Certificate of James Moore
I James Moore of Anson County State of North Carolina aged 81 years the 14th day January next do certify that I knew John Hubbard and Milley Brafsil before the revolu-tionary war.  Milley Brafsil was the daughter of William Brafsil of Tar River in Nash County. I lived in four miles & half of old Mr Brafsils at the time that Milley and John Hubbard was married. They were married in the year 1777.  I was not present to see them married but not a single doubt remains on my mind of that fact. No body never disputed that as ever I heard of.  John Hubbard lived in Franklin County & I lived in Nash in four miles of each other from the time they were married until the year 1805 I moved to Anson and in 1806 John Hubbard move to Anson where we have lived about ten miles of each other until he died which was on the 2 September 1832.  Milley Hubbard widow of John Hubbard deceased is the the and was the identical Milly Brafsil as above who is the lawful widow of John Hubbard deceased which is the widow Hubbard at this time. The above named John Hubbard was drafted or volunteered and served two tours of duty as a private in the militia service in behalf of the United States. I was not with him my self but as I lived a neigh-bour to him I recollect his being from home and he always had the character of being a good Whig and I believe he was- also I believe that he served one year and six months including the service done in the continental line not a doubt remains on my mind of that fact. – I was often drafted but hired a man sworn to and subscribed this 31st day of December 1836.

Personally appeared before me James Gordon one of the acting Justices of the Peace in aforesaid county Milley HUbbard widow of John Hubbard deceased a soldier of the revolutionary war. Who being first duly sworn according to law doth on her oath give as her reasons why her deceased husband John Hubbard never applied for a pension under the act of March 18th 1878. That she does not believe that her deceased husband John Hubbard ever had any knowledge of such an act as March the 18th 1818. That he was a very ignorant man as to laws or public news. That he never took a newspaper nor hardly ever went from home being in bad health for many years before his death he could not write himself. Neither did he hardly ever read anything but large book print. She does not know of any living person by whom I could prove his services.

We Rubin Phillips and James Gordon two of the acting Justices of the Peace in and for the county & State aforesaid at the house of Milley Hubbard widow of John Hubbard deceased a revolutionary soldier.

That she is the widow of John Hubbard deceased who was a private foot soldier in the army of the revolutionary war about two or three years after we were married. My husband John Hubbard was a volunteer or drafted into the service & served two tours of duty of three months each in the militia service but the day or month I do not recollect. He enlisted in the Continental line for twelve months and served his time out the month or year not recollected.

Eaves a Capt Richards at the time he was discharged he was near Charlestown South Carolina and after he left the camps to come home he was taken sick on the road & like to died an was detained by sicknefs for a good while before he was able to get home. We lived then in Franklin County in N Carolina, and continued to live there for several years. Then moved into Nash County near the Nash & Franklin County line where we levied until 1806. We moved to Anson County where I live yet & where my husband died. She further declares that she was married to the said John Hubbard in the year 1777. By William Capples a minister

I claim a pension. I have no papers to prove his service or our marriage nor do I no of any living person by whom I could.
