This is to certify that at the time of the Revolutionary War I was 
personally acquainted with Thomas B Hugo who was a Capt in 
the 5th regt. of the Maryland line, in the Continental Army,  
in the war of that revolution.  I was also at the same time 
acquainted with Elizabeth Hugo his wife, and I do hereby 
certify that I knew the said Thomas B Hugo and Elizabeth 
Hugo as publicly acknowledged reputed and known man 
and wife in the year 1779 and subsequently.  And 
from my own personal knowledge of them and the 
highly respectable society in which they moved, I have 
not the least doubt, nor did I ever hear of any 
doubt existing or question being made as to the 
legality of their marriage.  They lived together 
until the 29th of July 1798 when the said Thomas 
B Hugo died and his widow the said Elizabeth 
Hugo, afterwards intermarried a certain William Amos 
who died in December 1832.  And I do further certify 
that the said widow has not intermarried since the 
death of said William Amos, but has remained a 
widow, and now resides in the City of Baltimore 
and is the same identical person who is about apply
ing for a pension from the United States on 
account of the military services of her said husband 
Capt Thomas B Hugo.
