Act 4 July 1836

Jacob TIpps was pensioned under the act of June 7, 1832 for 9 mos service in the North Carolina militia.

From his own declaration, which was almost the only evidence in his case, it appears that his last term of service extended to some short time subsequent to the Surrender of Cornwallis. Oct 19, 1781.

The evidence required to support this application is -

First, marriage previous to expiration of last term of service.

Second, Identity of claimants husband as the pensioner, and widowhood.

Third, Who are the surviving children of the widow, and who, if any is her Executor or [illegible]

Fourth, Date of Pensioner's death and death of widow.
