1 Come all my Brethren in distress Who in the Distant Land Such faithfully Christ's righteousness See by his Grace you stand.
2 You hear the Gospel Trumpet sound Take the alarm and fly Haste and now to Christ be gone Lest there be danger nigh
3 Be sure you follow Jesus here And on another line Then when our Saviour doth appear He'll take us up above
4 My little Flock I bid adieu Our parting is today I pray you all to Christ prove true And always watch and pray.
5 As if we never meet below Let us our Lamps prepare To meet when the last Trumpet blows And in his Glories Share

There is one Thing that wounds my Heart And grieves my Spirit sore To think we must in Body part Perhaps to meet no more
So now my Friends I bid adieu I love you dearly well And if I never more see you I bid you all farewell.
O fare you well my Friends I say And always faithful prove As we may meet in endless Day And dwell in endless Love.
We share with Christ in Paradise We shall forever dwell Still then let's pray both Night and Day And so dear Friends farewell.
Farewel, farewell, again I say With melting Hearts we part God make you faithful to the End Your Souls lies near my Heart.

O come ye arming Saints descend Be able to see what Angels do Come thirsty Souls and drink your fill And with me praise Emmanuel.
O come ye Sons of men and rise And raise your Voices above the Skies Where Saints and Angels sing & tell The Glories of Emmanuel.

1 Sure wicked Fools must needs suppose That God is nothing but a Name; Corrupt and lewd their Practice grows, No Breast is warm'd with holy Flame.
2 The Lord look'd down from Heav'n's high Tower, And all the Sons of men did view, To see if any won'd his Tower, Fams, Truth or Justice knew.
3 But all he saw were gone aside; All were degenerate, vain, and vain; one took Religion for their Guide, Not one of all the sinful Race.
4 But can these workers of Deceit Be all so tall and slender grown? That they will stand my certain But God's Almighty Power discern. How will they promote their work When he that Truth and them doth strike? For to the Righteous God is near; And never will their Cause forsake.

All men in vain with scorn oppose Those schemes which the good pursue; Since God a regime is for those Whom no just Eyes with servile views.
Would he his saving Power employ To break his People's servile Band; Then shouts of universal joy Should echo and through the Land.

1 As a Point I long to know, If I causes anxious thought, Do I love the Lord or no? Am I his or am I not?
2 If I love who am I then? Why the dull and lifeless frame. Surely sure can this be seen. Whoever in my heart has been.
3 Could my heart so hard remain, Unyielded to such a tender form, Every doubt give me pain If I have a genuine Love.
4 From him with Love within In a dark and humbled will Still with Unbelief and Sin Can I own myself a Slave.
5 When I love or have or read Sin is mixed with all I do, Ye who love the Lord indeed Tell me, is it so with you?

6 Yet I know my stubborn Will: But my Sin and Grace a Thrill: Should I have yet what I feel If I did not love at all?
7 Could I give the Saints to meet Than the Three Graces at best? Just a time the Sermons sweet If I did not love the Lord?
8 Lord since the doubtful case Those who are to fight him Have been in Book of Grace If I did not begin.
9 I have had the more and more Of love at all costs If I never will be Such as I begin today.

Most dear Friend and Country-man I imagine you desire to be happy here and here- after: you know there are a thousand - light- is round about this, almost; some of them per- haps you guess, but there are Multitudes which you can never think of. Never trust there- fore to your own Understanding in the things of this World, where you can have the advice of a wise and faithful Friend; nor dare venture the more important concerns of your soul, and your eternal Interests in the World to come, upon the mere light of Nature and the dictates of your own Reason; since the Word of God, and the advice of Heaven lies in your hands. Their own thoughts instead are these chil- dren of Pride, who chuse to turn Heathens in the midst of America; who live upon the mere delusion of Nature and their own Stock, when they have been trained up among all

