In 1839 I forwarded to you the claim of Anna Dorothea Miller widow of John Miller the for a pension, and Your answer of the date of July 22, 1839 stated that she not having been a widow at the passage of the act her claim was not provided for for. I have repeatedly been called on, in her behalf to assert her claim as it is said other claimes of the same nature are allowed, under the said act and the joint resolutions declaratory & amendatory thereof, and now desire that the claim may be reexamined and that she have the pay certificate if the testimony is in other respects regular not having a copy thereof I am unable to say know fully what the testimony is of however more testimony is required to establish the claim I am informed there is no difficulty in obtaining the same
You will confer a favor on the widow by attending to this matter soon as she has been delayed some time Please send Your answer to me

Dr. Sir,
I herewith enclose a letter of Widow Anna Miller who appears to be entitled to a Pension.
It appears that she applied some four years ago for a Pension through Atty. Rathbun of Hephzibah N.Y. but did not succeed in obtaining it. Her husband John Miller drew a Pension up to the time of his death which occurred about nine years ago. She further states that she was married some sixty three years ago & that her husband served through most of the war.
As her Attorney has failed to supply her with the necessary information you will confer a favor by informing her through me what testimony is now required in addition to that already furnished in order that her claim may be allowed.
I am Sir
Very Respectfully Your Obt. Servt. J. C. Slingerland Barnerville Schoharie Co. N. Y.

The Agent for Lohn Miller states that the papers are certified anew in the points to which objections were taken as will appear by the additional certificates of the County Clerk

BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims, of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of John Miller New Haven 6 th N. York  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? 118
XII. If the clergyman's affidavit has not been produced, is there any reason assigned for not obtaining it? 119
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?
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? 121
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? 122
Has the proper officer certified to the official character and signature of the magistrate as the regulations direct? 123
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? 124
XVI. ‡ Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct? 125
XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not so answered?
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, deposeh 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 shewn 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
My mother, Widow Anna of John Miller deceased wants you to see if you cannot assist her in getting her pension. She is the widow of John Miller my father who died a revolutionary pensioner about nine years ago. He drew about $82. a year. She employed Samuel Rathbeck of Herkimer Village about four years ago & he says he can't get it for some reason which we cannot comprehend. Mother was married in Greenbush Albany Co NY about sixty three years ago. Her family record Mr. Rathbeck sent to Washington. Father lived in Greenbush near Albany in the war. He served under Captain Freyze & a good many other officers through the whole war. He did not draw in the first place as much as he ought to. Mother is 80 years old. & lives in Columbia Herkimer County NY. where father died. We want you to try hard to get this pension as mother is poor & duly entitled to it. as father served so much in the Revolution. We want you to do the best you can & write to Washington to know why she don't get it, & do all necessary business and will pay you for it. Direct your letter to John Miller Esq. Cedarville, Herkimer Co NY.

Commissioner of Pensions
Dear Sir, — Will you kindly give me the Revolutionary service of not as  Andrew Miller — (Andrew Miller) who was born approximately about 1732 and came from Baden Baden to America. His son John was born 1760 at Church Town and married Dorothea  Carpner of Rensselaer Co. where his family emigrated from Church Town Columbia Co. I would also like the Rev. military service N.Y. of son John. He is supposed to have been with Benedict Arnold's troops at Saratoga where he fathered Andrew with his six sons fought and witnessed the surrender of Burgoyne. —
The six sons were John — Henry — Andrew Jonas — William and Jacob. All were living in what is now Rensselaer Co. N.Y. but which formerly was a part of Albany Co.
Andrew the father married Margaretha Kets born in 1743 and died Miller Mills Herkimer Co N.Y. April 7 — 1816. He died at Miller Mills

N.Y. Dec 4 - 1803 and is buried at Columbia Center Herk. Co N.Y.
The son John bp. Sep 5 - 1760 at Churchtown Columbia Co. N.Y and died Millers Mills N.Y. Nov. 29-1838. He married Anna Dorothea Kerner (Dorothy Cainer) who was born Rensselaer Co N.Y. formerly Albany Co Nov 28 - 1767 and died Millers Mills Herk. Co Nov 1848. She was granted a pension of something like $85 per yr.
May I please have the complete Rev- service of Andrew Miller and his son John?
In applying for a pension if there are addi- tional data given exceeding mine I should be most glad of the smallest item. I am quite sure Andrew was an officer. I give him credit he fought through the Rev. war made his 6 sons all veterans in another country. After the war with all his family 8 chil & grand children he migrated into a new section built grist & saw mills founded Millers Mills and left all his sons 40 acre sections on surrounding hill tops for their homes.
Sincerely yours (Mrs) Mary Miller Mallory

Commissioner of Pensions
Dear Mr Scott,
Will you kindly send me the full Revolutionary service of Andrew Miller born about 1732 in Germany and who died Dec 4 - 1803 at Miller Mills Herkimer Co. N.Y.
He married Margaretha Kets born about 1743 and died April 7 - 1816 Miller Mills Herkimer Co New York.
Also the full Rev. service of their son John who was born on bp. Sep 5 - 1760 at Churchtown Columbia Co. New York and which was earlier a part of Albany Co.
He died Nov. 29, 1838 at Miller Mills N.Y. married Dorothy Warner of East Greenbush Rensselaer Co. N.Y. formerly a part of Albany Co. She is said to have cut the family records out of the family Bible and forwarded them to the Pension Bureau and drew a Pension of $96.00 per yr.
If the records contain family data just how could I get a copy of them? I have the first record of Andrew Miller is the birth of son John at Churchtown 1760. Other children were there born and at Paudlake or Greenbush Rensselaer Co. then Albany

About 1791 Andrew Miller with sons and daughters and grandchildren from Penn. co migrated up the Mahawk Riv to Herkimer Co where he built mills and founded Miller's Mills As Andrew Miller commanded in Orange Ulster and Westchester as well as Albany Co. these counties adjoin and border the Hudson river and where Andrew Miller may have sojourned if he landed at New York where so many Dutch and Germans entered our country. Is he one and the same Andrew Miller who commanded in these different counties? I think a pen- sion application might state and give in- formation I could get from no other source.
The six sons of this doughty, patriarchal patriotic German Andrew Miller were John, Henry, Andrew, Jonas, Wm. & Jacob all said to have been in the service and all witnessed the surrender of Burgoyne at Saratoga.
I shall be grateful for any information you may kindly send me
Very truly yours

That during said War of the Revolution he lived in Greenbush opposite of Albany, N.Y. and served through said War in the Militia of the County.

Her said husband commenced serving in the Militia in the early part of said War and served therein until the close thereof.
