State of Kentucky. Lawrence County Set.
On this 31 day of October 1832 person ally appeared before the Judge of the Laurence Circuit Court, now sitting as a Court in the town of Louisa, Gilbert Blumer of the said County State aged about 80 years and for the purposes of obtaining the benefit of the provisions of the act of Congress passed on the 17 th of June 1832 makes the following declar- -ation. That he was born on the 24 day of December 1752, as the record of his age was entered in his father's bible, who died in the State of New York and he knows not what has become of the bible, how- ever he entered the day of his birth in his own bible from that of his father. That he volunteered as a minute man in June 1775 in New Marlborough, Ulster County, New York. The date he is not certain of but he remembers it was before the British left Boston or came to the City of New York. He volunteered under Capt Samuel Clark, the Lieu- -tenant's name was Erwin. The Colonel's name under whom he was, was Paulding - who resided in Ulster County - He thinks the Major's name was Erwin, a Cousin to his Lieutenant. He was employed guarding Hudson river and had to move as the British shipping would move. He was frequently for a week at a time employed on the Chevau de frage across the Hudson river at New Windsor. He was frequently, when not employed in actual service, or the enemy should not be consid- -ered as about to do damage, employed ordered to work on Fort Montgomery, when he was compelled to work at different times as long as four months. In the Spring of the (the month of April) year that the British took the City of New York, he was marched by Col. Paulding into the state of New Jersey, on the opposite side

from the City of New York, and nearly in sight - opposite to Powell's Hook - here he was stationed for six months or thereabouts - being sometimes out on the Scout, and as such he was sometimes at New Ark and other places. From the immediate vicinity of New York he was marched to Totaway, near the Passaic Falls where the Army took up winter quarters - At this last place he was stationed - but was constantly sent out on scouting parties to Hackensack and many other places through the state of New Jersey. - In the April following he was marched back to New Marlborough and immediately from there to Shongum on the frontier of the state of New York as a guard against the Savages - here he remained eight or nine months. The Indians during the time committed no excesses but did in the following year - after being on the frontier as above stated, he was marginally back again to Hudson river and employed in guarding the said River to the end of the war; but during the winter months of every year, after his return  from the frontier he was sometimes permitted to go home and stay for several weeks & sometimes months at a time, but always subject to the call of his officer, and as soon as Spring would arrive and the ice break up, he was always in service until the succeeding winter. - He was born in New Marlborough, Ulster County New York about 80 miles from the City of New York where he resided until July 1793 when he removed to Roanoke in the State of Virginia - in which state he lived ten years and then removed to that part of Kentucky, which now included in Lawrence County, where he has resided ever since. - He got a discharge, which he thinks was signed by his Captain at the close of the war; but about four years ago, his discharge was burnt when his house was consumed. He further states that he has not at this time any documentary evidence and

Knows of no person by whom he can prove his service whose testimony he can procure. He is acquainted with Rev. Samuel Canterbury Esq. Col. Isaac Boett He hereby relinquishes Rev. Samuel & Lewis Ringleby Esq. every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present, and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the Agency of any state.

The amendatory declaration of Gilbert Blumer to his original Declaration made on the 31 st day of October 1832 for the purpose of being placed on the pension Roll under the act of Congress of 7 th June 1832. - He is  affirmed  that states that he was enlisted as a minute man and was under Capt Samuel Clark, he has stated in Lieutenants, Major Hol's names heretofore - as such minute man he went to work on the chevaux de frise at least as early as the 1 st day of April and continued to work on the same until the British  into and took possession of the City of New York which  he thinks was sometime in October until cold weather set in, he thinks the 1 st of November - He was then permitted to return home for quarters, but to be subject to be called out on a minute's warning - He continued in winter quarters until the 1 st of the following April when Col Paulding ordered the Regiment into service to meet at New Windsor in New York, County of Ulster - On the 1 st of April last named he met his same officers at New Windsor and was marched immediately to Hackensack in New Jersey, where our quarters were, though we were frequently out on scouting expeditions, in small parties but always returned to our quarters at Hackensack, where we continued there for six months - & until the British had commenced sending out very large parties - He was then marched to Totsaway falls in New Jersey, where he continued in camp and guarding the country until he cannot say what year this was, but it was whilst the British were in New York the following April on the 1 st of said last month named our Regiment was relieved by the Eastern Troops and were sent back to New Marlborough, in a few days not above three days after reaching New Marlborough, we were ordered out to guard the frontiers against the Indians & continued out against the Indians until the cold weather set in, in November and continued at home until the last of March or 1 st of April following, when he was again out under the same officers to guard Hudson River which he continued to the end of the war - He enlisted to serve for & during the war as a private and as such continued until it closed, when he was discharged

He is not positive, but thinks his discharge was probably signed by the Secretary of war - however it was handed to him by Capt Clark - He cannot state the year he entered service, but but it was the same year that the British took possession of the City of New York - When he left guarding the frontier, the Militia of New York took our place. He knew Genl Sullivan, Genl Greene, Genl Wayne, & Genl Clinton, the latter, he thinks, commanded in New Jersey, when he was there under Paulding. - By 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 altogether as a private - Indeed he would again remark that he enlisted under Capt Clark to serve for & during the war and continued in service until discharged at its close. For Seven months from 1 st Ap r to 1 st Nov.
For Six months at Hackensack.
For Six months at Tote away or Papine falls
For Seven Seven months guarding the frontier
& until the end of the war guarding Hudson River.
And for such service he claims a pension. He is informed that his claim is embraced by the Pension Law of 1828. The reason he never applied for a pension under the law of 1815 is that he was informed that he would have to swear he was not able to maintain himself and had but little property - He is now very poor and unable, from old age to work for a support.

 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.

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) _____ 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 [blank] and that C. D., who has also signed the same is a resident in the [blank] 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, (1) 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.
[k] The notes from [a] to [j] 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.
