"In the case of Sarah McJunkin, widow of Daniel McJunkin the Evidence is satisfactory to establish her husbands service for 18 months & 20 days and also their Marriage prior to his last term of service. But before a certificate can issue in her name the particular time when her death occured should be shown by the affidavit of the coffin maker or Minister who attended his her last moments or some other satisfactory proof.
It is alledged in the Declaration in this claim that Mrs McJunkin died in 1841, but it appears from the transcrip from the records of the treasury of S.Ca. that her State pension has not been paid in 1840"

Sir
You will receive inclosed the declaration of Joseph McJunkin asking for a pension for the heirs of his mother - the widow of the late Daniel McJunkin, who was a Soldier of the Revolution.
I am requested to state to you my opinion as to the Credibility of the Witnesses Joseph McJunkin Senr Thomas Young & Margaret Beaty.
These witnesses were in their life time (they are now all dead) residents of Union District where I reside. The witnesses Major Joseph McJunkin & Major Thomas Young were both pensioners of the United States at the time of their death & were men of undoubted credibility & of the highest order of Public Virtue. both were litterally
Page 20

covered with honorable sears which they received in the battle fields of the Revolution. Margaret Beaty was a Lady of high character-- one of our Revolutionary Matrons-- and the mother of one of the best families in the up County of South Carolina. In all this I speak from my own Personal knowledge.
It so happens that I am also Well acquainted with Joseph McJunkin the declarant- who now asks for a pension upon the testimony offered. I lived a near neighbor to him for several years in Greenville District S.C. At the time I knew him (& I do not suppose he has changed since) he was a Gentleman of great respect - ability & entitled to confidence in every way, as an honest truthful man & Good Citizen and from my youth to the present time I have heard the McJunkin family spoken of as among the best Whig Soldiers in South Carolina during the revolution.
When I am
Page 21

asked to testify as to the credibility of these war worn heroes (for they were nothing less) of the Revolution. Majors Young & McJunkin, whose palsied hands I have pressed in my own so often-- but who are now numbered with the dead I hardly know when I have said enough in reference to men, whose equals in all that constituted the true patriot, it is much to be feared we will not soon see again-
Be pleased to report this case to myself at your earliest convenience
I have the honor to be
