Regin R Harlan's
Declaration -

State of Kentucky Mercer County
On this 3 rd day of March in the Year 1834, personally appeared before the Honorable, the Justices of the County Court for the County of Mercer, in the State aforesaid, in Open Court, being a Court of Record, now sitting, Regin D Harlan , a Citizen and Resident of the County and State aforesaid, aged seventy one Years and upwards, who being first duly affirmed, according to law, doth on his affirmation make the following statement and declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the act of the Congress of the United States passed on the 7 th June 1832.
"I entered the service of the United States under the following named officers and served as herein stated - In the month of February 1778, I enrolled myself as a Militia man, in that part of the State of Virginia, now called Ohio County, in the Company commanded by Capt. John Digg and performed Militia duty until the month of November following, when at the request of Col John Gibson of Pittsburgh he and others met at a place then called Catfishes Camp , now Washington Pennsylvania -
The Oath of allegiance was administered to me by said Col Gibson - I then enlisted, with others, to serve for three Years , unless sooner discharged, and an oath to that effect was also administered to me - This took place on the last day of November 1778, to the best of my present recollection, - I served faithfully the whole of three Years and on the last of November 1781, I received my discharge signed by Col. Samuel McCulloch , Maj:

Joseph Ogle and Capt John Biggs - In the month of December 1796, in attempting to cross the Miami River On my return from Fort Greenville, with a waggon and Team I lost my pocket book in the river, containing my discharge, a Certificate for 1000 acres of land and other valuable papers, none of which I have ever seen or heard of since - At the time I enlisted as above state the of- ficers promised us that we should be well paid, but as to myself I have never received one cent -
In 1780 we marched under the command of Maj Joseph Ogle to an Indian Town on the Muskingum River, where we killed 15 Indians and burnt the Town. I was engaged in marching from point to point, and from fort to fort - I was tried at Pittsburgh - In the summer of 1780, the times became so alarming that Col Gibson, as I understood, wrote to Gen Washington calling upon him to send some additional aid for the relief of that part of the Country - My services were mostly confined to the defence of the Western parts of Pennsylvania and Virginia, but from my engagement and oath I was bound to serve the United States at any point, my officers chose to order me - During the three years afore- said, I was engaged in many skirmishes and battles with the Indians - I never was in a battle with the British - My whole service was in the capacity of a private - I was born in Frederick County Maryland On the 23 rd June 1762 - and now reside, and have resided in Owen County, Kentucky, for about five years last

Part - I know of no human being now alive who has any knowledge of my services except the Rev: Benjamin Ogle whose affidavit accompanies this declaration - And I hereby relinquish every claim whatsoever to a pension or annuity except the present - and I further declare that my name is not on the pension roll of any Agency of any State or Territory
In answer to the several interrogatories directed by the Secretary of War to be propounded to applicants for pensions - I state again that I was born in the County of Frederick, State of Maryland, on the 23 rd June 1762 - but was raised principally in Berkeley County Virginia until I was fifteen years of age - I then removed with my uncle Michael Rawlings to Pennsylvania, near where Cannonburg now is - and continued to live with him until the commencement of the year 1778, when I removed with him to the now County of Ohio, Virginia - and in February 1778 as before stated I joined Capt John Digg's Company of Militia - In my whole service I acted not as a substitute or a drafted soldier, but as a Volunteer -
After the war was closed I went to Virginia, remained a short time, from thence to Tennessee, then North Carolina, where I continued to live until the death of my wife which happened in the year 1794 - I assisted my father to remove from Berkeley County Va. to the State of Ohio in 1795 - For some time

thereafter I was engaged driving his Team, When in De- -cember 1796 I lost my pocket book Containing my discharge as before stated in the Miami River -
Thomas W Fry, William D Moore, Charles Hart jr David Hart, Andrew G Style, John Pitman, James Green and Isaac Chaplin Harvey Green, are some of those of my neighborhood Who will testify as to my character for veracity, and their belief of my having served in the Revolutionary War - There are also many others Who will testify to the same facts -

REGULATIONS UNDER THE ACT OF JUNE 7, 1832.
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 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. 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 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 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.
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.
[k] This traditional evidence is indispensable in militia cases.
[l] If a witness cannot be found, the declarant must state the fact.
[m] The answers to the interrogatories must all be written, and sent to the War Department, with the declaration.

Mr J. L. Edwards Pension Office Washington City

Dear friend Edmards. I here send you a Statement of all that has occurred in my case since you wrote to me and am thankful that you was so kind as to Inform me what was yet wanted to establishing my claim I have made every effort in my power to procure Testimony but cannot find a person now living who was then of age to have a perfect knowledge of my services many of the company was killed and all the officers were killed and what for services are since dead I am the only survivor that belonged to that company I am now upwards of Seventy years old we had the promise of pay from General Washington but as for myself I must say of a truth I have never received one cent to this day I have not enjoyed a comfortable days health in twenty years and more than all that I am dead deaf all the world and all the noise in it is as silent to me as the grave, there is many who were children then whose parents lived in the fort who will remember me but were too young to have a perfect knowledge of every transaction So as to establish my claim the only one I could think of at first was one Benjamin Cgle son of My Joseph Cgle who lives five hundred miles from me I had to travel more than a Thousand miles in my sickness and deafness among strangers without money in the depth of winter to procure the Testimony of Rev. Benjamin Cgle but he is like all the rest was too young at that time to have a perfect knowledge of every transaction yet he has testified as far as his know- ledge and youth admits dear friend it is all that I can procure if it is not sufficient I do more dear friend Edmards if my claim should be good I hope the dear Gentlemen at the head of the War department will sincerely consider my case and as I have the promise of pay from such high authority as George Washington and has never received money clothing or land I hope they will grant me something in their wisdom Something equivalent I need and no more but will conclude by subscribing myself with all due respect your poor unfortunate sufferer.

State of Illinois } This day personally appeared before me the Subscriber St Clair County } a Justice of the peace in and for Said County Rev. Benjamin Ogle of the County of St Clair and State of Illinois and formerly of the County of Ohio and State of Virginia who being first duly sworn according to Law deposes and says that he was well acquainted with Regis R Harlan in the Revolutionary war and that he and the said Harlan lived in one fort then known by the name of the Court House fort since West Liberty. Being young he has not perfect knowledge of every thing that transpired nor is he prepared to say who the said Harlan was under as Joseph Ogle (his Father) and John Bigger were both officers in said fort. Yet he well rem- embers that the said Harlan bore arms in the defense of the frontiers and some time in the summer of the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty one the said Harlan with several others were at work on a plantation a mile or more from said fort when a party of Indians fired upon them five of which ran to their guns two of the five were killed and the said Harlan with two others kept the house and fought while any Indians were to be seen and by their valor saved the scalps of those that were killed and all the property when relief came from the fort and made immediate search for the Indians none could be found but it was thought that one or more were killed I have every reason to believe that the said Harlan was a good soldier and was much respected by the officers and others
