Declaration of Daniel Deming, in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress, passed June 7. 1832.
State of New York } Chautauqua County }
On this 12. day of October, 1832 personally appeared in open court, before the Judges of the court of Common Pleas, in & for said county, now sitting, Daniel Deming, a resident of Stockton, in the county, and state aforesaid, aged seventy one years on the 28 th day of March next, who being first duly sworn, according to law, doth on his oath, make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress, passed, June 7. 1832. That he entered the service of the United States, under the following named officers, and served as herein stated. About the 1. day of June 1778, he, then living at Sandisfield, Berkshire County Massachusetts, enlisted for the term of one month, under Sergeant French, and marched through Great Barrington, Canaan, & Schoharie to Albany, where he remained through the month, standing sentry at the Powder House, through that period, every other day. Being then but sixteen years of age, & having no acquaintance or familiar intercourse with his superior officers, he does not recollect them now, by name, but he knows & recollects Sergeants, French, & Barker, Daniel Brown fifer, & Lot Fuller a private, acquaintances of his. The day that he went into Albany, he remembers that a Continental Regiment, but the name of which he does not now recollect, marched out west. About the 1. day of July 1778 declarant & company was discharged by dismissal, in the manner in which militia companies are dismissed on parade days. He recollects that a company from Vermont, came into the city, immediately after the dismissal of declarant's company.
About the middle of May 1779, he then living at New Lebanon, Columbia County, New York enlisted for a period of four months & a half, under so. ner discharged, & served under Capt. Nobles of New Canaan, & Lieut. Samuel Rexford, of New Lebanon, & marched through Albany to Schoharie, & left the garrison there, under Col. Vroman, Declarant's company was divided, & a part stationed in the upper & a part in the lower fort. Declarant was in the upper fort, under Lieut. Rexford, where he remained about five or six weeks, when the whole company was marched to Fort Boies, at Cobleskill, & remained there about a month, when they returned to the lower fort at Schoharie, when in about a week, orders came

for them to repair to Albany. They had proceeded about half way when they were met in the woods, by an express, bringing counter orders, & they immediately returned to Schoharie & occupied the two forts, as at first, & remained there until sometime in September 1779, when they were again ordered to Albany, & after arriving there, were suffered to return to their homes, on furloughs, subject to orders to return at a minutes warning. After being at home a few days, orders came to raise a company to go to Fishkill & declarant, stood his draft, & was drafted about the first of October for three months service. This was previous to the expiration of his time, under Capt. No. Bles, but with his approbation he went, under Capt. Cady, Lieut. Rexford, (the same under whom he was at Schoharie,) & Ensign Olmsted; he marched through New Lebanon & Nine Partners, to Fishkill, where he joined the regiment, under Col. Waterman, & remained there on duty, until discharged by dismission in the manner above stated about the last of December 1779, & returned to his home, through a very deep snow, having served a continued period of about seven months, in the two last mentioned terms. While at Fishkill a continental regiment was stationed below, but the name of which he does not remember. He recollects Robert Pratt, a companion of his in both expeditions & Jonathan Baree a drummer, John French, & William Treat with him at Schoharie, & Ephraim Treat & Daniel Brown, with him at Fishkill.
Some time in June 1780, then still living at New Lebanon, declarant enlisted under Capt. Gilbert & Lieut. Rexford, & he believes Ensign Walker, & marched through Troy & Waterford, to Stillwater, & remained there about three weeks. Some American Troops were lying about eight miles further up the river, & declarant recollects that while at Stillwater, two deserters from those troops, were apprehended, with their horses, & that he & about four or five others, he thinks under Sergeant French, were sent with them to the American Camp. After about three weeks, & after the alarm, which had called them into the field had subsided, declarant was dismissed in the same manner as before stated. That he has no documentary evidence, & that he knows of no person, whose testimony he can procure, who can testify to his service. 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.
And in answer to the particular interrogatories of the court now here, he says,

1. I was born in Worthington, Connecticut, March 28 th 1762.
2. I have no record of my age, my family record, being burnt, with my dwelling house, several years since.
3. I was living in Sandisfield, when called into service, I have lived since the Revolutionary War, at Edinburgh, Saratoga County, until about the year 1821, when I removed to Penfield, Monroe County, N. York, & lived there till 1829, when I removed to Stockton, where I now live, & have since resided.
4. I was called into service by voluntary enlistment, except upon the Fishkill expedition, when I was drafted, although not then bound to submit to a draft, I considered therefore, that service as voluntarily rendered. I always served in person & never by, or as a substitute.
5. This interrogatory, is as fully answered in my above declaration, as my memory admits of answering it.
6. I never received any written discharge, but was dismissed in the manner stated.
7. I am known to Elder Baily, Newell Putnam & others, in my present neighborhood, & who I presume can testify as to my character for veracity & their belief of my services, as a soldier of the Revolution.

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 [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.

Dear Sir:
For use in gaining entrance to the Daughters of the Revolution and Sons of the Revolution by various members of my family I am very desirous of securing a transcript of the information contained in the pension claim of my great, great grandfather DANIEL DEMING, born at Kensington, Conn. on March 28, 1762 and who died at Stockton, Chautauqua County, N.Y. on 28th of October 1848.
He was a Private in Captain Elijah Deming's detachment from Col. Ashley's Regiment, and enlisted about June 4, 1778 and was discharged about July 15, 1778. He probably also had other service. He was living at Sandisfield probably at the time of this enlistment.
What is required is a full transcript of all papers in his pension claim and upon being so advised will send money to cover any expense involved. This transcript is to be incorporated in family genealogy now in the process of preparation, also.
Any courtesy extended in this regard will be very much appreciated. I might further add that I am employed as a Claims Adjudicator for the Veterans' Administration at the Cleveland Regional Office and am much interested in my ancestor's service from a patriotic standpoint.
Respectfully,
William F. Root.
