State of Kentucky Jessamine County sct:
On this 24th day of October 1838 personally appeared before Thomas Hawkins Esqr. a justice of the peace for the county and state aforesaid Priscilla Veatch, a resident of said county of Jessamine, aged seventy four years in February past, who, being first 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 7, 1838, entitled "An Act granting half pay and pensions to certain widows:" That she is the widow of Jeremiah Veatch, who was a soldier in the war of the revolution and as such drew a pension from the government of the United States at their agency in Livington Kentucky till his death. She farther declares that she was married to the said Jeremiah Veatch on the eighteenth day of July seventeen hundred and eighty two, by a Babtist preacher by the name of Corbery, whose given name was John, as she believes, though she is not certain. She was married in the state of Pennsylvania not far from Brownstown, & she knows of no record of her marriage except the family record kept by her deceased husband yet in her possession. That her husband, the aforesaid Jeremiah Veatch, died on the thirteenth day of January eighteen hundred and thirty six; that she was not married to him prior to his leaving the service in the war of the revolution, she supposes, though he was out on several campaigns against the Indinians after their marriage; but the marriage took place previous to the first day of January seventeen hundred and ninety four, viz: at the

Priscilla Veatch X her mark

The deposition of William Mahan aged sixty six years taken at the home of Mrs. Priscilla Veatch on the 24th day of October 1838, who being sworn, upon oath states that he has lived in sight of Jeremiah Veatch decd. & his wife Priscilla's farm for the last forty one years, and has known them well since seventeen hundred & eighty nine, which is forty nine years ago. When he first knew them in 1789, they had three children, and from that time to the death of said Jeremiah Veatch, which took place in January 1836, they lived together as man and wife in good repute, and universally recognized as such, without the legality of their marriage ever having been questioned, so far as he has heard. He knows the said Jeremiah Veatch decd was a pensioner of the United States till his death, and that said Priscilla Veatch, who has signed and sworn to the foregoing declaration in his presence, is his surviving widow, who has remained unmarried and single since the death of her said husband. He also states that said Priscilla Veatch is unable from disease and bodily infirmity to attend court. Sworn and subscribed to before Thoms Hawkins Esqr a justice of the peace for the county of Jessamine and state of Kentucky.

Also the deposition of John Veatch, aged forty six years

(lines drawn through above paragraph.)

Also the farther statement of William Mahin taken at the same time said place of his preceding deposition, who, being duly sworn upon oath states, that he is shown by Mrs Priscilla Veatch an ancient Psalm and Prayer book containing a record of the marriages, births and deaths in the family of her deceased husband Jeremiah Veatch, which she states is the old family record of her husband. He has no doubt from the ancient appearance of the book that it is the genuine record kept by her deceased husband, in the hand writing of others, for the old man could not write, but was a remarkably particular man. In that family record the first entry reads thus, Viz: "Jeremiah Veatch and Priscilla his wife was married July 18th Anno Domini 1782." He has no doubt he has seen said old book in the life time of Jeremiah Veatch with said record. For he has seen the old man's family record in his life time, and knows he had one, but could not swear to the identity of the one before him positively, but for its being in the possion of Mrs Veatch. Sworn and subscribed before Thos. Hawkins Esqr. the day and year aforesaid.

Page 19

1833, at which time he resided in Jessamine County, Kentucky; he was then nearly seventy-four years of age.

Jeremiah Veatch died January 13, 1836.

The soldier married in Pennsylvania, not far from Brownstown, July 18, 1782, Priscilla, whose maiden name is not shown.

Priscilla Veatch, the soldier's widow, was allowed pension on her application executed October 24, 1838, at which time she resided in Jessamine County, Kentucky. She was then seventy-four years of age, the date and place of her birth not given.

She died Feburary 13, 1853. [Handwritten to the side: "A.B."]

Thae names of the children of Jeremiah Veatch and Priscilla, his wife, are shown as follow:

Ann Veatch born August 4, 1783.

Francis " October 19, 1794.

In 1839, soldier's son, John W Veatch, was a resident of Jessamine County, Kentucky.

