Naturalization documents question

shelbytaraperrin1

I honestly don't know what this document is, it comes up a lot. In the corner it says Naturalization Oath, does that mean it's an Oath of Allegiance? But some of the other images with this same style document had a "Declaration of Intention" paper turned sideways at the top along with it.

Here is the batch it's the first and third images:

They are both Oath of Allegiance. You can also tell in the body of the document that it is an OOA by the passage I do absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure forever all allegiance and fidelity to every foreign prince, potentate, state and sovereignty whatsoever and particularly to, then followed by whatever leader, in these cases, the King of Austria and the Czar or Russia.

Thanks for sharing the batch. The 2nd image is Reuben White's Declaration of Intention to become a Citizen. On the 3rd image, the top part is the affidavit of two witnesses and the bottom part is the Oath Of Allegiance.

Chances are good that if you look at the reference images -1 is going to be the Declaration of the Stanislaus. These usually follow patterns, Declaration, Petition with Affidavit of Witnesses, Oath, and sometimes there is a Certificate of Arrival as an overlay with the person's papers.

Hope that helps you figure out the patterns! Happy Indexing!
