She declares that she verily believesthat her said husband was a soldier in the Continental Line of Virginia,and that she was of the opinion when she made her last declaration thathis service was of several years duration, but in this she may bemistaken and his service may not have been in the said Continental lineof but eighteen months duration, as she was so unfortunate as to bedeprived of her husband near fortyfive years ago by his death, andtherefore it was not to be supposed she could so well remember hisparticular statements as if he had lately died, and therefore, hopes herstatement that he served three years will not be to prejudice her claim.She will not now state what was the duration of his service, but she wasconvinced that he was a regular soldier of the Virginia line, and soughtat often times to obtain the consent of someone to present her claim forher to a pension and she was always told that her second marriage was anindispensible objection to her claim, until she was informed by Mr.Trabue that an act lately passed had embraced her claim, and sheimmediately urged him to attend to it for her, and she made herdeclaration to the best of her belief, and now most respectfully asksthat her claim to a Pension may be granted for some amount upon a liberalinvestigation, as she, before her God, believes she is entitled to apension.
