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) _____, who has 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 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 fall to 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, among 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 [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.

Sir:
POLICE REC. In disposing of this case, if the Examiner is indisposed to prepare a decision of three lines over your signature, perhaps he will kindly endorse the claim: "Rejected. No law." I can then prepare my own exception and find some process to lift the case out of the division. The little slip containing section 4718 may do to defeat some claims, when sent to the country; but this claim is not based on that law, or on any part of it. I ask that this small amount be paid out of the current appropriation, made by the act approved March 1, 1889, as authorized by existing law, which I have repeatedly brought to your notice. Upon your refusal, I will appeal.
Respectfully,
S. R. Downey.

April 26, 1890
Sir:
I except to each of the paragraphs of your letter of April 21 and, also, to that which I am left to infer, namely, that you refuse to pay the residue of pension to the widow's son.
You say to me: " You can not be recognized in a claim for reimbursement." I think I can. You may mean that I will not be. For that I know no reason. If the laws afford a reason, you can, perhaps, point to it. I continue to have my legal rights as an attorney. Your Bureau has found how little it has to do with reimbursement beyond a mere calculation of the amount due and unpaid. I

did not ask you to reimburse client, or myself. The claim is for a small balance, which a poor man has a right to receive from you directly on proof (as prescribed December 22, 1829,) that he is a son and heir.
As late as day before yesterday, through the Finance Division, you were saying "that payment of the accrued pension due in the case x x x can not be made to x x as the son of the pensioner, he being over sixteen years of age at the date of death of the (widow) pensioner." It happened in that instance that the widow died June 22, 1873, and the Revised Statutes of 1874 was, or were, approved exactly one year later. In any tribunal but the Bureau of Pensions, his vested right would

be promptly and cheerfully recognized. While acting every day upon cases which contain accrued and vested rights and allowing them because they have accrued and become vested , you evade a claim like this on the plea that section 25 absorbed all the long line of unrepealed provisions, section 39 obliterated the common law and all statutes giving rights to adult children and then section 4718 absorbed section 25. You have not ventured to indicate why this all happened, when only things "inconsistent or in conflict" are ever repealed by implication and then not until reasonable effort has been made to harmonize and reconcile the provisions. Perhaps you do not care to harmonize and reconcile. Section 4718, on a

small scrap, is convenient to tear out to a remote country district to puzzle a poor man into an abandonment of his humble claim.
If the Commissioner could see some of the communications which go out over his signature to remote claimants, he would, perhaps, sit up at night to read his letters before allowing them to seem to speak for him.
In this case, I am not recognized. The communication is equivalent to a rejection . I do not ask reasons . As you do not state your position , I am left to assume it to be this: Section 4718 of R. S. of 1874 wiped out all previous provisions . It

provides for the disposition widow's pension at her death. It can be paid to the child, or children, who were "under sixteen years of age at her death and to no one else . The child must have been not over sixteen years of age at her death ; because that provision was in section 25 before it was absorbed and repealed and reads: at the time of his death." As the Third Auditor expects you to pay up to majority , before he considers the money forfeited, there is a hiatus of five years . This you will probably bridge by the appropriation act of March 1, 1889, which contains some provisos to

settle the vexed question of assets growing out of the payment by check. The proceedings in Congress and the face of the act show that what you call an amendment, was inserted as a Treasury regulation to define the meaning of section 4765 and not as an amendment of section 4718. As that is not a permanent statute, it may not last long. Suppose the law allows payment to a "child" who is a minor, even one under sixteen; where is the limitation of age to twenty-one? Your section says: "Such accrued pension x x shall inure ." That means all that the act of 1840 was held to mean? I except to your decision in the case, that I may appeal . Respectfully,
S. R. Downey.