The superior Advantages of Christianity, are the Blessings of divine Revelation and Grace.
Whatever your Circumstances may be in this World, still read your Bible as your best Treasure; and whatever be your Employment here, still look upon Religion as your best Business. Your Bible contains eternal Life in it, and all the Riches of the upper World; and Religion is the only Way to receive a Blessing of them.
To direct your Carriage towards God, converse particularly with the Book of Psalms; David was a Man of sincere and eminent Piety. To conduct aright among Men, acquaint yourself with the whole Book of Proverbs; Solomon was a Man of care, Caution and Wisdom. And to direct your Relations in both these, read the Epistle to the Ephesians, and the rest of Peter, with the rest of James, John, and those more
immediately suited to the Christian Life.
To a Man maintain strict Temperance and Sobriety, be a wise Government of your Affections and Passions; and a Slight or influence and encase all around you to be your Friends as a Son, for and various made up of, Friends and Servants; and let the Poor have a certain share in all your earthly Possessions. As a Master, keep that golden Sentence of our Saviour ever before you, Whatsoever you would that Men should do unto you, do you also unto them.
In every Affair of Life, begin with God. Consult him in every thing that concerns you. Love him as the Father of all your Blessings, and all your Life, as your best Friend and your eternal Saviour. Settle on him in this World with a continual regard of your Heart in him, and a daily Searcher of your self for the things that love him most sincerely, that you love him

with sincere Delight, and that that you cannot live a Day without you in the World.
Make Prayer a Pleasure and not a Task, and then you will not forget nor omit it. If ever you have lived in a praying manner, never let it be your Fault if you do not live in it always. I knew that Day, that Hour, and Minute - a red wasted and lost night any private business would bring you to have lost the Great Worth of the Church, the certain and constant Duties of the Church, or any necessary services for God, and Godliness. Beware lest it should be a burden, and not a Pleasure. If God had not reserved me for in- seven, I myself, I have known what have been lost out of the world.
Remember that the Honour which comes from God, the Affection of Heaven and your own conscience, is infinitely more va- luable than all the Honour or Displeasure of Men. Do not venture one Step out of the
Road of Heaven, for Fear of being laughed at for walking strictly in it. 'Tis a poor religion that cannot stand against a jest.
Keep this thought ever in your Mind, 'Tis a World of Vanity and vexation in which you live; the Flatteries and Promises of it are vain and deceitful; prepare therefore to meet Disappoint- ments. Many of its Occurrences are vexing and vexatious. In every suffering Storm without, possess your Spirit in Patience, and let all be calm and serene within. Clouds and Tempests are only found in the lower Air; the Heaven a- bove are ever bright and clear. Let your Heart and Soul dwell much in their serene Religions, live as a Stranger here on Earth, but as a Cit- izen of Heaven if you will maintain a Soul at Ease.
Our work is not with you such a sense of the blessedness of every thing in this Life.

Life, and of Life itself, as to put nothing off till tomorrow, which you can conveniently do today. Dilatory Persons are frequently exposed to Sur- prise and Hasty in every thing that belongs to them: The time is come, and they are unpre- pared. Let the concerns of your Soul, your Shop, your Trade, and your Religion lie al- ways in such order, as far as possible, that Death at a short Warning may be no occasion of a disgusting Tumult in your Spirit, and that you may escape the Anguish of a bitter Repentance in a dying Hour. Farewel.

State of Kentucky
Pulaski County Court Set
On this 16 th day of September in the year of our Lord, One Thousand eight hundred and Thirty Three. Personally appeared in open court, before the County Court of Pulaski County State of Kentucky, now sitting as a court, William Barrow, a Resident of Pulaski County State of Kentucky aged Seventy One years, the 8 th day of January 1833. 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 7 th 1832. that he entered the service of the United States, under the following named Officer, and served as herein stated, that while a Citizen of Guilford County North Carolina, in the month of August or September 1780, he was drafted as a Militia man for a Three months Term in the Company of Captain George Pearce. Robert Moore Lieutenant that the Company was attached to and made a part of the Regiment of Col o Moore, according to his present Recollection, after the Company was rendezvoused, we were marched to the Waxhaw Settlements and were occasionally separated and detached into small parties, and served in detachments at several places in South Carolina in scouting & spying we were under the command of Gen d Rethusna until Gen d Gates Defeat. we were then under Gen d M c Davidson was in during the time no General engagement with the Enemy, but was in several such engagements and skirmishes as are incident and common to scouting parties. he served out fully the Three months, for which he was drafted, and was regularly discharged at a place called New Providence, as he now thinks in the State of South Carolina. he Received a discharge in

