Add to Case of Elizabeth Fulton, wid of Andrew—
Page 7

Staunton July 5th 1847
Dear Sir
See the papers in the case of Elizabeth Fulton were sent to your office I have procured the affidavit of Andrew MClure who certifies that he was present at the Marriage of Andrew Fulton to Elizabeth Hall which took place in the year 1783. This was one year before the pursure of the act of the Legislature of Va requiring bonds to be given by the pastor allowing marriage Licenses and requiring those who solemnize marriages to make returns. You will perceive by an examination of the papers that the Clerk of the County General certified that there are no bonds remaining further back than 1785. I presume this will be perfunctory upon this because of the case. It is objected that given Fulton does not state in her declaration that her husband served more than his year of duty in Guilford. This is true and she is unable to amend her declaration her running is so far given she is now upwards of seventy that her recollection is very indistict [indistinct]. The only evidence she has to rely on is that of MCullans, who

says he is satisfayid [satisfied] Fulton served more than one year during the revolution.
considering the extreme difficulty of getting proof the hard service Fulton is known to have rendered his wounds the minutia of his widow. all of humbly evidence calls for a liberal view of this case. MCullans evidence is so strongly persuasive of the fact that Fulton served long enough to entitle his widow to a pension that we hope it may be viewed liberaly [liberally] and allowed with the additional evidence in with a review of the case and to be advised of the writ at this place.
Very respectfuly [respectfully] David. S. Young J.L. Edwards

Sir
The enclosed letter addressed by you to John Feely, was handed to me with a request that I should inform you, that the letter of the 29th letter refered to in yours of the 14th August, & which is herewith sent, was never received by him, and he is not informed of the rules & requirements of your department. Will you be so good as to inform me at your earliest convenience as he is desirous, if in his power to furnish the necessary evidence in the proper form, to enable him to obtain his pension. I claim to obtain from your office the dedication of Elizabeth Fulton, widow of Andrew Fulton who was a soldier in the Revolution, together with the accompanying evidence which has laid before you within the last 12 months, and you received upon the case.
Very Respectfully,
And. S. Fulton
