Before me a Justice of the Inferior Court in and for said County and State personally comes George H. Evans whose residence and post office address is the City of Augusta in said County, and on oath says that he was well acquainted with Phillip Lumpkin of the County of Burke said State sometime deceased; that deponent was related to said Philip by marriage having married his granddaughter; that deponent had heard from the said Philip and the family connections that he had lived in the State of Virginia, moved to the State of Kentucky and finally settled in Georgia. Deponent states that he was present at the marriage of said Philip with one Nancy Linds now Nancy Rogers. They were married at the house of Judge Lowe in Jefferson County said State, by Jordan Smith a minister of the Gospel; and that to the best of deponent's recollection it was about the year 1827; that said Philip and Nancy lived together as man and wife at the said Philip's plantation in Burke County about six miles in a northwest direction from Waynesboro and near to Walkers bridge on Briar Creek. When the said Philip died deponent thinks about the year 1837 aged about seventy seven years deponent thinks and leaving as his widow the said Nancy. that at the time of the said marriage Philip Lumpkin was a widower. Deponent further states that the said Nancy afterwards married John Rogers of said County, and that they lived together as mane and wife on their place in Burke County near Rocky Creek about six miles west of Waynesboro until the moved to the latter place, where they resided until about one year of the said John Rogers
Page 29


which occurred as Deponent has been informed and believes on his place within two or three miles to the south west of Waynesboro. Sometime in the year 1859, he leaving said Nancy again a widow. Deponent further states that he has an indistinct recollection of having heard from said Philip Lumpkin that he was a soldier in the War of the Revolution and from Virginia, and that he was a pensioner of the United Stated Government. Deponent further states that he never knew any other Philip Lumpkin living in the County of Burke save & except the one herein mentioned, and is quite sure that there was no other in said County. Deponent being himself well acquainted with said County of Burke and having lived then himself about twenty five years; And Deponent from all the circumstances, this acquaintance with the parties has not the least doubt that if there was on the Burke County Georgia list between 1827 and 1837 or about that time, and pensioner by the name of Philip Lumpkin, living in said County of Burke, that he was the identical Philip mentioned in this affidavit, and that the present Mrs. Nancy Rogers living near Waynesboro in Burke Count was the widow of said Philip. Deponent further says that he is now about fifty four years old, and has no interest in the claim of Mrs. Nancy Rogers for Bounty Land, pension or arrear of pension on account of the services of said Philip Lumpkin.
