Madam:

He was in Captain Cherry's Company under Colonel Cortland during General Sullivan's Indian Expedition and with said Company joined General Lafayette's Light Infantry Corps and was at the surrender of Cornwallis. He was discharged as a Sergeant from Colonel Reid's New Hampshire Regiment June 7, 1783.
He was allowed pension on his application executed September 4, 1832, while a resident of Lewiston, Niagara

County, New York, aged over 70 years. He died at said Lewiston July 26, 1840, leaving a widow, Rachel, who died there July 18, 1841.
In 1854 the surviving children were: George, John, Mary Hawkins, Paulina Cole, Richard, Benjamin (aged 38 years) and Sally Huetler.

BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims, of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of Dependence Colbreath of Lewiston May 1847 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.

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 has produced a witness or witnesses as to his service, has the magistrate who administered the oath certified that he, she, or they are persons of credibility? 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? 1st 2nd 3rd 7th
 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 the 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.
†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 affidavits must be properly authenticated, as above directed.
†QUERE XVI. Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticated 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 end 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.
