BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims, of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of Nathan Hoyt which require further proof or explanation.
I. Does the declaration show where the applicant resides? II. Did the declarant make the declaration in the county where he resides? 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? 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? no VI. Has he given the names of the officers under whom he served, in conformity with the regulations? no VII. Has he made a relinquishment of every claim to any other pension than the one under the Act of June 7, 1832? VIII. Has the Court given their opinion? IX. Has the Clerk given his certificate? 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? Seal not affixed correctly

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? none 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? 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? no And is the official character and signature of the magistrate certified by the proper officer under his seal of office? 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? no XVI. ‡ Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct? no 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 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 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 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.

Probate District of New Milford ss.
On this 3 rd day of October A. D. 1833 personally appeared in open court before the Court of Probate for said District now sitting at New Milford in said District and County Nathan Hoyt a resident of said New Milford aged Seventy nine years, 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 th 1832
That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers and served as herein stated -
He declares that in the year 1776 he resided in Newalk in Fairfield County in this State and was a private in the Militia Company in that Town - and that, in the month of July (as he only believes) of that year, perhaps it was as late as the first of August, he & the Militia Company to which he belonged were called into the service of the United States and marched to New York and there continued in service as a private soldier in said Company for the term of two months; he was there at the evacuation of

New York on the 14 th of Sept r (as he believes) in the year 1776. The Company was commanded at that time by Capt. Seth Seymour under whom the declarant served. Col. John Mead commanded the Regiment his brother Asa Noyst was a Lieutenant in the Company at that time and Uriah Raymond was an Ensign. James Crowley he believes was a sergeant in the Company at the same time. At the expiration of the time for which the Company was called into service and which your declarant verily believes was not less than two months , he, and the company were honorably discharged though he had not, (he believes none of the company had) any written discharge.
After his return from New York to Norwalk he continued in the same company which was commanded by the said Capt. Seth Seymour till about the 1 st of March 1777 when the said Seymour died and the company was placed under the command of Capt. Uriah Raymond who had formerly been an Ensign in said company. The declarant, and the company to which he belonged were called into the service about the 1 st of October 1776 but was

not much in actual service till about the first of March 1977 at which time the company was together with the declarant was placed in actual service and stationed at said Nor- walk and at Hoosuck in that vicinity for the purpose of guarding the coast on Long Island Sound and he, the declarant, was in the service of the United States as a private in said company until he left Norwalk about the 1 st of May 1980 having served over three years in said company on guard - In a former declaration which is now on file in the department, he stated (if he recollects right) that he enlisted into a company of Guards - In this he is satisfied on more mature reflection that he was mistaken and that the company was called out in the manner above described - He stated in that declaration, that he was every third night in actual service He did not mean to be understood by that allegation, that, that was all the service he per- formed during this time of service. The company was in actual service the whole time, and regularly inspected, drilled & exercised and what he meant by saying that he was in actual service every third night, was that he was placed on entry every third night, the company

was divided into three divisions or Platoons and they took their turns in standing Sentry one division or Platoon one night, another the next and so on in regular succession but were not excused from service & actually served on the intervening days - Col. John Head had the Command of the Regiment at that time - Genl. Silliman was a Superior Officer - James Crowley was a Sergeant in the Company - He has no documentary evidence of his services. He sends herewith as proof of his services the Affidavits of Moses Raymond, James Symmons, & Nathaniel Raymond who were with him in the service - He was born at Newalk upon the 17 th day of August 1754. When he resided when he was called into the service and when he continued to reside till about the first of May 1780 when he removed to S. Newmilford & has resided there ever since - The time of his birth is recorded on the Town Records of the S. Town of Newalk - In consequence of debility of mind as well as body; his advanced age & consequent loss of memory he is not able to state exactly precisely how he, & the Company were called into the service but knows that they were employed and paid by

The State of Connecticut - He never had any written discharge from the service He knows John Roberts, Eli Mygatt, Wil- iam Taylor, Samuel Lockwood & a number of other respectable persons in his neighborhood who can testify to his character for veracity & their belief of his services as a soldier in the the Revolution, but has not procured a certificate from either of them, having direct proof of his services and having annexed a certificate of citizenship to his former declaration on file in the Depart- ment.
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.

Sworn to & subscribed the day & year aforesaid and the said Court do hereby declare their opinion, that the above named  Applicant was a Revolutionary soldier, and as he states after the investigation of the matter & after putting the interrogatories prescribed by the War Department, that the above named Applicant was a Revolutionary soldier and served as he states

I once before took the same proof as a Notary Public & you informed me it must be done before the Court - I then referred you to a pay roll in the Pension Office deposited there by Judge Sams of Norwalk - You said that unless the name of the Office was given or the name of the Pension in whose name it was and it would be impossible to find it, and referred me to the Office of the Comptroller at Hartford for proof -

The Service except the settlement of their accounts & they are all returned in Gasp"
