Proctor, Ausley Co Ky 3rd Jan 1857

On the 9th April 1856 Mrs. Hannah Hurley widow of Nehemiah Hurley is made a declaration for a pension. She states she cannot tell how long her husband served in the revolutionary war but quite the whole time. At the time of his entering the Service he was a resident of the State of Delaware. She could not recollect distinctly her husbands officers but her [illegible] impression was; that his cap was either Capt Williams, or Baker, and that Pierson was his col. I have written several letters to Dover and cannot get no confirmation; that is I cant get no reply to my communications. I therefore enclose to you the power of Atto and a statement of hers in order that you may look into the case. She is now 92 years of age. A matter of course she is quite infirm and cant tell nothing correctly.

She thinks also that her husband Nehemiah was promoted to some office, lest she cant say distinctly.

The old lady desires that you will aid her in finding out whether her husband was in Service, or not. as she is very needy. Nehemiah died near about 29 years ago. This accounts for the delay.

I have the honor to be your very obedient Servant.
