Death by Drowning.
  We are informed that on the night of the 12th inst. Mr. Littleton Hunt, of Gwinnett county, was found dead in the Apalachie in the county, supposed to have been drowned by the horse on which he was riding getting into deep water. Mr. Hunt is said to have been about 107 years old. He was a soldier of the revolution, serving in that war five years; was severely wounded at the battle of Eutaw Springs; fought at the battle of Guilford, and performed about twelve months duty in the neighborhood of Savannah. A braver man, in all probability, never drew a sword in defence [defense] of his country. He was a native of Virginia, but had been for the last 20 years a citizen of Gwinnett county.

Dear Sir:
   Reference is made to your letter in which you request the record of Littleton Hunt, a soldier of the Revolutionary War, who married Sarah Winn, the first daughter of Thomas Winn of Virginia who was born in 1757 and died in 1797.
   The record of Littleton Hunt follows as found in pension claim, W. 3820, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
   Littleton Hunt was born March 23, 1741 or 1742, in Mecklenburgh County, Virginia; the names of his parents are not stated.
   He enlisted in Brunswick County or Mecklenburgh County, Virginia, in February, 1777, served as private in Captain Isaac Hicks' company, Colonels James Scriven's and James Ray's regiments, marched through North and South Carolina and Georgia and was discharged at Savannah in the last named state in February, 1779, having served two years. He enlisted early in the spring of 1780 at Mecklenburg Court House in Virginia, served as a private in Captain Medici's company of cavalry, Colonels Morgan and Washington being the field officers, was in the battles of Stone, Guilford where he was wounded by a splinter in his left thigh, Eutaw Springs where he was severely wounded in his leg, and was discharged sometime in 1781, having served on this tour one year. He volunteered, date not stated, served as a private in Captain Binns Jones' company of cavalry, employed chiefly in driving stock beyond the reach of Cornwallis and in various ways harassing the enemy until after the surrender of Cornwallis, then was engaged in disarming Tories in North and South Carolina and finally discharged after having served on this tour twelve months.
   The soldier was allowed pension on his application executed September 4, 1832, at which time he was a resident of Gwinnett County, Georgia. He died March 11 or 12, 1843.
Page 15

   Littleton Hunt married in May, 1799, in Wilkes County, Georgia, Sarah Winn, whose father lived on the Savannah River in South Carolina. The date of her birth and names of parents were not shown. In 1794, Sarah and the soldier were residing in Abbeville District, South Carolina; in 1803, they were residents of Jackson County, Georgia, and in 1806, were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church there.
   Soldier's widow, Sarah Hunt, was allowed pension on her application executed May 21, 1844, at which time she was aged sixty-nine years and a resident of Hall County, Georgia.
   It was stated that Littleton Hunt and his wife, Sarah, reared a family of children, but no names were designated as such in the claim.
   In 1833, one Elisha Winn was residing in Gwinnett County, Georgia, and stated that he had known the soldier, Littleton Hunt, "forty-five years or upwards," his relationship to soldier's wife, Sarah, not shown, and his age was not stated.
   In 1843, Richard Winn, Sarah Hunt's brother, was living in Hall County, Georgia, to which state he went to live in 1800 or 1801. In 1844, one Richard D. Winn was acting Justice of the Inferior Court for Gwinnett County, Georgia, relationship to the family not given. In 1844, one Elizabeth H. Winn who was born April 2, 1780, stated in Gwinnett County, Georgia, that was married February 11, 1796, to Lemuel Winn, and that she was born and reared within three miles of the home of Sarah Hunt's father, no relationship stated.
   In 1845, Lucretia Winn stated that she married Sarah Hunt's brother in 1790, but did not designate his name, nor give her maiden name. She and her husband moved in 1822 from Georgia to Alabama, and in 1845 they were residing in Tuscaloosa County, that state.

Dear Sir
         The Declaration of Mrs. Sarah Hunt and other affidavits supporting her claim to a pension were sent toe Honorable A. H. Stephens a short time previous to the adjournment of Congress. Your attention to Mrs. Hunt's claim will much oblige a worthy widow.
             The widow of Thomas Perry a revolutionary soldier wishes the records of the War Department examined in search of proof of her husband's service. She states that he was the 9th man in the 9th Reg't. enlisted for during the war under Capt Overton and was discharged by him; that he was one of Washington's Guards [illegible]

I have the honor to inform you that the claim of Sarah Hunt has been examined & filed. The evidence of her husband's service is satisfactory but the alleged date of the marriage should be established by the best attainable proof -- any family register -- letter -- or deed of conveyance recognizing the creation of this man & wife prior to Jan 94 is deemed better evidence than the recollections of deponents respecting the date of a common event transpiring more than a half century

-------------------------------------------
                 EXPLANATORY NOTES.
QUERE V:  In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words:  "Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades;   For ____ yes ____months, and ____ days, I served as a ___ For ____ months, and ____ days, I served as a ___; and for such service I claim a pension.
Page 33

   It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of service. The use of the phrase 'about three or four months' is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours; the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must in every case be clearly shewn [shown] under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.
QUERE XIV.  Proof of service.
   In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their   affidavits the time of the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
QUERE XVI. Mode of authenticating papers.
   In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the paper is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
   In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, has no public seal of office, the certificate of a member of congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.

The applicant must prove his service as required above his name is not upon the rolls.

Gentlemen:
   Littleton Hunt was my Great Grandfather, and it was sugested [suggested] by some one that you might give me a little information whether or not he was a Revolutionary soldier. What regiment, what company, or something of his record.
   The only thing I know about him, I read in an old family history, which was incomplete, that, "Sarah Winn, the first daughter of Thomas Winn, (1757-1797) married Littleton Hunt, who was a Revolutionary Soldier."
  Sarah Winn was from Virginia, but I do not know if he was. If you can find any thing about him and let me hear from you, I will appreciate it.
   A self addressed, stamped envelope is enclosed. Thanking you I am
           Sincerely yours,
             T. E. Vaughan,
             Cartersville, Ga.
