On this 1 st day of September 1832 personally appeared in open court, John Groves before Charlton Hunt Esq r . Mayor of the city of Lexington John Groves a resident of said county, 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 9 th 1832.
He was born in Louisa county Virginia in the year 1757 in December; that he has a copy of the original record of his age, taken from the one which his father kept. He resided first in Spottsylvania and then in Orange county Va. when he entered the service. When the war was over he removed to Kentucky where he has resided for the last forty three or forty four years. His first tour he served as a volunteer, his two last as a draft. He received a discharge, but has long since lost them.
He first entered in the service as a volunteer in Capt. John Craig's company from Spottsylvania county, in 1776, and marched to Williamsburg, where it remained and in its vicinity during that tour. He presumes that the tour was two months as he served it out, although he is not positive that it was not longer.
His next service was a similar tour in the company of Capt. Lindsay, from Orange County, when Lord Cornwallis was marching from the south and Genl. Lafayette commanded in Virginia, and during the retreat of the latter. His tour expired and he was drafted and marched under Capt. [blank] to the siege of York where he served until the surrender, when he

aided in guarding the prisoners up to Winchester, where he was discharged & returned home. He served in all six months or more in his three tours. He was occasionally under command of several field officers. Major Duvall commanded the detachment, in which he marched to James River where he aided in unloading several vessels containing military stores which were intended for the siege. He saw & knew several officers in the regular & militia. He saw Gen. Washington, Col. Nicholas, Gen. Lafayette, Col. Crosslow of the militia, and many others whom he has forgotten. He was in no battle, nor wounded. He has no documentary evidence, nor the evidence of any living witness to prove his services, except that of James Graves his brother, which is hereto annexed. He refers to Daniel Bradford, Capt. M c Fowler, James Dever, Gen. Rob. S. Russell & Thos. A. Russell to testify as to his credibility. 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, or territory.
Sworn to and subscribed the day & year aforesaid.

Personally appeared before me a justice of the peace in and for said county, James Graves of credible character, who made oath, that he knew of John Graves who now applies for a pension from the general government under the act of 7 th June 1832, having served as a volunteer in Capt Craig's company which marched to Williamsburg in the year 1776 as he believes. He also believes from information which he relies on that said John Graves served in the Virginia militia at the capture of Lord Cornwallis; said deponent was himself at that siege, but was in a different part of the army, and did not see him, said John. He has always understood from said John that he served many  one other times during the war. Given under my hand this 8 th August 1832, having first interlined "one".

will Gen: McCalla call at the Pension Office and endeavor to get Col. Edwards to reconsider the case of Mrs Lydia Graves, widow of John Graves dec d . - Mrs Graves has so far declined to receive the Pension granted by the accompanying Certificate - She conceives that she is entitled to such Pension as the law of Congress authorized at the time her application was rec d at the Pension Office, which by an examination of her papers, will be found to be some 10 or 15 days before the passage of the act of 30 April 1844.
Should the Commissioner of Pensions adhere to his former decision Mrs Graves desires an appeal from his decision to the proper Tribunal, which you will confer a Mrs Graves by attending to for her.

