She states further, that she has often heard her said deceased husband speak of his services, Officers, &c. &c.; but her recollection on the subject is too imperfect to enable her at this late day to give a minute detail of the same; and she deems such detail on her part more unnecessary, as her said husband was, for several years previous to his death, a pensioner under the act of "June 1832", on the roll of the Kentucky agency; and con- sequently his own declaration of his services, Offi- cers &c., and the testimony, added by him in support of his said declaration are on file in the War Office at Washington City; and to these she begs leave to refer, and to make the same a part of this her decla- ration.

BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims , of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of Ebenezer Beal  of Hopkins Co. Kentucky 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? no
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? no
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? no
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?
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?
XVI. ‡ Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct? yes
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, 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.

Sir
The additional testimony in the case of Drusilla Baldwin claiming a pension under the Act of July 7 th 1838 has been examined and is here with returned entire. To acquire any validity as testimony evidence before this Department the proceedings before the Magistrate must be submitted to and confirmed by a Court of Records duly organized and acting as such. A single Magistrate who is ex officio a member of a Court of Record consisting of five doesn't for the purposes of to which the proceedings in question refer constitute the Court as the publicity of the declaration is a point of material moment.

Sir:
As Drucilla Baldwin was not a widow at the date of the passage of the act under which she claimed a pension, to wit, 7 July 1838, and did not survive the passage of the joint Resolution of the 3 rd of Mch. 1851, her heirs are not entitled to anything in her right under that act.

Sir,
Pension Office June 17 th 1843
The papers in the case of Priscilla Baldwin alias Trigg claiming pensions under the acts of 7 th July 1838 and March 3 d 1843 have been examined and placed on file. The declaration under the act of 7 th July 1838 is informal having been made before a justice of the peace instead of a Court of Record in open Court as required by the regulations of this department. This rule cannot be waived except in case of bodily disability when the declaration may be made before a Judge of Justice Court of Record, he certifying the fact of disability. The declaration under the act of March 3 d 1843 is without date except as to the year and wants the certificate of the magistrate stating that he knows the claimant. In addition to the above there is no proof of the time of the marriage apart from the claimants own statement. It is indispensable to establish the date of the marriage

if possible by public or private record evidence or documentary testimony and it is only when satisfied that neither of the above can be had that the depart ment can receive parole testimony of the clearest and most explicit charac ter.

Respected Sir
I rec d your printed formula, & I should regret very much, if I was not sufficiently understood by you in all my letters, as well advised that in a great part of the intelligence I sought, it was not your ex officio duty to give, but entirely extra, & that I was truly grateful for it. The Hon. G. Casey, my own Ill es Mr. C. in the midst of all his kind acts to me, threw aside the "Jan'y 43" letter, which kept Leah Francis case so long back - There is a new case here, as Mrs. Hannah Alexander of Graves County, Ky. who was 1 st married to a Revolutionary soldier, then to a man, who was no soldier, & 3 rd to Ebenezer Alston, who died as soldier - never drew any pension - I see the Senate granted 3 pensions by memoria to a W fe , who had married 3 soldiers - without a "resun: rectis de mortuis" unless we could "raise the dead" we can't, in many cases, go beyond the W fe s own oath, as to the marriage - Ebenezer Alston's name (I presume) will be found in the books - Unless the provision in the old Law Secy of War for the soldiers, he adopted - namely "that in the case of total impotency to go to Court, the S.P. may swear them in a domiciliary way, by certifying this inability under his hand - they must, many of the witnesses fail. Orville Baldwin's lately sent on by me, is one, certifying her entire incapacity to appear in Court.

