I have filed the informal declaration of Critty Dacus, claiming a pension in [illegible] of her mother Sarah Wade, decd and you are informed that it cannot be considered for the reason that it not made before a Justice of the Peace, and is also defective [illegible].  If her mother was married in 1775, the claim should be [illegible] made the Act of July 4, 1836, and her declaration made before a Court of Record.  [illegible] the claim will be found for the posted sheet hereunto enclosed - and they must be strictly adhered

From the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, R. 10986, it appears that Mrs. Critty Dacus, on November 29, 1855, in Greenville District, South Carolina, at which time she was aged fifty-three years, applied for pension on account of the service of her father, David Wade, and alleged that he served two years in the Revolutionary War.

She gave no dates of service and no names of officers.

The claim was not allowed as there was no proof of service.

She also stated that her father died, July 23 (year is blurred), that her mother, Sarah (maiden name Auyelan

[hand-written] This hist was not requested by Mrs F. C. Walker but thought best to add as this fam. history was much intermixed
