Sir,
    I have examined the claim of Mary Bullock widow of Daniel of Ga. for the benefit
of the act of July 4 1836, and have to inform
you that neither the proof of service of the marriage is established as our rules require. The witnesses for his service and marriage are John Ford and Frances Whitehurst. Ford says he believes he served under Capt. Quinn, he knows he served in 1778, but he does not state any thing about the length of his service. Frances Whitehurst says he was drafted into the Militia service, after he was married, for the term of nine months and served the whole term. These statements are not supported by any Record proof, nor is it shown that no such proof can be obtained. If he performed service as alleged, evidence of it ought to
be procured from the office of the Comptroller of the State of N.C. where it is alleged he and the family Record of Marriage or of the births of children, or a certificate of the Clerk of the County in which he was married, should be furnished showing the date of that event. If testimony of this grade can not be obtained then [illegible] evidence will be received, but it-

is not sufficient that witnesses that witnesses swear that they were present and saw the ceremony performed and thus recollect that it happened in 1777, they should fortify their memories by some 
collateral circumstance,

Dear Madam:

You are advised that the Revolutionary War records of this office do not show that a claim for pension was ever made on account of the services of George Zeigler (Seigler, etc.), of Georgia, or an A. Sutton of Georgia.
    You will recall that when you were collecting data from this office recently, you requested the record of Daniel Bulloch or Bullock, whose widow, Mary, applied for pension from Bibb County, Georgia, and at that time the names Daniel, David and Richard Bullock (Bullock) were all searched in the effort to find the record of the widow, Mary, and no claim
for pension was found; you were advised at that time that the papers in the application for pension by Mary Bullock, widow of Daniel, had been missing since 1877; it is not known just what disposition was made of them; perhaps they were returned
to her when the claim was not allowed.
    Her name appears on a list of those whose Revolutionary War claims for pension under the Act of July 4, 1836, were suspended; the list was printed in 1852 and she was reported as of Bibb County, Georgia.
    It appears from copies of office letters, that the soldier, Daniel Bullock, was alleged to have served in 1778 in Captain Quinn's North Carolina company; also that the length of his service was nine months.
    It was also alleged that he married in 1777, Mary, the applicant for pension, whose maiden name is not shown.

His widow, Mary, failed to furnish proof of soldier's service and of their marriage, as required by the pension laws and the claim was not allowed.
Very truly yours

Sir
I have the honor to inform you that no additional evidence having been filed for five years since the last adjudication of the claim of Mary Bullock, that now received through you, cannot be considered unless accompanied by an affidavit that it could not have been processed sooner.

Sir
I have the honor to inform you that the claim of Mary Bullock has been examined and the proofs deemed insufficient to establish within the alleged date of the marriage for the service of her husband. The first should be sustained by a certified copy of the marriage bond or by the original of any family register made more than twenty years ago. If that grade of proof is shown to be unattainable, the most satisfactory parol testimony should be addressed. 
The service should be established by the certificate of the secty of N. C.
