(3) BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims, of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of Carey Headley 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? has he VI. Has he given the names of the officers under whom he served, in conformity with the regulations? 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?

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? 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? Yes XIV. † If the applicant's name is not found on the rolls of military service, has he produced a witness or witnesses as to his service? If he has produced direct proof as to service, has the magistrate who administered the oath, certified to the credibility of the witness or witnesses? Has the proper officer certified to the official character and signature of the magistrate as the regulations direct? 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? XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not so answered? 6
 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 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 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 shewn 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.
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 authenticates 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 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.
In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, 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.

Sir
I enclose herewith a leaf which I clipped from the Bible of Isaac Headley the oldest Son of Gary and Mary Headley by permission of his wife he not being at home it shows that he was Born Augt 5 th 1788. The writing on the other side relates to his children. and the wife of Isaac Headley told me the writing was her husbands. Isaac Headley. The children of Gary Headley are eleven to wit. Isaac Sally Huldah Experience Phebe Francis Rachel Mary Gary Susanna & Catharine all living except one. I have been well acquainted with Francis the 6 th child for 34 years and from his own statements and his appearance and size when I first knew him I am well satisfied he is now 48 years old The age of the children can be proven but it will be with considerable trouble. The case I think admits of know doubt. you will therefore Pleas Issue a pension certificate to Mary Headley payable at Wheeling Va.
Respectfully
Jer' Hollister

I have to state in reply to your letter of the 2 nd inst. that Mrs Mary Headley a Pensioner on the roll of this Agency under act of July 9 1848, has been paid up to the 11 th March 1857.
Very respectfully Your obed't Servt Wm J Howard Gen. Agt.

A. D. Hiller Executive Assistant to the Administrator. Washington D.C. Dear Sir,
I appreciate and want to thank you for the data received, obtained from the Revolutionary War claim for pension W. 4741 of Carey Headley.
Isaac Headley a son of Carey had the following children.
John C. Headley born May 30, 1813. William " " Oct. 6, 1815. Hendan? H. " " Nov. 21, 1819. Benjamin " " Feb. 14, 1822.
I wish you would look at the pension claim again and see if the name Hendan? was Weedon. My grandfathers name was Weedon Headley and date of his birth and names of his brothers and dates of birth correspond with names + dates given above.

I thought perhaps the writing was probably hard to read and being an odd name it was hard to make it out and I wonder if you could verify his name.
I would like to know if Frederick Kenney or Kenny a Revolutionary soldier ever applied for a pension and if so I would like to have the data contained in pension claim.
Yours Truly,
Mrs Edwin Harrold. 140 John St. Marion. Ohio.

Mrs. Edwin Harrold 140 John Street Marion, Ohio
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request verification of the name of the grandson of Carey Headly (W.4741) given as Hendan, but questioned, in the report furnished you August 10, 1935, which name you think might be Weedon, also, the Revolutionary War record of Frederick Kenney or Kenny.
The papers have been reexamined in the pension claim, W.4741, based upon service of Carey Headly. The name given as Hendan in the report furnished you is so poorly written that it is impossible to state definitely what it is. It could be deciphered, compared with the other writing, as Weadon.
There is no claim for pension on file based upon service in the Revolutionary War of a Frederick Kenney, Kenny, Kinney, or other spelling.
Very truly yours
