On this 13th day of August 1839 personally appeared before Benjamin G. Rice one of the justices of the county court in for the county and state aforesaid Judith Freeman, aged eighty years, a resident of said county, who being first duly sworn according to the 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 4th 1836: That she is the widown of Aaron Freeman, who was a private in the 2nd North Carolina regiment continental establishment in the Army of the Revolution, commanded by Archibald Little; that he entered the service under Captain Thomas Armstrong on the 1st day of August 1781 in Dobbs County, North Carolina for the term of one year and was discharged on the 1st of August 1782 at Ashley Hill South Carolina; that during his service he was taken sick and remained a while at Camden in the Hospital, and after his recovery he did duty as a sergeant in the guard at Camden. This is in substance of what she knows of the service of her husband; nor does she know of any person living who could prove it.
