On this 18th day of July in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred & forty two personally appeared before the subscriber one of the justices of the peace for the State of Maryland in Cecil County, Rebecca Faux a resident of said county, aged nearly ninety years, who being duly sworn, according to law, doth, on her oath, make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the act of Congress, passed July 7th 1838 entitled "An act granting half pay and pension to certain widows." That she is the widow of Patrick Faux who was a private soldier in Captain Jordans Company of artillery; and was enlisted into that company by said Jordan at the town of Lebanon Dauphin County State of Pennsylvania. Previous to this enlistment the said Faux had served sometime as a substitute, but in what corps or for what period the deponent is unable to say: as also the nature of the service on which he was employed. She further declares that she was married to the said Patrick Faux in the year, either 1780 or 81 in the City of Philadelphia State of Pennsylvania from which place she accompanied her husband with his corps to Carlisle in the same state, where he remained until his discharge which she believes, was at the close of the war. That her husband the said Patrick Faux died in the October of 1796 at Shipton Queen Anne County State of Maryland, leaving her the mother of seven children, the youngest of which was about two years old that she was not married to him after his leaving the service, but the marriage took place previous to

Sir

I have informed Rebecca Faux, whose declaration to obtain a pension as widow of Patrick Haux a soldier of the revolution I submitted to you some time since that you deemed it requisite her declaration instead of being made before a Justice of the Peace, should have been made before a Judge or a court of record. This I fear is a condition with which it will be impossible for her to comply. Judge Archer the only judge of a court of record int eh neighborhood resides in Hartford County fifteen miles distant from the residence of Mrs. Faux. Of great age and debilitated by recent sickness, I can say from personal knowledge she cannot possibly make the journey. Under these circumstances I should be glad if you could suggest any other mode within her power by which her declaration may be authenticated. Please to direct your reply to me at New York where I shall be detained sometime on special duty.

I am respectfully
your obedient servant

Sir

The papers in support of the claim of Mrs. Rebecca Faux, widow of Patrick Faux, dec'd have been examined and the paper containing the affidavits of the witnesses as to the claimant's identity is herewith returned in order that their credibility may be certified by the magistrate before whom they were made. The claimant's declaration was made before a Justice of the Peace. She should make a declaration before a Judge of a Court of Record, if not able to appear in open court for that purpose, and the Judge should certify to her inability to appear in open court. There is record evidence of her husband's service in this office. The period of the marriage should be proved by record or documentary evidence or by the testimony of witnesses who had a personal knowledge of her marriage or who knew her to have been a married woman previous to January 1, 1794. The witnesses should give a full and particular statement relative to their knowledge of the marriage.

Sir

I have to request that the claim of Rebecca Faux widow of Patrick Faux and Artificer in the Revolutionary War may be re-examined and if the following points be sufficiently set forth that the said Rebecca Faux be transferred from the Act of 1838 to 1836.

The evidence in the case is as follows:
Patrick Faux inlisted (enlisted) as an Artificer for 3 years in Col. Benj Flower's Regiment, from the 15th January 1778 to 30t April 1784

Certificate of Marriage dated 24th Dec 1780.

The marriage being prior to the expiration of the last period of her husband's service, entitles her I presume to the benefits of the act of 1836.

I have therefore to request that the name of Rebecca Faux be transferred from the act of 1838 to t1836 at the usual rate of compensation.

I am sir,
Very respectfully
