NOTES.
The declaration to be executed before a Justice of the Peace, or other officer authorized to administer oaths for general purposes. In the blank in the declaration the claimant must set forth according to the best of her knowledge or belief, the name and rank of the person on account of whose service the claim is presented; the day, month, and year, (if possible,) when he entered the service, and the time when he left the same; and, if under more than one engagement, the claimant must specify the particular periods; and the rank and name of the officers under whom the service was performed; the town or county, and State in which he resided when he entered the service; whether he was draughted, was a volunteer, or substitute; the battles, if any, in which he was engaged; the country through which he marched, with such further particulars as may be useful in the investigation of the claim; and also, produce the best proof the nature of the case will allow, as to the service of the deceased officer or soldier, and the time when he died. It must be clearly shown in what troop or company, and regiment or corps, he served, and the grade he held. Proof as to service must be had, either from the records of the War Department, the muster rolls, the testimony of commissioned officers, or the affidavits of persons of known respectability.
If the fact be so that the claimant has no documentary evidence in support of the claim, set forth such facts in the declaration. But if the soldier was a pensioner then simply describe him by giving the amount of pension he drew, the place of his residence, and the agency at which his pension was paid, instead of a description of his service.
This declaration must be accompanied by satisfactory proof of the marriage, of the husband's death, and the present widowhood of the claimant. If there be a public record of the marriage, a duly certified copy of it should be forwarded, if possible. If there be none but a private or family record, such family record, or a certified copy of the same, should be forwarded, with the affidavit of some disinterested person proving the genuineness of the original and the correctness of the copy. If no public or private record of the marriage exist, or can be procured, that fact should be set forth in the declaration, after giving her maiden name; and in such case, other evidence—such as the testimony of persons who knew the parties in the lifetime of the husband, and knew them to cohabit as husband and wife, and to be so reputed—will be admissible.
In no case, however, will the mere statement of witnesses that the claimant is the widow of the deceased be taken as evidence of the marriage; but the witnesses must state facts and circumstances from which they derive their knowledge or opinion that she is the widow of the deceased.
If the claimant draws a pension under any act, instead of proving her marriage again simply set forth the fact in her declaration, and refer to said papers for proof of her husband's service and her marriage.
The affidavit of two witnesses must be taken to establish the identity of the claimant.