1 8 1 Perry ACCRUED PENSION: WHEN PAID: TO WHOM PAID.
CHAP. 28.—An Act making provision for the payment of pensions to the widow or children of pensioners, in certain cases, and for other purposes. Approved, March 2, 1829.
SEC. 1. Be it enacted, etc. That in case of the death of any invalid pensioner, before the certificate of the continuance of his disability * * * was obtained, it shall be lawful for the Secretary of War, and he is hereby directed, to pay to the legal representatives of such deceased invalid the arrears of pension due at the time of his death, etc.
SEC. 2. And be it further enacted , That, whenever any revolutionary pensioner shall die, the Secretary of War shall cause to be paid the arrears of pension due to the said pensioner at the time of his death; and all payments, under this act, shall be made to the widow of the deceased pensioner, or to her attorney; or, if he left no widow, or she be dead, to the children of the pensioner, or to their guardian, or his attorney; and, if no child, or children, then to the legal representatives of the deceased.
(See the appropriation act of March 1, 1889, just sixty years later.)
CHAP. 126.—An Act supplementary to the "Act for the relief of certain surviving officers and soldiers of the revolution." Approved, June 7, 1832.
SEC. 4. And be it further enacted , That * * in case of the death of any person embraced by the provisions of this act, or of the act to which it is supplementary, during the period intervening between the semi-annual payments directed to be made by said acts, the proportionate amount of pay which shall accrue between the last preceding semi-annual payment and the death of such person, shall be paid to his widow, or, if he leave no widow, to his children.
(No limitation of age appears.)
CHAP. 17.—An Act making provision for the payment of pensions to executors or administrators of deceased pensioners in certain cases. Approved, June 19, 1840.
SEC. 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled , That in case any male pensioner shall die, leaving children, but no widow, the amount of pension due to such pensioner at the time of his death shall be paid to the executor or administrator on the estate of such pensioner, for the sole and exclusive benefit of the children , to be by him distributed among them in equal shares and the same shall not be considered as a part of the assets of said estate , nor liable to be applied to the payment of the debts of said estate, in any case whatever. (See the concluding clause of sec. 25 of the act of March 3, 1873, R. S., sec. 4718.)
SEC. 2. And be it further enacted , That in case any pensioner who is a widow, shall die, leaving children, the amount of pension due at the time of her death shall be paid to the executor or administrator for the benefit of her children, as directed in the foregoing section.
SEC. 3. And be it further enacted , That in case of the death of any pensioner, whether male or female, leaving children, the amount of pension may be paid to any one or each of them, as they may prefer, without the intervention of an administrator.
CHAP. 247.—An Act supplementary to an act entitled "An Act to grant pensions," approved July fourteenth, eighteen hundred and sixty-two.
SEC. 10. And be it further enacted , That if any person entitled to an invalid pension under the provisions of the act granting pensions, approved July fourteen, eighteen hundred and sixty-two, has died, or shall hereafter die, while an application for such pension is pending, and having a widow or dependent relative entitled to receive a pension by reason of his service and death, as provided in said act, then the pension to such widow or other person shall commence from the date at which the decedent's invalid pension would have commenced had he survived, subject to the conditions of this act, and the act which this is amendatory.
Approved, July 4, 1864.
These provisions of statutes survived the late war and, with the common law defining the right of children to inherit from their parents and explaining the meaning of the words "legal representatives," and "personal representatives," constituted the law on the subject. Ten years after the last date above given (namely, June 22, 1874,) the act consolidating fragments of acts into "Revised Statutes," as of December 1, 1873, was approved. That code of scraps has been taken and accepted by some persons as a finality and in a recent letter the Commissioner of Pensions has said: "Under the provisions of section 5596, Revised Statutes, section 4718 of the Revised Statutes must be regarded as repealing the act of June 19, 1840, and, therefore, that section, as amended by the act of March 1, 1889, is now the only law providing for the payment of accrued pension." That remains to be decided. The contrary may be easily demonstrated. 8

daughter as a "Real Daughter of the American Revolution," and am desirous of getting all the data possible concerning Micah Perry. Will you

Mr. G. V. Perry Sir enclosed please find pp 10. Pension. you write that your mother wants I should send her certificate. It is not consistent for me to send it as I must have it to make out the papers from, one in 6 months. Your mother, probably has no notion of dodging her bargain with me after I have got her so much money for & done so much business for her for nothing. I have no fears that she would think of doing any such thing, she has too much honor, besides I could stop that Pension in five minutes, by informing the Department of one quirk in the evidence. I think she never would have any idea of dodging an honorable bargain if she is not ill-advised & I don't believe she will any way, it would be a cold shot to the whole of the pension.

