Mrs. J.D. Hannah Thomaston Georgia
Dear Madam:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W. 7988, it appears that Jacob King was born in Hanover County, Virginia, date not stated.
While a resident of that county, he enlisted and served as a private with the Virginia Troops as follows:
From January, 5, 1779, three months in Captains Jacob Cross' and John Thompson's Companies in Colonel William Dandridge's Regiment; from sometime in 1780, two months in Captains William O. Winston's and Morecock's Companies in Colonel Meriwether's Regiment; from the time of the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown, two months in Captain Thomas Tinsley's Company in Colonel John Taylor's Regiment.
He was allowed pension on his application executed September 25, 1832, at which time he was a resident of Hanover County, Virginia, aged seventy years.

He died November 5, 1838, in Hanover County, Virginia.
The soldier married January 15, 1829, in Hanover County, Virginia, Elizabeth Tyree.
She was allowed pension on her application executed February 10, 1853, at which time she was sixty-two years of age and was living in Richmond, Virginia.
She died September 5, 1865, in Essex County, Virginia, and was survived by two children, Mrs. Nathaniel Crow and Jacob J. or I. King.
The papers of said claim fail to afford any information in regard to any wife other than Elizabeth.
The above noted is the history of the only soldier from Virginia, by the name of Jacob King, found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau.
Very truly yours,
EARL D. CHURCH Commissioner.

Appel of Eliza beth King,
Widow of
Sacov,
Richmond,
124. Pa  on 3 rd July 53.  Mrs. V. Sutton,  Richmond,  va  DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, Pension Office, Official Business

BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims, of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of Jacob Hering 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? With. J. 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? The Court has 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? 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 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 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.
†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.

Dear Sir,
I regret exceedingly to find that such a mistake should have originated in the case of Mrs Elizabeth King instead of the War of 1812. It should have been the war of the Revolution. Mrs King has obtained last year a Revolutionary pension and draws her pension Semi annually. If therefore the present application can be allowed to Mrs King with the explanation which I hope will be satisfactory I shall be pleased. If however you should require an amended one it shall be sent on as soon as I am apprised of it. I was at the time her application went on labouring under the effects of a fall which caused me to get another person to do some of the writing for me and although Mrs Kings case was made out correctly at one time. I am now utterly at a loss to account for the error
