The declaration and accompanying papers of Winifred Jackson, widow of Isaac, have been received and filed.

No such evidence of the date of her marriage as our rules require has been exhibited.

It must be shown by the certification of the proper custodian of marriage register for the County in which it occurred or by some family record. If none such exist, that fact must be duly shown. And should no other means of proving it be less than heard testimony, it must be given by some one who was old enough to remember the date and can show by probable circumstances that he can remember it, not, as in this instance, by one then a boy of eight years old.

BA-J/MLB OM

Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Isaac Jackson, Senior, aged
eighty-six years in 1841, and residing in Edgecomb [Edgecombe] County, North Carolina, also, of William Lingo, who in 1841 was aged forty-four years and a resident of Hardin County, Kentucky.

The Revolutionary War records of this office have been searched and no claim for pension found based upon service in that
war of the William Lingo described by you.

The soldier, William Lingo, cited by you as a pensioner of the Revolutionary War residing in the 1st District, Hardin County,
Kentucky, was a soldier of the War of 1812 who in 1840 was a resident of Hardin County, Tennessee (1st District). As you are
interested in a Revolutionary War soldier of that name, it is assumed that this record is not the one in which you are interested.

The record has been found of an Isaac Jackson, of Edgecomb [Edgecombe] County, North Carolina, which is furnished herewith.

Very truly yours