Mr. Geo. V. E. Perry
West Concord Ap. 8 th 1861
Sir, I sent a pension paper as usual a month since, which has not been returned, I write to inquire whether it has been sent back or not, if not, I wish you would have it sent forthwith, If she has been induced dishonorably to try to dodge an honorable bargain. I want you should send back that paper & write that we may know what course to pursue. In that event we shall be likely to appropriate her back pay which has been allowed by the Court of Claims & which we have her Power of Attorney to draw, which will be good so far, And then if we can get the whole claim suspended on account of fraud in the evidence, that will be good for the rest of it. But I have a better opinion of your Mother, yet, than to believe that she would undertake to forfeit her reputation for a few dollars, I think if she was dissatisfied with herself it would be more like her, or any other stock of the Capt. Jon s Woodbury family, to try and get an honorable compromise first, Try every honest means before she would steal. If I had paid a $100, & failed to establish her claim

I should hate to have stood it; & probably should have done so without whining. & I believe yet, that she will Please write soon as you get this And oblige

Hon. Jos. H. Barrett,
Commissioner of Pensions.
Sir. I have just recd. through Charles H. Potter Esq. Pension Agent for the State of Maine, a copy of a letter written by you to him, in relation to the transfer of the payment of the Pension of Mrs Susannah Perry from the Vermont Agency to the Maine Agency, and asking for an explanation of the course taken by Mr. H. G. Frye. I am the Atty of Mrs Perry, and am informed by Mrs Perry that the facts are simply these-
Her husband drew a pension. After his decease she employed said Frye to assist her in getting her pension, & agreed to pay him for getting her name entered upon the Pension roll, and for drawing it from year to year for five years, ten dollars a year. That he did the business and drew the pension from year to year for the term of five years, and he kept for his services ten dollars a year as was agreed. That she was under no obligation to employ him any more than the five years - that she has repeatedly sent to said Frye to send her her Pension certificate but he refuses to do it. That she knows of no other reason why said Frye should write you that her pension should be suspended. As evidence of what I have stated above, I enclose two letters written by said

For to Geo. P. Perry of Bingham, the son with whom Mrs Perry now lives -
They both seem to have been writing for the purpose of frightening Mr Perry, and preventing her from employing any one else. The "quirk in the evidence" which he speaks of, is something that she knows nothing about.
The payment that was due the first of March last, she has not recd and she wishes to receive it through the Maine Agency.
The letter dated April 8th 1861,
speaks of appropriating her "back pay which has been allowed by the Court of Claims". Will you be kind enough to inform me whether or not any claim for back pay has been allowed Mrs Perry, and if so what amount.
I do not believe that there is any good reason why Mrs Perry should not have her pension and through the Maine Agency. Mr Foye, I am informed, was well acquainted with Mrs Perry and her husband when he was alive, and I think always drew his pension for him and if there is any fraud in the evidence, Mr. Foye is the guilty one - Mr Perry would like to have the enclosed letters returned if they will be of no use to the Department.
Yours respectfully
O. H. Bachelier
P.S Any other information desired will be cheerfully given if in my power.

Augusta July 12. 1861
Sir,
I send at your request and for the information of the Department the enclosed papers just received from Mr. Bacheller, the Attorney of Mrs. Perry, in aid of her application for a transfer from Vt to this Agency. The accompanying letters of her late Attorney, Mr. Frye, will doubtless have, as they ought, their due weight with the Department. They cannot fail, I think, to satisfy you that the anticipated loss of the petty sum of ten dollars per year, is the sole sordid consideration that induces him to retain the original certificate and to suggest the obviously false intimation of fraud for the purpose of intimidation and enforcing a compliance with to his terms.
Yours Respectfully Charles F. Potter. Pension Agent
