The answers to the interrogatories must all be written, and sent to the War Department, with the declaration.

State of Tennessee
Blount County Court 3 May Session 1833
On this thirteenth day of May 1833 personally appeared in open court before the justices of the County Court of Blount County, now sitting Daniel Sutherland a resident of Blount County and State of Tennessee aged seventy nine years who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declarations in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832.
That he intend the service of the United States under the following named officers and served as herein stated. In the county of Rowan and State of North Carolina he was drafted and intend the service of the United States under the command of Colonel Martin, Captain William Knox, Lieutenant Richard Grimes and Ensign Abel Armstrong as a private soldier in the North Carolina Militia. He was marched under the above officers from Rowan County against the Tories who had embodied themselves between Ledge Creek and Wilmington, but before he reached the place of destination, a battle had been fought with them, the Tories defeated and about eighty of them taken prisoners, who were brought back to Ledge Creek to the Warhouse on Cape Fear River, and left there to be guarded by declarant & the forces with him, in which service he was employed about two weeks when the prisoners when the prisoners were taken off towards

the north by a company of light horse. - Declarant with the other forces, remained at the same place to suppress any rising of the Tories until he was discharged. Declarant believes he was drafted for three months, but for some reason unknown to him he & the troops with him were discharged without having served that length of time. He cannot from age and the consequent loss of memory state the precise length of the term of his service, but according to the best of his recollections was not up than two months, and for which he received a written discharge from Captain Knox which is lost or mislaid, but how, or in what manner, he is wholly unable to state; nor can he state the year, he recollects that he entered the service in January under Captain Knox and quit it in March following. Shortly thereafter, in the same year in the early part of July he recollects it was during old harvest, he volunteered and again entered the service in Rowan under the command of General Rutherford, Colonel Frank Locke, Captain Samuel Reed, Lieutenant John Grimes, or Graham, & ensign Moses Mitchell. He was marched under Rutherford across the mountains on an expedition against the Cherokee Indians, first passing up the Catawba river and on to about its head waters, then across & down Swanannoo creek, across French Broad & Little Pigeon & Big Pigeon rivers on to a water course called Fork a sego where the first Indian Village was found but was deserted by the Indians, thence to French river to a place by some called the Cowee town by others the Malatanga town, about two miles from which General Rutherford made

a halt and remained there about a week waiting for General Pickens who was to meet him there from South Carolina. Pickens came and the day after his junction with Rutherford he proceeded on across the country against some Indians then called the Overhills, whither Rutherford had previously dispatched one thousand of his army. Shortly after Pickens left Rutherford on the same day he had a battle with the Indians & defeated them but with the loss of about 12 or 13 men killed & a few more than that number wounded, who were brought back to Rutherford's camp to be taken care of. Rutherford and the forces under him were employed in destroying the Indian towns & property until his forces sent against the Overhills returned shortly after which he & declarant with him returned to their homes. On the return at the camp on a branch near the Pleasant gardens on the Catawba river declarant received a written discharge from Captain Reed having this tour served three months and eleven days. He has lost or mislaid this discharge, but in what manner he is unable to state. The date of this tour and the preceding one he cannot fix other- wise than by General Rutherford's expedition against the Cherokee Indians. Not long after the preceding tour declarant moved into Wilkes county, N. Carolina where he was again drafted and entered the service under the command of Major Frank Hargroves, & Captain Pendleton Isbell, from whom he was marched

in company with companies of light horse  foot commanded by Captains Morgan & Johnson, of light horse commanded by John Cleveland and John Beverly in pursuit of some embodied Tories. commanded by one Fanning who made off to join the British at Charleston. - Declarant & those with him pursued the Tories, crossing the Suckin river at the shallow ford, then to Salem, to Guilford old courthouse, to Mendenhall's mill on Deep river, to Bell's mill, to Cox's mill and on to a place between what was called the Flat Swamps & Pee Dee, where the pursuit was abandoned - declarant & those with him returned. Declarant was discharged from this tour at Wilkesboro having served this time from the best of his recollection not less than six weeks. - Not long after the preceding tour it was understood that Fanning had returned to the settlements and was making another recruit of Tories when declarant was again called out to go against him & again entered the service under the command of Captain Pendleton Isbell and Col. Isaac and was under their employ in a trip similar to the last preceding, one against the Tories for the term of thirty three days at the end of which he was discharged in Wilkes county by Captain Isbell on the 23 rd of December 1781. - The dis- charge for this tour he finds amongst his old papers and herewith transmits it. - He states that beside the preceding tours he was very often during the war called out against the Tories and was in the service for short periods, sometimes for two or three weeks.

Sometimes a week or two and sometimes only a few days, the times either dispersing, retreating to the British army or being defeated. He cannot with any precision state the whole length of his service during these short engagements he is certain that it cannot be up than two months and believes it to be much more, but is satisfied to claim for that much only.
The whole length here stated, and which declarant is satisfied falls short of his actual service during the revolutionary war is the first tour two months , the second three months & eleven days , the third, six weeks or forty two days , the fourth thirty three days , and under occasional short engagements in all two months . - Except the discharge given with Transmittal he has no documentary evidence, nor does he know of any person whose testimony he can procure who can testify to his services. - Declarant was born in Hanover County State of North Carolina in March 1753 according to the account given him by his parents. He has no record of his age. He was living in Rowan County, N. Carolina when called into the service for the first two trips & in Wilkes County N. Carolina for the balance. After the war he continued to live in Wilkes County for about twenty three or twenty four years from there he moved to Cumberland County Kentucky where he lived about one year and from there he moved to this, (Blossad) County Tennessee where he has lived for about twenty five years and where he still resides. He was drafted for all his service

except one tour which he performed as a volunteer. - He has given the names of his officers as well as he can recollect them & the general circumstances of his services. He received discharges & has given the only account of them which he is capable of doing. - He is known in his present neighborhood to John Dutton a clergyman and to Eli Sherman Sheriff of Broome county and James A. Whitelaw who can testify as to his character for veracity and their belief of his services as a soldier of the revolution. -
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity, except the present and declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of the agency of any state. -
Sworn to & subscribed the day his Daniel H. Lutherland and year aforesaid. marks
We John Dutton a clergyman residing in Broome county and state of New York and Eli Sherman and James A.

Dear Sir
Dear Sir
I find that in putting up the papers of Daniel Lutherbrand who has made an application for a pension under the act of June 7. 1832, I omitted to enclose his original discharge which is referred to in his declarations. and now herewith transmits it to be placed with the declaration. —
A short time since, I received twelve certificates from the department for applicants from this county, & three claims returned for proof or explanation. The application of Benjamin Standifer was one of the first made, - his declaration was returned with the same objections made to others returned at the same time, and was explained and amended in the same manner. Certificates have been sent for all the others, and there

is no account of standers in any way. Thinking that the claim has either been overlooked entirely, or the artefacts mislaid, I write you on the subject and must beg of you the favour to inform me of the true situation of the claim as soon as your convenience will permit.
I am Very respectfully
Your Obt. Servant
