Sir
Enclosed please find application of Eunice Young Widow of Joseph Young dec. for a pension under act July 29, 1848.
The facts of her husbands service, pension and death, I trust will sufficiently appear from an examination of the enclosed, and papers referred to when declaration -
No record evidence has yet been found of marriage, or publishment, other than Bible record introduced, attached to her declaration - The record of marriage, as it appears there, cannot be considered conclusive evidence, for upon examination of the records of Births [underlined], it will appear that all the entries were originally made in very pale Ink and hardly to be discerned, and at some recent day the whole has been written over anew - The first birth [underlined] appears to be 10 days previous [underlined] to marriage [underlined], the probably was the only publishment [underlined], and it does not appear that the record of marriage was ever made with the pale Ink, but must have been made at some day after all the childrens births had been recorded, it probably was entered after teh old Lady and Gentleman had lost some of that very natural reluctance to have the facts appear as they in reality were - this may be one grand reason that no record can be found on the Town Books - But as there was evidently
Page 31

three children born before 1800 and this fact appears from the pale Ink, I take it you will consider the fact of marriage to all intents and purposes sufficiently proved by the pale ink alone -
The letter of the Town Clerk of Lisbon is enclosed -
I am Very Respectfully
Your Obt. Serv.
