Declaration

In order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress of the 7th July 1838, 

State of North Carolina}
Orange County} S.S.
On this the 9th day of April in the Year of our Lord 1840, personally appeared before the undersigned one of the Justices of the Courts of Pleas & Quarter Sessions for the aforesaid county, at her own residence, she being from bodily infirmity unable to attend Court to make this Declaration, Elizabeth Albright, of the aforesaid County, [aged scratched out] in the 70th year of her age, 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, 1838, entitled “An act granting half pay and pensions to certain widows”:
That she is a widow of Ludwick Albright, dec’d [deceased] of the aforesaid County, who as a private solider in the war of the Revolution, did serve the United States in the Militia (as she has reason to believe) as herein after Set forth.

1. And the Said Declarant, Elizabeth Albright, states upon her said oath that, she has reason to believe and does believe that, in the winter [words scratched out] of the year of 1780, that there was a call for a tour of militia service in behalf of the United States for three months, that the object of this draft as this declarant has understood was to aid the Southern Army under Genl. Lincoln. That at the commencement of this tour O'Neal was Capt. of the Company to which her husband was attached, Trousdale was lieutenant and Wm [William] Lytle Col. [Colonel]: they were marched off to the City of Charleston in South Carolina, but before reaching that place, O’Neal was made Major, and Trousdale, Capt [Captain]. That under these officers her deceased husband, with others, was marched into Charleston and engaged in fortifying that city against the enemy, and according to the best of her recollection and from the testimony furnished by the affiant, John Efland, marked A and hereto annexed. This declarant
Page 5

(2)

has reason to believe that in this tour her husband as private of militia in the company aforesaid, did serve the United States four months or thereabouts. 
That at the expiration of this tour, this declarant has always understood, that her husband (served all of the aforesaid tour) and was duly discharged there from by Captain Trousdale, and returned home. That she has caused search to be made for discharges but cannot find any. 
That her husband, the aforesaid Ludwick Albright died in 1816, when all his papers passed into the hands of his Executors, and this declarant does not at this distant day know anything of them; none were ever returned to her, that she remembers of. See also affidavit "B".
2. This declarant has reason to believe and does believe, that in the winter of 1781, her dec’d [deceased] husband, the aforesaid Ludwick Albright, did Volunteer as private of militia in the United States Service and was attached to Trousdale’s company. Hugh Tinnen was Colonel. 
This deponent, as well as she remembers, her husband’s statement corresponds with that of the affiant William Allen, whose affidavit is hereto annexed and marked “C.”
Said tour as well as this declarant is informed, commenced on or about the 1st day of February 1781, and was of three months duration. In this tour, her husband was in the Battle at the Guilford Courthouse, and at the expiration of said tour, was duly discharged, as she has heard him say, and returned home.
3. And the said Elizabeth Albright further states upon her said oath that she has reason to believe, and does believe, that in the summer of the year of 1781, there was a draft for militia men to serve a three months tour of duty, when her dec.d [deceased] husband, the aforesaid Ludwick Albright was drafted for said tour. In this tour, William Gwinn was Captain, O’Neal Major, and Jno. Butler-Brig. Genl. [Brigadier General] my deceased husband in this tour was under Robert Mebane as Col. [Colonel], part of the tour, and was in the engagement at Lindley Mills, in the month of September, of the aforesaid year of 1781. That at the expiration of said tour, which was of three months duration, my dec.d [deceased] husband was duly discharged by Captain Gwinn and returned
Page 6

(3)

home. This tour is proven by the affiant John Strader, whose affidavit is hereto annexed and marked “D” 
4. And the said declarant further stateth [states] upon her said oath that she has reason to believe and does believe that in the fall of 1782, her dec.d [deceased] husband Volunteered as a private of Infantry for a three months tour of duty in the militia in the United States service. See affidavit “E”
That Rogers was Captain of the company to which her husband was attached and O’Neal- Col. [Colonel]: that in this tour she has understood from her dec.d [deceased] husband that said troops were marched to Sandy Creek, in Randolph County; to Drowning Creek on Pee Dee, where they were stationed some weeks; thence to the Barracks at Litterell’s [W^hine] their three months expired and they returned home, having been duly discharged, as she has heard her husband say, but by what officer does not now remember. 
That in this tour, as in the former, her husband was in legally organized Corps and called into service by competent Authority.
That from the best information she possesses (derived from her husband and others) she has reason to believe that as a private of militia in the United States service, her dec.d [deceased] husband did serve the United States in the War of the Revolution, twelve or thirteen months in legally organized Corps. That in one tour, this declarant remembers of seeing the said Ludwick Albright as a private soldier in the United States service, pass by her father’s, in Capt [Captain] Roger’s company, this declarant was at that time not above 10 or 12 years of age. Said Ludwick Albright lived in the same neighborhood with this declarant’s father and were intimately acquainted. See affidavit marked “E”
And the said Elizabeth Albright, further declares upon her said oath, that she has a family record, sitting forth the date of her marriage with her late husband Ludwick Albright aforesaid, and dates of their several children’s births, also the date of her husband’s death.
And which record the said Elizabeth states upon the said oath she believes to be genuine and true, and is as follows towit

On this the 28th day of January 1841, personally appeared before the undersigned one of the Justices of the Peace in and for the county aforesaid George Albright of said county, who being first duly sworn according to law deposeth & saith as follows. Towit:
That upon the death of his father Ludwick Albright, upon examination of his papers, there were found papers pertaining to the Revolutionary Services of said Ludwick. Two of said papers were either discharges for Services or Tickets for the payment of his Service, he does not distinctly remember which but is under the impression it was the latter.
But one of the papers (a third) was an order from Captain William Lyttle for Seventy-five pounds – that said order was given to his father (as he had frequently heard him say, when he and Lyttle were out on a tour in the United States Service.)
These papers were all shown to Archebald Murphey Esq. (an Attorney) by Elizabeth Albright, for Council. Mr. Murphey’s instructions were that the said papers be taken to Secretary of State for his examination; upon examination by the Secretary of the Continental roll at Raleigh, the name of Ludwick Albright could not be found, and the Secretary gave it as his opinion that the Revolutionary Serving rendered by said Ludwick Albright was Militia. The affiant took said papers to Raleigh, and upon his return from Raliegh placed them in his mother’s hands; and during the summer of the same or the next year, saw his mother placed the said Revolutionary papers in the hands of Mr. Murphey, in the Town of Hillborn; for its purpose of making further effort to get payment.
Mr. Murphey never rec.d [received] anything, that we ever understood – Murphey has been dead some 8 or 9 years and now nothing of said Revolutionary papers.

This affiant he frequently heard his father say in his life time, that he never got any pay for his Revolutionary Services.
