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 day 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.
[k] The notes from [a] to [j] 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.
[l] This traditional evidence is indispensable in militia cases.
[m] If a witness cannot be found, the declarant must state the fact.
[n] The answers to the interrogatories must all be written, and sent to the War Department, with the declaration.

Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter relative to Elisha Luther, a soldier of the Revolutionary War.
The data furnished herein are obtained from the papers in the Revolutionary War claim for pension, W.12164, based upon the military service of Elisha Luther in that war.
Elisha Luther was born in December, 1756, in Colchester, Connecticut.
While residing in Colchester, Connecticut, he enlisted in the spring of 1776, served as a private in Captain John Isham's Company, Colonel John Chester's Connecticut Regiment, was in the retreat from New York, at the battle of White Plains, where wounded, nature of wound not stated, and at the battle of Trenton, length of service nine months.
While residing in Lebanon, Connecticut, he enlisted in June or July, 1777, served as an artificer in Captains Jarius Wilcox's and Gamaliel Painter's Companies of Artillery Artificers, and was discharged in 1780.
After the Revolution, he resided in Connecticut until 1790; in the state of Vermont until 1822; then moved to Unadilla, Otsego County, New York.
He was allowed pension on his application executed November 19, 1832, while residing in Unadilla, New York.
He died June 23, 1846, in Unadilla, New York.
The soldier married August 28, 1824, in Unadilla, New York, Lucy, her maiden name not stated.
Omitted Col. Elisha Painter's name because in 1776, Gamaliel Painter, whom sol. states was his capt., was a Lt. in Col. Painter's Regt. & this sol. was rendering service in Col. Chester's Regt. There is no time between the sol's 2nd enlistment, in which he could have been in the organization of Capt. G. Painter's Col. E. Painter. See Heitman

Soldier's widow, Lucy, was allowed pension on her application executed July 15, 1850, while residing in Unadilla, New York. In 1853, she was aged sixty-six years. She was still living in Unadilla, New York, in 1855.
There is no reference to children.

We now understand that by some competent court or authority, it has been decided that by the true construction of that act she is entitled to ar- rearages to March 4, 1848.
Will you have the goodness to inform us whether this is so, or if so to furnish us with the necessary forms

and instructions, so that we can make the proper profs. to entitle her to draw such an allowance -
We are not Russian atp. but our client much prefers that we should make the effort, rather than employ foreign & unknown counsel, and courteous assistance not from this department induces us to ask for the information named -

Ransom Clark
Justice of the peace

Washington, Sept. 17 th 1857.
Sir:
I respectfully request a reexamination of the Claims of the widow of Elisha Suther , and of the widow of Gideon Pearce , mentioned in the enclosed letter from Gideon  Robt. F. Dual , Esq.
I examined the papers in both of said cases in April last, and at my request they were passed by without any final action upon them.
As it is possible there is nothing on file in either of said cases to show my authority to act, I enclose the above mentioned letter from Mr. Dual, by authority of which, and of other letters subsequently received from Mr. Dual, I have had charge of said cases since about the 1st of April last, and have been recognized by the Pension Office as the Agent in the case. I make this explanation because I do not think there is any power of attorney to me on file — the Department at the time said cases were put into my hands not requiring any thing more than a letter of authority from the Agent presenting the claim.
I must request that the enclosed letter be carefully preserved, as it contains my contract  in regard to fees
I am, very respectfully Your obed servt

March 28 1858
Dear Sir -
You are known to me favorably, by reputation, as a Pension Agent - and as being engaged particularly in the prosecution of the claims of Artificers to an increase, now being pressed upon the attention of the Department.
I sent to the Department two cases, last Summer of this kind - both were Artificers - both served two years and more - drawing $144. per annum.
The name of the Soldier in one case was Eliphalet Martin Luther. He died in 1844. at Unadilla Otsego Co. N. Y. his place of residence. He was a member of Col. Baldwin's regiment - served during the entire war as an Artificer I think - but he may have enlisted after the 11 th of February 1778.
The other was that of Zebulon Pierce of Cortland County New York. He died in 37 I think. The widow (who is not a pensioner not having been married in season) informed me that he was in the service in the latter part of the war as an Artificer.
I suppose, of course disproof must be in filed in the Department in both these cases.
I made a contract for twenty per cent of these cases - if they were allowed - and there
which this

is another gentleman equally interested with me in these cases. If you will take hold of them call them up & get a decision upon them in case they are allowed we will give you one third of the share coming to us after paying expenses which are not very great - and of course if there can be nothing obtained you are responsible for no share of the expenses we have already incurred
The Applications are by Lucy Luther for orphans believed to have due her husband Martin Luther and Mary Pierce for orphans believed to have due her husband Stephen  Mary Pierce
Will you please to write me your disposition & opinion regarding the matter as soon as convenient at Worcester

Yours, &c.

Dear Sir -
I mailed you a day or two since An Application for arrear of pension - from Mrs. Pierce of Cortland County - this State That as I wrote you was presen- ted with a view to obtain the ben- fits of a decision - which it is understood has been recently made in the Department allowing to Artificers - at least in some cases an increased pension
This application from Lucy Guther - widow of Elisha Guther is presented with the same view
The Pensioner it will be seen had the usual pay of Artificers under the law of 1832 to wit - $14 00 and resided at the time of his death in this (Otse- go) County New York
I hope for as early attention as possible to these cases
