State of Tennessee & Hugh Luckey
Fayette County } On the 15 th day of January 1833 personally } appeared before the County Court of Fayette County in said state of } Tennessee aged 70 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 provisions made by the Act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832. That he was a resident of Lincoln County North Carolina at the age of about 16 entered the service of the United States, as a militia man in Captain Lofton's company whose company he then was attached to Col. Gholson's Regiment. That his first regular service and that of his company was as Rangers and for the purpose and in the sort of service he was actively employed for some months, altho he in common with his neighbors and County men had voluntarily and regularly attached to any Regiment he been engaged in some service skirmishes against the Tories before - The next service he rendered was shortly afterwards, previous to its not being collected; his term came to go out, and went under Captain White to Wilmington, in what among the soldiers was called Rutherford's expedition being under the Command of General Rutherford. And on which expedition he was taken prisoner by a party of Tories and with much difficulty was released, partly on account of his youth, that he and some others had been sent out on a scout from the main body of the troops and they exposed he & some of his comrades were taken prisoners. States that he is now frail and his memory has failed him as to minute particulars - That that he was for a considerable time under the Command of Captain White  Lofton

So often he recollects distinctly but cannot now give the dates nor all the excursions they took. States that he was in all from the time he entered service to the close of the War about three years under arms, part of the time he was kept as a minute man subject to call whenever necessary for foreign service, and engaged often in protecting the country against the ravages & inroads of the Tories; in these expeditions he suffered much and frequently made narrow escapes until they at length succeeded in putting them down - He supposes that it might be called a draft when he went into service regularly, at all events the Captain's Company were all drafted and went on tours of duty in their turn, and the affiant has served several different tours in his turn. One celebrated encounter with the Tories in his time and in which he was engaged as a volunteer was called the battle of Ramsour's at Ramsour's Mill in Lincoln County. He further states that he has no documentary evidence and that he knows of no individual in the part of the country in which he lives, except James Reed who can prove his actual service, altho' he believes that there are other persons living who might prove it if it were in his power to hunt them up, but feels unable to undertake such a task.
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

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 inquiry 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 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 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 _____; 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 [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.
[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.

I certify that Isaac B. Mclellan is clerk of the circuit Court of Fayette county, and that his name and the within papers are in his own handwriting. I am acquainted with the two witnesses Mr. Morgan & Mr. Reed. I have never heard them state against the character of Mr. Reed and there is not a more respectable man living than William S. Morgan. Judge Leeky has only written as to the credit of Morgan this is wrong. I presume to his want of acquaintance with Reed. I have known him to refuse to testify as to the credit of witnesses because he had no acquaintance with the witness I have seen Mr. Leeky and believe he is entitled to credit on oath; I know that A. S. Morgan would not swear that any man was entitled to credit if he was not. January 21 st 1834. McQuinlafe

Sir
I enclose the proof &c of the identity of Hugh Luckey - for your examination - The reason alleged for his not having made application sooner for his pension, is that he thought the stipend not as large as it should be - But that age & increasing infirmity, have rendered important to his comfort, the small stipend allowed in his certificate - He therefore requests that you will instruct me to pay his pension - from 4 Mar. '31 to 4 Sept. '37 -
Very Respectfully Yr. obedient Servt, B. Ample

Mr J. L. Edwards Com: of Pensions, Sir -
A few days ago Mr Isaac Luckey Administrator of Hugh Luckey, late of this County decd - a Revolutionary Pensioner placed in my hands the Pension Certificate of Hugh Luckey with a request to aid him in drawing the arrears of Pension that had accrued before the decease of the Pensioner which took place in this County on the 18th January 1841. The certificate is dated 8th May 1834, is numbered 26724 and issued by virtue of the act of Congress of 7th June 1832 to Hugh Luckey of the State of Tennessee and entitled him to Twenty Dollars per annum.
The Administrator cannot ascertain what sum is in arrear but thinks about $80 or $90. I find with the papers a letter of John Campbell Treasurer U.S. of date of 4 March 1839 addressed to Hugh Luckey enclosing a Treasury draft but the amount not stated -
Will you please advise me from & to what period his Administrator is entitled to draw also whether payment can be made by the agent at Jackson Tennessee or the papers must be forwarded to Washington.
Very respectfully
J. H. COLE

In reply to the last paragraph of Mr. Boe's letter write the following words:
The papers sent her by you in the case of the widow of Henry Duckey are not sufficient to establish her claim to a pension; nor can I say whether she is entitled to one under any law, as I do not know when she was married. I enclose for your information copies of the laws and regulations on the subject, which will be afford a better answer to your enquiry than any thing that I can write.
