Dear Sir

In behalf of the Widow Mary Miller I enter
further testimony to prove her marriage with her late husband Robert Miller - it is not practicable to prove any record testimony
At the time of her marriage, records of marriages were not kept, in this, then Wilderness State-- no regulations then
required it. No family record, is to be found, shewing the marriage. Not many years ago, Mrs. Miller's House was burned with everything of the kind. She has not been able to find any other person living, who was present at the marriage - No one can have grounds to doubt of their marriage- Mr. Miller and his wife were both regular, [illegible] religious persons-
Very respectfully

for Mrs. Miller