********

ELIJAH VEACH - S. 37498

Elijah Veach, or Veatch, enlisted in Morgantown, Virginia, in January, 1777, served as private in Lieutenant Springer's company, Colonel Crawford's Virginia regiment and was discharged at the expiration of service of three years; he enlisted and served ten months under

Elijah Veach, or Veatch, was allowed pension on his application executed May 25, 1818, at which time he resided in Caldwell County, Kentucky. In 1820, the soldier gave his age as sixty-five years, the date and place of his birth and names of his parents not shown. He stated then that his family consisted of his wife, aged fifty-five years, a daughter, aged thirty-five years, a son aged sixteen years, and an "orphan grandchild two years and three months", but he did not give any of the names of said family.

In 1843, one E D Veatch, of Mercer County, Kentucky, stated that he was one of the heirs of Elijah Veatch, the pensioner, but he did not state the relationship between them, in this pension claim.

****************

In making a search of the record in your behalf, the record of Daniel Veatch has been found which, it is believed, will be of interest to you, and is furnished in addition to other two records. The date which follow are found in pension claim, P. 10925, based upon the service of Daniel Veatch in the Revolutionary War.

DANIEL VEATCH - R. 10925

Daniel Veatch married about the year 1788, at Harrod's Station, Lincoln County, Kentucky, Mrs. Charity Baker; she was born April 22, 1769, the place and names of her parents not stated.

He died sometime in July 1806; his widow, Charity Veatch, died February 6, 1850.

The names of the children of Daniel Veatch and Charity, his wife, are shown as follow:

3.
Page 21

Hannah Veatch born July 31, 1792.
Hester " " September 19, 1794.
Polly " " October 28, 1797.
Isabella " " October 24, 1799.
John D. " " October 16, 1801.
Eleven D. " " November 1, 1803.
William " " March 20, 1806.

Only two of the above named children were living in 1853, Isabella Gritton, or Grittor, and E D Veatch.

On April 20, 1853, E D Veatch, applied in Mercer County, Kentucky, for the pension that might have been due on account of the service of his father in the Revolutionary War. He stated then that his father, Daniel Veatch, enlisted in the State of Maryland, for five years, or for the war, that he served upwards of two years, and served to the close of the war; also, that he did not know the exact dates of enlistments and names of officers, but that he served in the same companies with his older brother, Elijah Veatch who was a pensioner of Kentucky in 1826. E D Veatch was then (1826) a resident of Woodford County, Kentucky.

The claim was not allowed as there was then no provision of law under which the child of a Revolutionary War soldier was entitled to pension.

There are no further family data in the papers on file in this claim.

Very truly yours,

A D HILLER,
Assistant to Administrator.

After taking the depon of Mr Mahin, and learning that John Veatch, (the only child remaining with the old woman,) could prove that the family record containing her marriage, as entailed in Mr. Mahin's sworn depon was the record kept by his deceased father, Jeremiah Veatch; I commenced the deposition, taking the age of John Veatch from the same family record then before me, but when he was sent for. (for he was then out in the field at work) to my surprise and the mortification of the old woman, he would give no depo. alleging as the reason, that he and the other children of Mrs. Veatch had had some unpleasant feeling growing out of the pension recd by his father in his life time - they accusing him of getting much of it from the old man; and that he would have nothing to do with his mother's claim when this claim is acted upon, let me

hear the result.

Commissioner of Pensions
Sir: Wishing to prove my eligibility to join the Society of Sons of the American Revolution, I am trying to learn of the service of my paternal Grandfather Jeremiah Veatch, [written above Jerremiah's name: "W 8800"]who my parents told me served in the Revolutionary War (I think from Maryland, and that a Land Warrant was issued for such service either to him or to his widow. He removed to Jessamine County, Ky. after that war and both he and his wife - my grandparents - died there. My parents are long since dead, and I have no Bible or other documentary evidence of the birth or death of my grandparents or of his service. Will you please inform me if the Records of the Pension office show any pensions to Jeremiah Veatch or to his widow, and his rank + service? Neither the Adgt Genl of Md. nor War Dept show his name, but both state that their Records are not nearly complete.
Will you please give me all the information you can in relation to this matter for which I thank you in advance. Answer to me, "Care of Capt. Milton Garrigus, Kokomo, Ind." as he was my Capt. during the Civil War.
Very Respectfully, James D Veatch
P.S. my father was born in Ky in 1796.