AN ACT
To continue the pensions of certain widows.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the act granting pensions to the widows of certain revolutionary soldiers, approved the third day of March, one thousand eight hundred and forty-three, be and the same is hereby revived and extended for and during the term of four years from and after the fourth day of March, one thousand eight hundred and forty-four, to have the same effect as if said act had been a grant of pensions for five years, instead of one year, from and after the fourth day of March, one thousand eight hundred and forty-three.
SECTION 2. And be it further enacted, That such widows as have been or shall be admitted by special acts of Congress to the benefit of the pension act approved the seventh day of July, one thousand eight hundred and thirty-eight, or to the benefit of the act hereby revived and extended, shall be entitled, and shall be admitted to the benefit of this act; subject, however, to the rules, limitations, and conditions in and by said act prescribed.
APPROVED, June 17, 1844.
Pension Office,
June 25, 1844.
In order to carry into effect the foregoing act, those persons who have been pensioned under the law of March 3, 1843, will not be required to send a new declaration to this office. They will merely apply to the Agent for paying pensions at the place where they have heretofore been paid, and comply with the instructions from the office of the Second Comptroller, a copy of which is subjoined.
Many persons, however, will be entitled to pensions under the Act of June 17, 1844, who have not been, or cannot be, pensioned under the Acts of July 7, 1838, and March 3, 1843, by reason of the proviso in the Act of April 30, 1844, entitled "an Act making appropriations for the payment of revolutionary and other pensioners of the United States, for the fiscal year ending on the 30th June, one thousand eight hundred and forty-five," which declares "that no pension shall be hereafter granted to a widow for the same time that her husband received one." In all cases in which the husband was a pensioner, the widow's pension will commence on the day of his death, unless he died before the 4th of March, 1836, or between the 4th of March, 1841, and the 4th of March, 1843. If he died between the two last dates, the widow's pension will begin on the 4th of March, 1843; and if he died previous to March 4, 1836, the widow will be entitled to the whole of the pension allowed, under the Acts of 1838, 1843, and 1844, as if the Act of April 1844, had not passed.
No person can be pensioned under either of the aforementioned Acts, who has not produced such proof as the regulations point out for claimants under the law of July 7, 1838; and every applicant will be careful in her declaration to set forth the particular law under which she claims.
J. L. EDWARDS,
Commissioner of Pensions.
Treasury Department,
SECOND COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE,
June 25, 1844.
SIR: As the "Act to continue the pensions of certain widows," passed the 17th June inst., revives and extends the Act granting pensions to the widows of certain Revolutionary soldiers approved the third day of March, 1843, it does not appear to me that any thing further is necessary to entitle a widow who was inscribed on the pension list under the Act of 1843, to a continuance of pension by virtue of the Act of June 17, 1844, except to produce proof of identity.
Under former laws, the proof has consisted of the oath of the pensioner, that she is the identical person named in the original certificate in her possession, a copy of which certificate was required to be set out in the oath.

Under the law of June, 1844, the pensioner should be required to make oath that she is the identical person who drew a pension under the Act of March, 1843, but she cannot set out a copy of the certificate granted under the latter Act, as the certificates were required to be surrendered upon the last payment of the pension which became due under that Act.
I have prepared a form, a copy of which is herewith transmitted, which when filled up and properly executed, will, in my judgment be a sufficient voucher on which the pension Agent may pay such pensioners as are on the rolls of their respective Agencies, under the Act of March 3, 1843.
As widows, who were never placed on the pension list prior to the Act of June, 1844, whose claims have subsequently been admitted, will be furnished with pension certificates from the War Department, they will be required to set out a copy of their certificates, in the oath of identity, agreeably to the old forms.

Sir,
I herewith return the Pension Certificate of Mrs Lydia Groves for a Pension under the act of March 3. 1843, (to commence on 1 st Nov: 1843 & terminate on the 4 th March 1844!) I know of no law of 3 March 1843, authorising such a Pension, and besides Mrs Groves' application was under the act of July 7. 1838. and not under the act of March 3 rd 1843, - which was done in accordance to your printed instructions, in which you requested that no application under the act of March 3 rd 1843. should be made until the applicant had rec d a Pension under the act of July 7. 1838. - Thus application was made under the latter act; thus made withholding any application under the act of 3 rd March 1843, until she had obtained the other.
Hoping the error will be speedily corrected & a proper certificate granted & forwarded - I remain in haste Your friend & ob dt Servant.

The question presented by Mr. Wickman has been repeatedly decided by the Secretary, and I am thereby instructed not to allow a double pension to a man and his wife for the same term in any decision made after the declaratory Act of April 30th last.