Washing, but by whom signed, he does not now recollect, and which discharge long anterior to this, has been lost afterwards. Still a Resident of said County of Guilford and immediately after the Battle of the Cowpens, in the latter part of the month of January 1781, he volunteered in the company of Captain John Walker, the Lieutenant's name was James M'Raney. We were under the Command of Col o Pacey of Guilford County North Carolina after being rendezvoused, we were marched, by order of the Commanding Officer, or by order of Government, to stationed at a public store, located at Col o O'Neel, according to my present recollection, in the upper edge of Orange County. North Carolina to guard and protect the said public store, the British forces under Cornwallis were then at Hillsborough, in said State, and the Tories were encamped at different places, some encampments not exceeding ten miles from the said store, that while he was stationed at the store aforesaid, he was generally engaged in scouting to discover & over awe the Tories and protect said store from the British & Tories, and in about two weeks after he was stationed at the store, while on a scouting party ordered out by his Captain, he was taken a prisoner of war by Col o Tarleton's Dragoons, and at the time he was taken he received a wound on his shoulder and on the side of his head, and at which time his Lieutenant was killed, that he was in confinement under the British fleet as a prisoner of war, from the time he was taken, until the latter part of the month of August of the year 1781 about three months of which time, he was confined on board of the British fleet, at the time he was on board, lying at Wilmington North Carolina, and was while on board of said

Fleet. liberated. By an exchange of British and American prisoners, and he arrived at home, about the first week in September 1781. he cannot say with exact precision how long he was engaged in this last service, but from the time he entered the service, until he was discharged as a prisoner of war. the time was not less than Seven Months, and after he was discharged he was not less than two weeks, engaged in travelling home, He received no discharge in writing, while in Confinement as a prisoner of war. he was in the custody of a corporal of the British under the command of Com d Craig. I was Born in Brunswick County State of Virginia, on the 8 th day of January 1762.
There is a Record of my age, now in the possession of Aaron Barrow my Brother. a Resident of Pulaski County Kentucky. which he has no doubt is correct when called in to the service. I was living in Guilford County North Carolina. I lived after the Revolutionary war in North Carolina, until the year 1789. when I removed to the State of Kentucky, Resided a while in Franklin County, and since the year 1802. he has lived in the County of Pulaski. where he still resides all the time at the same place of residence ————— I was called and entered the service, as I have stated in my Declaration in Guilford County North Carolina. I have stated the names of all the officers, whose names I recollect, who were with the troops, where I served together with the general circumstances of my service. I received a discharge from the service, for the Three Months Term, as stated in my Declaration, but do not know by whom signed, which has long since been lost

the said William Barrow further states that he has no documentary evidence whatever of his services, and knows of no person, whose testimony he can procure who can testify to his services, except he can prove  circumstantially and except Aaron Barrow his wife who were at the time Small's Young, and by whom he can prove he rendered services to the United States and was engaged as a soldier in the Revolutionary war but how long they do not know. He is known to James Cooper a Clergyman, residing in Pulaski County Kentucky & Ebenezer Cumpston, residing in the same, residents of his neighbourhood, who can testify to his character in the vicinity and  their belief of his services as a soldier of the Revolution. He hereby relinquishes 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 or Territory.

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.

[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) _____ 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 day 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 he 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 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 [e] 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.
[t] 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. }

Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request to know whether or not the Veterans Administration can furnish you an outline genealogical history of the Barrows family from earliest time, including the Revolutionary War, and down to the close of the Civil War, especially of those members of the family who went as far west as places in Ohio as early as 1796. You state that your great-grandfather, William Barrows, with his family and his brother, Ebenezer Barrows, settled in the Hocking Valley near the Ohio River, that your grandfather, Jacob Barrows, served in the War of 1812, and that your father, Bradley P. Barrows, and five of his brothers, served in the Civil War.
The Veterans Administration has no general genealogical data on file and no clerical force assigned to genealogical research. In some instances, reference is made in claims for pension to the families of the soldiers. Such claims are the source of information furnished by this office in regard to the soldiers of the various wars.
It is impossible to comply in full with requests which require such extensive research and much time.
The record has been found of a William Barrow who served in the Revolutionary War and went to Kentucky, and of a Jacob Barrows who served in the War of 1812 from Ohio. Their records are furnished you herewith. No Revolutionary War or War of 1812 claim for pension is on file based upon service in either war of an Ebenezer Barrow or Barrows.
→ Your letter has been referred to the proper division for reply in regard to Bradley P. Barrows, Civil War soldier. The records have been searched under all the full names given by you. 71.2.459721

It may interest you to know that you may examine and collect data from Revolutionary War and War of 1812 claims for pension, and from certain others, in accordance with office regulations, by calling at this office, or you may designate some responsible research worker to do the work for you. This is the usual procedure in matters of extensive research. Every effort will be made to aid you, or your representative, should you call.
The Revolutionary War and War of 1812 pension records are in the Navy Building, 19th and Constitution Avenue, N. W., this city, in Room 1851 of that building.
Your letter has been referred to the proper official for reply in regard to the Civil War soldier.
