State of Ohio Jefferson County
On this nineteenth day of August 1833 personally appeared in open court, before the Judges of the court of common
pleas now sitting, in and for said County, Ephraim J. Carle a resident of the same county and state, aged seventy five years past who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7th 1832.
That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers, and served as herein stated: That he was born in Sumner set County in the then Colony of New Jersey on the 23rd day of December 1757. That Early in the fall of the year 1776 (month not recollected) Declarant was drafted to serve one month in the Militia Army, and did serve the same under the Command of Captain William Beard, Col. Abraham Quick commanded the Regiment, and at Amboy when Declarant was discharged.
In the fall of the year 1776 and one month after performing the first hour of duty Declarant served one month as a drafted Militia man under the command of the said Captain William Beard. Col. Quick commanded the Regiment, with Lieutenant Col. Vandike. This duty was performed in the neighborhood of King and the time was employed in protecting the inhabitants from British and Loyal depredations, and also in preventing the Tories from taking supplies for the British Troops. All the Troops in the above mentioned service were Loyal Militia.
In the winter of the year 1776 (month not recollected) Declarant served one other hour of one month Militia duty as a drafted Militia man, at Newbridge in New Jersey. This service was performed under the above named Capt. Beard or Col. Quick, But which of them Declarant does not now rec- ollect. And the Regiment was commanded, he thinks by Col. Brannan or Brown. The militia companies were detached from each other, in this service, guarding different stations, and protecting the inhabitants from British and Tories, so that it seldom happened that a private knew the name of the commander of his Regiment. The Troops were all Militia. Horsemen as officers present.
In the month of November in the same year 1776: Declarant served one other month of one month Militia duty, as a drafted Militia man, in the Provincetown Regiment of Loyal Militia. This service was performed at Provincetown, and at the time General Washington was passing through New Jersey, on his route to the Delaware River, and was followed by the British Army. The Militia Troops to which Declarant belonged, marched on the night of Gen. Washington's army and came to the Delaware River, some miles above where Gen. Washington crossed, and on the expiration of the last mentioned service declarant was discharged or permitted to go home, as no written discharge in evidence given to declarant after the expiration of his said service at or near Shrewsbury on the Delaware.
In the spring of the year 1777 (month not recollected) Declarant served one other hour of one month as a drafted Militia man, at Schenck's mill, on Millstream river in Somerset County New Jersey, and as well as Declarant can recollect, under the command of Capt. William Beard. The British then lay at Brunswick, and the duty Declarant and the company to which he belonged was to perform waste prevent intercourse between the Tories and British, and to protect the inhabitants.

in the month of July. the same year that Gen. Washington retreated from the State of New-York to New-Jersey state, declarant was drafted and served one month at New-York, a private in the Militia, he thinks, under Captain Brice
In the month of October, as declarant thinks, for the inhabitants at that time were bringing up - from - Philip's to market, he was drafted and served one month as a guard at Hackensack bridge, the bridge across Hackensack river, under Capt. Moss or Capt. Stott, which the declarant does not now recollect
In the month of September 1779. the Militia living in the neighborhood of Declarant were called upon to do immediate Militia duty, and declarant, marched under the Command of Capt. William Brice, Lieut. Forman commanded the Brigade, this service was performed in marching from New-Lersey into Pennsylv- =vania, and declarant together with the Militia to which he belonged, was at the battle of German-town on the beginning of October 1779. in going to the battle of German-town, we marched all the night previous about break of day we heard the firing commencing at a distance from us of perhaps two miles, as we marched on we came across a picket guard. The British came from that across a large field, to a large house on a then they commenced firing upon us, and they killed one of our men. we crossed a mill pond about River deck in river, the company to which Declarant belonged was on the left wing of the army and did not get into the heat of the engagement, after crossing the mill pond we went through a huck-kest field and a rifle ball cut the buck wheat down close to my leg we got into the woods and there we were stationed, but not in firing distance of the enemy. We retreated and marched back to Pickenam Creek, we encamped on a high hill and there we were discharged
On the 20th day of May 1778. declarant was drafted to perform a four of Militia duty for nine months and did perform the whole term of said draft. This service commenced at Easttown in New-Lersey near to Philadelphia, under the command of Captain Bananger in Col. Ogden's Regiment and on the 28th day of June was in the battle of Brownstown. Recollects the retreat of General Lee, before the engagement, and the extreme heat of the day, remembers that on the night of the 28th of June the American's lay on their arms, expecting the next morning to renew the fight, but found in the morning, that the British had decamped; was discharged at Elizabethtown on the 20th day of February 1779. by Col. Ogden, in writing, which discharge declarant has lost.
Declarant was again drafted to serve one month later as a militia man in the fall of the year 1779. and did serve the same and as well as he can recollect Capt. Stott commanded the company to which declarant belonged, this service was performed at Springfield in New-Lersey, at which place there was but one company of Militia and were employed in guarding the inhabitants.
This Declarant further states, that he was often in addition to the above mentioned times of service, called out, during the war of the revolution, and did militia duty for several days at a time, but that these times, declarant, from age & infirmity cannot now recollect, he however claims a pension for the above mentioned hours of duty as a private, for eighteen months. - That he has no documentary evidence and that, he knows of no person, whose testimony he can procure, who can testify to his services - He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension, or an annuity except the present, and declares that his name is not on the pension Roll of the agency of any State.

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.

[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 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 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 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 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 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.
□ 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 [j] applies to continental troops only.
[k] This traditional evidence is indispensable in militia cases.
[l] If a witness cannot be found, the declarant must state the fact.
[m] The answers to the interrogatories must all be written, and sent to the War Department, with the declaration.

Will you please give me the data from the pension application of Ephraim Taylor Carle , or Carrell? He is listed in the first roster of Ohio Rev. soldiers and was living in that state, in Harrison Co, when he applied for his pension.
Respectfully,

P.S. May I also have the pension data from the application of Obadiah Hardesty whose pension was allowed in 1828? He was in the 1st Pa. Regiment? Rev. War.
I am anxious to get the names of these men' families and in the case of the first man I have been unable to obtain his war record until now that I find he applied for a pension. We believe he served in Capt. John Bairds Co.
