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.
DECLARATION,
In order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress of the 7th of June, 1832.
State, Territory, or District of } ss. County of }
On this day of personally appeared (a) before A. B. a resident (b) of in the county of and State, Territory or District of aged (c) 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 provision made by the act of Congress, passed June 7th, 1832. That he enlisted in the Army of the United States in the year (d) , with and served in the (e) regiment of the line, under the following named officers:
[Here set forth the names and rank of the Field and Company Officers; the time he left the service; (and if he served under more than one term of enlistment, he must specify the particular period, and rank and names of his officers;) the town or county and State in which he resided when he entered the service; the battles, if any, in which he was engaged, and the country through which he marched. 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 [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.

State of New Jersey No. 1. Bergen County } 1833
On this 4 th day of October personally appeared before the Subscriber a justice of the peace in and for the county and State aforesaid John F. Haring of the Township of Harington in the county of Bergen aged 73 years and personally known in said county and to the Subscriber as a man of truth and good standing and being duly sworn saith that he is the same John F. Haring who on the 31 st day of October 1882 made a declaration under oath of his Revolutionary services in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress of April 7 th 1832 which was done in open court then sitting in and for the county aforesaid. When his original declaration was made out the pressure of business before the court was such as to prevent him from detailing minutely each tour of service he performed and specifying as accurately as he has since learned is necessary the officers who commanded on each occasion & the time and nature of the duty he performed, he has endeavoured to refresh his memory by bestowing more thoughts and reflection on the subject and desires that the Secretary of War and Commissioner of pension will receive this as his amended declaration in which he will endeavour to set forth more specifically & in as much detail as his memory will allow the Revolutionary service he performed.
He first entered the service as a volunteer for one month under Capt. Abraham T. Blauvelt Stationed at Dappan in the county of Bergen and State of New Jersey in the month of June 1776 and the deponent with the company was marched from thence to the city of New York, their duty on this occasion was that of defending the city where they were stationed  the British  chief part of the time they were expected daily on that coast and would attempt its capture when the army was ordered back to the first mentioned place, served the time and was discharged, Col. Francis Day commanded the Regiment of which this company was a part.
In the month of August 1776 He again volunteered under Capt. Cooper (does not recollect his christian name) Stationed at Hoboken part of the time and the remainder at Fort Lee duty on these stations was to assist in building the said fort  works and at the first mentioned place to watch the movement of the enemy who were then in possession of Staten Island, to prevent them from landing at Bergen point opposite Staten Island served his month and was discharged and went home.

In the month of September 1776, He was ordered out by his first mention Capt Abraham T. Blauvelt, to march to fort Lee on the Hudson or north River at which place the deponent assisted in working on the fort, for three weeks, when he was discharged and went home
In the month of February 1777 the deponent was ordered out under Capt Abraham T. Blauvelt to march with the company from Tappan in County of Bergen to Millstone in the County of Somerset where we were stationed more than one month, our duty on that station was that of guarding and defending the country against foraging and plundering parties, (the enemy who had possession of Brunswick) from which place we were mar- ched to Elizabeth town where we remained for a few days and then were marched back to Tappan the place of enroll- ment when the deponent was discharged after having served the full period of six weeks - and he further states that when in this service they had an engagement with the British there stationed at Brunswick In the month of June 1778 He was ordered out for one month with three day Provision under Capt James Christy then stationed Tappan and to march from that place to Keyport in the County of Essex where they joined their Regiment commanded by Col. Samuel Kingston from which they marched with the said Regiment to Woodbridge on their way to aid and assist General Washington, and that of retarding the British Army who were then passing from Philadelphia to the City of New York at which last mentioned place (Woodbridge) we received intelligence that the Battle of Monmouth had been fought and that the British were Retreating, at which place we remained for some time and to Tappan the place of enrollment then were marched back to Newark and from there to Tappan at which place He was discharged - in this tour the deponent believes He served but three weeks (He was ordered out for a month as stated as in the first part)
In the month of September or October 1778 He was ordered out for one month under Capt Elias D. Dunning stationed at the Liberty pole doing guard duty at which place we had an engagement with the British Light Horse who had come up from Powder Hood opposite the City of New York and commenced the attack we fought them for some time, a number being killed and wounded on both sides we were overpowered and forced to Retreat with the loss of some of our men taken prisoners Served the month and was discharged - in this service he was promoted a Sergeant of the company and remained in that capacity during the remainder of his service

In the Month of May 1779 the deponent volunteered for two month under Capt Abraham Haining then Stationed at Closter from which place we were marched to the Liberty pole and along the North River marching from place to place Guarding the Shores and landing places and also that of Defending the upper part of the country, from foraging and plundering parties of the enemy who had possession of the lower part of the country and city of New York. Served the time and was discharged
He then Immediately after the expiration of the last mentioned Service volunteered for one month under Capt John Haylor Stationed at Closter, from which place the deponent with the company was marched to Bergen woods all but opposite the city of New York, same duty as that last set forth. Served the time and was discharged
In the month of June 1780 He the deponent being ordered out for one month under Capt Thomas Blanch, Station duty and services, the same as mentioned under Capt Abraham Haining in 1779, Served the time and was discharged
He then in the month of August 1780 the deponent volunteered for two month under Capt Thomas Blanch Stationed at Closter Sappan and along the north River, duty Guarding and Defending, in this Service they were with Washingtons army then encamped at Sappan. Served the time and was Honorable discharged in the month of October 1780
That in the Month of May 1781 He was ordered out for one month under Capt Abraham Haining Stationed at various Places in the country of Bergen when and where all his Militia Service was performed (excepting where otherwise mentioned) watching the movement of the enemy who had possession of the lower part of said country, and were constantly committing depredations on the Inhabitants. Served the time and was Honably Discharged the same as in all his other services
Col Junius Sey commanded the Regiment to which the deponent was attached (when it is not otherwise stated) when and where Necessity Required his (said Col) attendance
That from the great length of time which has elapsed since the above mentioned services were rendered many particular

might have escaped his memory that he has related all that he can now recollect in reference to his services and which are cal- -culated to explain the same. That in the order of time he may in some instances have fallen into mistakes he asks a Rea- sonable allowance for the frailty of human memory whilst he has faithfully endeavoured to adhere to the truth in all the events and occurrences of which he has spoken - and he verily believes that he has faith- -fully served his country in the Revolutionary war for the full period of four months and twenty four days as a private and eight months as a sergeant being in actual service in the field for each term alledged for which he claims a pension from the United States under the act of January of 1832.
