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) _____, who has 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 days 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.

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 the 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 inquiry 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 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.

Sir:
In reply to your letter of the 11" ultimo, you are advised that the pensioner of the Revolution, a resident of Berks Co. Penn., placed on the roll Mar. 15, 1833, was named Jacob Harmany or Hermany , he died Sept. 4, 1836, and left a widow Christina. His name is erroneously recorded as Herriman on the list of pensioners printed in 1835.
There is however a pensioner of the Revolution, who lived in Lycoming Co. Penn., named Jacob Harriman or Herriman, he died Mar. 9, 1834, leaving a widow Sarah.
Please state which of the above soldiers is the one whose record you desire and his history will be furnished you.
Very respectfully,
H. A. Royce

In the Matter of the Declaration and application of Mrs. Sarah Herriman, widow of Jacob Herriman deceased, for Pension and Bounty Land
State of Pennsylvania County of Lycoming S.S.
On this 20 th day of June A.D. 1857, before me, a justice of the Peace in and for the County and State aforesaid personally appeared Sarah Herriman to me well known as the identical widow of Jacob Herri- man, deceased, who being duly sworn according to law doth declare and say, that the Declaration and Application for Pension and Bounty Land, lately made by her as the widow of Jacob Herriman, deceased the consideration whereof is still pending under- -mined, contain a true and correct statement of the time and date of the death of her husband, the said Jacob Herriman, dead, to wit; March 9. 1834. That she never before, knowingly stated the time or date otherwise than above stated, and that she never, at any time signed or gave as her act and deed any paper of any kind giving or stating a different time as the date of such death knowing the contents of such paper That to the best of her knowledge, belief and recol- -lection she never in her life before nor since the death of her said husband, saw, knew, or had any business connection or transaction with E. M. Pollock or Ephraim M. Pollock in relation to the claim of her said husband to Pension or Bounty Land Nor to any arrear due, or increased pay at the time of his death, nor to any claim of her own for Pension, arrear, increase of pay or Bounty Land, as widow of said, decedent. Nor to any claim business or transaction of any nature whatsoever That she has never, at any time, received from any

person, persons or source whatever a Single Dollar or any Sum, either as arrearages due at the time of her said husband's death, or for or on account of any other right or claim for or in behalf of her said husband. Nor for or in behalf of herself or any claim she has or had for arrearages, increase of pay, Pension or Bounty Lands, because of her being the widow of said Jacob Weinman, deceased.
That she has no recollection of ever giving to Ephraim M. Pollock or E. M. Pollock any Power of Attorney or any other authority to ask for or receive any arrearages of Pension, increase of pay Pension Bounty Lands or any other claim for her - or of ever giving previous to the present pending claim, such a power or authority to any person or persons unless the paper hereinafter mentioned as signed by her the Winter next after the death of her said husband, was, or contained such power or authority.
That if any other date of the time of death of her said husband appears in any paper or writing or power of attorney upon Record, different from the 9 th March 1834 as stated in the present pending Application, the same was stated and given without her knowledge and acquaintance with the contents of any such paper writing or power of Attorney and that her signature and qualification or acknowledgement thereto have been obtained, if the same appear to have been obtained to any such paper, writing &c, by unfair means, misstatement of their contents and fraudulently.
That she accounts for the discrepancy existing between the date of her said husband's death as given in the Application now pending and that set forth in the power of attorney (of the papers accompanying the same) to E. M. Pollock (represented as appearing upon Records at Washington City) by her belief which she now avers highly that said power of Attorney or other writings contained a

wrong Statement of the date of her said husband's death, and the same was obtained of her unfairly and fraudulently by some person or persons at present unknown to her. The facts or statements therein represented not having been made to her, and that if any money was paid on account or by virtue of such power of Attorney or writings the same was improperly and wrongfully paid and was never received by her - That she is convinced that her belief as just above stated is well founded from a circumstance now remembered by her, to wit: That in the Winter next after the death of her said husband, she was induced by some person or persons not now remembered by name, who came to her house, to sign some paper writing represented to her as having reference to her husband's Pension - That she does not know of what nature said paper writing was nor what the contents thereof were. She cannot now say whether the same was a Power of Attorney or not. Nor when, by whom, for what purpose or when said paper writing was used. That she could not read herself nor write at that time nor can she now do so and that she did not receive any money afterward as before stated - That she had forgotten as to signing the last named paper, never having heard thereof since signing until after the filing of the present Application, and information of some paper being upon Records, derived thro. her Attorney at Washington City. She make this Additional affidavit to obtain payment of the amount of Pension money due her as the widow of said Jacob Kverniman deceased, after deducting the amount appearing thus to have been improperly received by some one other than herself, if the Department adjudge it right and proper to make such deduction, and to obtain the Bounty Lands due her as widow aforesaid.

Sworn to and subscribed by her, the said Sarah Kverniman making her mark as above appearing, in my presence, before me, and I hereby certify that I have no interest in the deduction and application of said Sarah Kverniman for Pension & Bounty Land, and that I am not concerned in their prosecution.

Hon. J. Miroir. Commissioner of Pensions Sir. -
I received your letter of the 2 nd inst in reference to the Rev. Pension claim under the Act of Feb 3. 1853. of Sarah Herriman widow of Jacob of Penna. and reply thereto.
The widow states that she has never received one dollar of the arrears of pension due her husband at his death. further she is informed and believes that there were two Jacob Herrimans. pensioners of Penna. This is corroborated by the printed lists of pensioners from which it appears that there was a Jacob Herriman of Berks Co. and a Jacob Herriman of Lycoming Co. both of whom were pensioners. Probably an examination of the two claims will explain the seeming discrepancy in the dates. -
The widow is of the impression that $26.66 per year was not the amount of her husband's pension. but as each of the pensioners received that amount she is doubtless mistaken. -
Very Respectfully Your Ob t Serv t . Chas. C. Tucker.
