I received your answer a few days ago respecting the claim of a widow of a Revolutionary soldier. I can inform you that the widows name when she married her first husband was Elizabeth Whitley she married her first husband in the year 1782 his name was Jesse Lee he died in the year 1805. In the year of 1821 she married her second husband his name was David Hunt. He died in the year 1829 and drew a pension until he died. Her present name is Elizabeth Hunt. If she is entitled to a pension from the death of both her husbands or either of them you will inform me and the amt. under each and also what course to pursue to get it.
Yours with respect

Dear Madam: 

The data which follow were obatined from the papers on file in pension claim, S. 41671, based upon the Revolutionary War service of David Hunt. 
The date and place of soldier's birth and names of his parents are not shown in the claim. 
He enlisted July 20, 1778, in Edgecombe County, North Carolina, and served as a private in John Baker's company, Colonel Hogun's North Carolina regiment, length of service nine months. 
David Hunt was allowed pension on his application executed May 10, 1819, at which time he was a resident of Nash County, North Carolina, and stated that he was aged seventy-six years. 
In 1820, David Hunt, while living in Nash County, North Carolina, stated that he was aged about eighty years and that his wife, whose name he did not give, was about fifty years old; no reference was made in the claim to her death. 
One Joshua Barnes, of Topknot Depot, North Carolina, states in a letter dated August 26, 1842, that the name of the wife of David Hunt, the pensioner, was Elizabeth Lee to whom he was married in 1821; that she was the widow of Jesse Lee to whom she was married in 1782, and who died in 1805; that her maiden name was Elizabeth Whitley, also that David Hunt died in 1829.
