State of New Jersey. County of Hunterdon Co.
On this 8 th day of August in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty two before me court of common pleas of the County of Hunterdon now sitting personally appeared Samuel Porte a resident of the township of Annville in the County of Hunterdon and State of New Jersey aged 87 years who being first duly sworn According to law doth on her oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832. — I entered the service of the United States in the Revolutionary War. — I was born on the 10 th day of April old style in the year 1745 near Lambert in the County of Middlesex and State of New Jersey. I was 87 years old in April last. — My age was en- tered in a bible I had it in my possession some time, but it has been gone many years and I do not know what has be- come of it. — When I was first called out in the Militia of New Jersey in the Service of the United States in the revolutionary war. I lived in the township of Annville in the County of Hunterdon when I have lived ever since I. when I still live. — I first went out as a troop belonged to Col Cairn's company of Hopkirk's company of Militia I first went out as a Volunteer when the Militia was called in the year 1776 I think in the month of September under captain Joshua Coshman, and John Leggett I think was the Lieutenant David Chambers was our Colonel & William Chambers was our Lieutenant Col. of the Regiment, we were marched to Woodbridge in the County of Middlesex and State of New Jersey, and attached to a corps of the Continental troops called the fly- ing camp. there was not men enough —

interested. in our State to fill up that case I form of the Militia was attached to them to fill up the number with them we were marched backward & forward on account of alarms & to watch the British. About two weeks then we were marched to a place cal- led Thornton farm. Not far from Wood- bridge where we were stationed to guard a magazine of powder we staid there the month was out. then returned home and staid at home a month while the other Militia supplied our place then I was called out again under the Yarm officers. & marched to Thornton farm & remained there to guard the farm magazine. I staid the month out & then released home, I staid at home about a month & then was called & went out again, and continued to go out every time it came to my turn as long as the war lasted. - Whenever there was an alarm I went out under my own company officers. and whenever there was a call I went out under the other officers who were detached or at- tached. - a month at a time and these tours were generally every other month while the British were in this part of the United States. - I went out whenever it came to my turn then was to go. to the end of the war. - I was out under Captain Hoppock several times. when there was alarms & they called on all the Militia to go. & staid till the alarm or occasion of our army called was over. - I was out several times. one month at a time under Captain Johnson.

I was out a number of Times. a month at a time under Capt. George Ely before he was appointed a Col:
I was also out in the months seven under Capt. John Phillips. - When we went out. I always staid till my term was out. and I was discharged. -
I was in the Battle of Germantown I was then under my own captain Cornelius Hopstock, I w. were in Genl. Forman of the Militia from Monmouth County N. Jersey. -
I was at a Battle at. Vanhook miles on the Dunton  Muscogee in Somerset County New Jersey. I don't remember under which of the Captains. One of our Militia Men was killed there and John Paule of our company wounded General Dickinson commanded the Militia & Col. Triduth Talenheysen was there. - I believe the British army lay in New Brunswick & a part of them had come out to forage & plunder. We took from them all their Wagon & cattle & then they had taken & drove the British back. - It was in the Winter the Raritan was froze over but would not bear - General Dickinson rode there and broke the ice and the brought the Waggons over, we got them up the bank by hand. & brought them off. we did not get all their horses. -
I was up at. Pompton, and at Pyramus. - and at Raritan on the North River - but was not in any other battles than those I have mentioned - At the time of the Battle of Monmouth I was on the way going down to join

the Army & met the troops that had been then coming home. — — The Militia of New Jersey was some of them out all the time. after the British landed on Long Island. while they had posses- sion of New York. lay at New Brunswick with. and. on Staten Island, until after Cornwallis was taken. & they was at New York. — I was back ward & forward watching them.
I was out every time it came to my turn & on alarms besides as long as the war lasted — I never went out on an alarm or on a town when I was called. and altho' I cannot remember the number of times nor the officers I was with every time yet. I am satisfied that I was out altogether upwards of two years.
I hereby acknowledge every claim what- ever to a pension or annuity except the pension. and. I do declare that my name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any State or territory whatever.
Given & subscribed this 8 th day of August. 1832 in open court.

John Thompson Judge
Humboldt County Pa: Samuel Rowe. being duly sworn before the judges of the court of com- mon pleas in and for the County of Humboldt On his oath saith that he is well acquainted with Samuel Rowe the above named appli- cant. — that he lived a neighbour to him and was well acquainted with him in the Revolutionary war —

That the defendant was out on a loan of Militia duty with said Cook. The first time said Cook was out which was in 1876. They were both in our Miss. They were out that term under Capt. Josiah Cook and were attached. at that time to the Com of 5 months men called the flying camp to fill up deficiencies in their numbers the latter part of that term we were just off to guard the powder magazine at Thornlows farm. When out that month was out the other half of the Militia came down to take our place & we were discharged. The Militia never received any written discharge on those occasions but were discharged by verbal orders of our officers. After we had been at home a month we went out again & marched to the same place & took the place of the Militia who had relieved us. - at the end of the month we were relieved again by the other half of the Militia. While they were there in the course of the next month the British came to New Brunswick then there was a general alarm & call for the Militia & said Cook and myself were out under Captain born Hoppock, we marched down towards Princeton. I do not recollect how long we were out at that time the next time I recollect seeing him out in the service was after the Battle at Van- Nest Mills on Milestone he was out on that term & in the battle I went out when the other half of the Militia went to relieve them. I remem- ber as we were going down we met them on their return, I met them bringing home John Paul who was wounded in that battle

The first winter 1804 Corle and myself were out together. I lay along down the Raitan a month. I recollect seeing him out often afterwards when there was Alarm & all the Militia would go out at once. I recollect to have understood at that day that he was always out when it came to his Regular turn to go and always out on alarms. — and from what I know of of his being out at different times when I saw him & was out with him and what I heard him & others at other times of the neigh- bourhood say of his being out, I am of opinion that he was out as much two years or upwards. — At the time few of the Militia who went regularly when it came to their turn and on General Alarms that were not out more than two years.

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 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 (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 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 , 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 [i] 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. {

Madam:
I have to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim S. 979 it appears that Samuel Corle was born April 10, 1745(Old Style) near Cranberry, Middlesex County, New Jersey.
While a resident of Amwell Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey he enlisted in 1776, served at various times whenever called upon, to the close of the war, two years in all, as a private under Captains Joshua Corshon, Cornelius Hoppeck, George Ely and John Phillips and Colonel David Chambers in the New Jersey Troops and was at the battles of Millstone and Germantown.
He was allowed pension on his application executed August 8, 1832 while a resident of Amwell Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey.
There is no data on file as to his family.
The above noted is the only soldier by that name

found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau.
In order to make a proper search of said records for any particular soldier named Lambert, in addition to the full name, as much as possible of the following data is essential- approximate dates of birth and death, places of residence before and after service and given name of widow.
