State of North Carolina,
Halifax County } On this 19th day of June 1843, personally appeared before me Hardy Applewhite, - one of the acting Magistrates in and for said County & State, Mary Grimmer, resident of said County & State, aged Seventy Eight years, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on her oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the act of Congress passed July 7th eighteen hundred & thirty eight (1838) entitled an act granting half pay and pension to certain widows, and also the act granting one years pay to certain widows, passed on the 3rd of March 1843: - That she was married to Thomas Grimmer, who was a private soldier of the militia, and served two tours, three months each. - That he first entered the service sometime in the year, seventeen hundred and eighty or eighty one, and that after having service the above said two tours  as stated. He entered the service as a private soldier in the North Carolina line for twelve months, and served out the time for which he entered as his discharge hereunto arrested (?) will more clearly prove, and, that he served under Capt. Swan Trouton and his Colo.  Comnd. It was Harry Hart otherwise called Hal Hart, as I have heard my husband say; Whether the officers above mentioned were in the militia or Continental line of service, my memory does not serve me, but as well as I recalle, they were in the Continental line of service. I was married to Thomas Grimmer dead in the year Seventeen hundred and Eighty Six (1786), And that Jere Nelms did. thne a magistrate in and for said county and state, so legitimized the rites of Matrimony.