I hope the papers have been Rec d - I anticipated their arrival, by getting a priori, & sending on full proof, taken before Aguirre W m Green, my bro-in-law of Henderson County - of Henry Baldwin - the brother of the late Rev d Baldwin, the husband of Drusilla B., proving the marriage distinctly - There is another case in Caldwell Co. - Mrs. Anne Beck, alias Crow, widow of the late Thos. Beck, who married said Anne Crow on the "20 th Dec r 1792". Thos. Beck's Certificate was carried up to me near 40 miles shewing that he was a pensioner - (as well as I can recollect) but they taking it for granted that extra proof - 1000 (say) miles off in N.C. was a "line guide" I wrote to them to send on her own proof - and (perhaps) they did so latterly - With every regard for you (no doubt) multiplied engagements, I will hope to hear at yr. best convenience - Most respectfully

My dear Sir:
Some time ago I wrote you about some old Rev. soldiers of Henderson Co. Ky. About one William Frazier who died here in 1837. He made application for pension in 1824 from the pages of first O. B. comes this record. I find from the old church records that he had a son William Jr. and a wife Mary who joined the Graves Creek Church, the first in the county, in 1811 and his son in 1812. He was told to write back to the Co. in Va. from whence he came about his pious life. This old fellow was on the pauper list in 1824 of Henderson, Co. The records here show he was receiving a pension from the Government and the date of his death should be on file with something about his family and service. You asked for the wife's name in order to identify our William so I have it and hope that you will be able to give me this data.
o William Turpin was also on this list have you any further data about him, his death etc?.
o Pierce Noland made application in 1824 for pension and received a pension of 30 a month. He also has on file a military land warrant No. 1855 dated 1789 granted to Pierce Noland from Berkley Co. Va.

He was given a military warrant No. 1835 for three years service as Lt. in Va. Line Nov. 28 1883. 26663/4 acres record on file in Frankfort , Ky.
Does your pension files give any thing further of him and his death that will give proof that he died and is buried in our Co.
John Ramsey of S. C. militia and his wife were living here in 1847 as paupers on the county. He received a pension and died here .
Have you anything of him on your files? Our county court records say he was a poor old Rev. soldier.
Sons of American Revolution give him and Edwin Baldwin as living here in 1847 they must have been quite old. any information you may give me will be gratefully received and will help us to honor these old men the patriots who helped to build our empire and also helped to serve you in that this Department is kept up by the people for such service and that warrants you and all your assistants a salary for which any one of us would be grateful today don't you think? I am doing my bit now by helping as County chairman for the Women's Division of N. R. A.
Cordially yours.

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of William Frazier, William Turpin, Pierce Noland, John Ramsey and Edward Baldwin, all of Henderson County, Kentucky, and all pensioners.
As stated in letter to you on March 22, 1930, the records of this office do not show claims for pension or bounty land on file based upon service in the Revolutionary War of William Frazier, as described by you, or of William Turpin and Pierce Noland. The land and pension to which you refer may have been granted by the state of Virginia.
The records of one Edward Baldwin or Bauldwin , of Kentucky and a John Ramsey have been found and are given herewith as shown in the respective claims for pension based upon their services in the Revolutionary War.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER Assistant to Administrator.

John Ramsey S.31318
John Ramsey, the son of Robert, was born in 1758 in Craven (later Lancaster) County, South Carolina.
While residing in said Craven County, he enlisted sometime in 1775, served at various times on short tours until 1781, about ten months and three weeks in all as a private under Captains John Barclay, James Montgomery, Henry Coffee, Colonels Kershaw and Davie in the South Carolina troops, and was at the siege of a fort on Congaree, at the battle at Colonel Thompson's, at the battle of Hanging Rock and in two battles on the east side of the Catawba River. He stated that on one tour, he served as a substitute for his uncle, James Moore.
After the Revolution, he moved to the state of Tennessee and lived for some time, then lived in Union and Hopkins Counties, state not given.
He was allowed pension on his application executed February 13, 1832, while residing in Hopkins County, Kentucky; in March of same year, he was residing in Henderson County, that state.
It is not stated that soldier was ever married.
In 1833, he referred to his brother, Alexander Ramsey.
There are no further family data.
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, the name and address of person paid and possibly the date of death of the Revolutionary War pensioner, John Ramsey(S.31318), you should address the Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, citing the following data:
John Ramsey, Certificate No.13660, issued May 30, 1833, rate $35 per annum, commenced March 4, 1831, Act of June 7, 1832, Kentucky Agency.
