Hardinsburg Breckinridge Ky July 27 th 1836
J. L. Edwards Comr. of Pension
Sir. I some time since applied to the war department for a Pension for Barney Miller then of this County - And rec d a Certificate of Pension for said Miller for the sum of twenty three dollars and thirty three Cents - dated the 21 st day of August 1833 and numbered 19.287 - Payable at the Pension Office in Lexington Ky. Which Certificate is now before me. After receiving his pension under this Certif. I note several times he moved from this County to near Rockport Spencer County Indiana - where he informs me that he has attempted to get his name transferred from the Kentucky to the Indiana Agency. but as it appears from his statement as well as from a letter he shows me from you has been unable to do so on account of suspicion resting on the fact of his having signed his own name in making this Application when previously he had made his mark

As I am confident no fraud is attempted to be practiced on the Government knowing that the individual who now shows me the Certificate above described is the identical Barney Miller for whom I applied for the pension I take the liberty to apprise you sir. That Barney Miller can write & could write when he made application for his pension a legible hand but that he occasionally drinks too much when he cannot write his name well. or I think has some reluctance to write unless as a matter of necessity and it may it have been from some cause of this kind that his name was rewritten for him. I have no distinct recollection at this time of the reason he gave for not doing it but he informs me he had been drinking too much - which is very probably the fact - The old man who has the Certificate pointed out by letter to H. G. Pattridge Esq of the 22 nd June 1836 is the same man who drew the pension -
If these statements will have any tendency to remove all suspicion of fraud on the part of the Applicant - If you will name to me in what form they shall be presented to the Department. I shall take pleasure in making them in the prescribed form

BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims , of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of Barney Miller — 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? not correctly 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? a living witness XII. If the clergyman's affidavit has not been produced, is there any reason assigned for not obtaining it? no 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? yes 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? yes the Court have not , Has the proper officer certified to the official character and signature of the magistrate as the regulations direct? yes 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? yes XVI. ‡ Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct? authenticated XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not so answered? 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, 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 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.
