DeKalb County ⎬ Personally came & appeared before me,John G. Flowers
an acting Justice of the peace
in & for the County aforesaid, William Cash who after being first duly sworn deposeth & saith that John Cash late of Henry County deceased who was a
Revolutionary soldier was the brother of Deponent and was about four years older than deponent. The deponent will be eighty-five years of age if he lives to see the 14th day of February next. Deponents father & all his family resided at the time of the Revolutionary war in Amherst
County & State of Virginia. Deponent was not present when his brother John Cash deceased was married but has the best of reasons to believe that he was lawfully married as he resided in the neighborhood at the time & heard
that he was married on a certain day & that then was an_____ at his fathers house
on the next day & from that time until the day of his death he & his wife lived together as man & wife & were reputed & generally believed so to be, and they raised a family of children, sons & daughters, the reason why deponent was
not at the wedding himself is that he was sick at the time & unable to go, the name of John Cash's wife prior to her marriage was Lucy Campbell & a short time, after the time that Deponent heard of their marriage, he went to his brother John's house & saw him the said
Lucy living together as man & wife, and as to the date of said marriage Deponent is positively certain that it took place previous to the year 1794 for the following reasons, Deponent was
Page 15


married himself on the fifth day of June in the year 1781 which was the summer before Lord Cornwallis was taken, & brother John was married in the winter following the surrender of Cornwallis to wit in the winter or spring of 1782. He can also state another fact which will go to shew the date of said marriage. He knows that he was married previous to the birth of Deponents oldest child & by a reference to the family record and
in which deponent registered the ages of his children he sues that his eldest child
which was a daughter by the name of Effey was born on the third day of May in the year 1783.

he believes the son of John Cash decd & Lucy Cash, that he is now sixty-five years of age, and that he was born, on the Sixth day of November 1784, of this fact he acquired this knowledge from his parents, and pursuing his name with registered in the family Bible
of this deceased father, the entry was made in said deceased our handwriting. The Bible this deponent is informed and believes was consumed by fire, in a house in which the dec'd lived near McDonough in Henry County in the neighborhood of the Revd James Gamble & others-- The earliest
knowledge, now remembered, which this deponent has of his deceased Father, is that his father, & mother, moved, from Amherst County Georgia into Bedford, Virginia in or about the year 1789.
1779 deponent was then in the fifth of sixth year of his age, deponent well remembers, that his Father
rode into James River in a white mare, & with an axe broke the ice to make a passage. They resided in Elbert, until this deponent was eight
teen years old, he recollects that James Saunders and Isaac Oty were members of the Legislature
of Virginia at that time. from thence  his parents moved to Elbert County Georgia, and lived there, until 1827, or eight or somewhere , when they moved to McDonagh, Henry County.
This deponent never heard anything to the contrary that his Father & mother were married
about Twenty months before this deponent was born, This deponent is very distinct in his recollecting ┃
of the date of his birth from his Fathers registry both
Page 31

from the fact of seeing it, & from the fact, that deponent copied his own age into his own family Bible, which he has now at home, he also distinctly recollect the fact of moving from Amherst to Bedford, and that he was then between four going on six years of age.

assigned for his not doing so?
IV. Has the declarant mentioned the period or periods of the war when he served?
V. *Has he mentioned with precision the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the department to determine to what amount of pension

XI.
2
Has the applicant obtained the evidence of a clergyman and another respectable citizen as to

service?
XII.
If the clergyman's affidavit has not been produced, is there any reason assigned for not obtaining

if not, which of them is not so answered?
Q.
EXPLANATORY NOTES.
QUERE V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how
long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words:
Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being
duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he
cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection
he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades; Foryear

months, and --- days, I served as a
Formonths

and days, I served as a ; and for such service I claim a pension.
Page 40

3
It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served,
and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the
pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite
, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions
merely state they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours; the names of the
officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objection
able. It must in every case be clearly shewn under what officers the applicant served; the duration
of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the
applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either
in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed
in any civil pursuit.
QUERE XIV. Proof of Service.
prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of
the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the
regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths
must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate
must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
QUERE XVI. Mode of authenticating papers.written

on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate
must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass
under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly
attached to the certificate.
In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, has no public seal of
office, the certificate of a member of congress, proving the official character and signature of the
certifying officer, should accompany the papers.

Sir,
I have just received a letter from Andrew R. Moore of McDonough Georgia inquiring
after the papers of Mrs. Lucy Cash, widow of John Cash (late Revolutionary pensioner)
claiming a Pension which he says he forwarded some time ago to your office and
of which he has heard nothing since.
Will you inform me whether they
were received and what is the
difficulty if any in the way  of allowing her the pension claimed.

Dear Sir
Since my last to you in
the subject of Mrs Lucy Cash's application for a pension, I have received a reply from the Clerk of Amherst County Virginia who informed me. That no registry of the marriage appears on record. Since the reception of that letter, I have proved another affidavit from the Brother of the
husband which I now enclose, hoping
that it may be sufficient. The first
is perhaps the only living witness, who
knows any thing about her marriage.
s
She has a son about sixty or many years
old who could come pretty near the
requisitions laid down, his birth
have been so long before the date
which you require the marriage
to be proved That he could prove
them living as man & wife, Claiming
him as the son, & that they always after
wards lived together as such.
Now I pray you look with as compassionate eyes as possible upon this application and grant it if you can consistently.
Yours Respectfully
Andrew Moore

Gentlemen
I have at last succeeded in obtaining the best information   to be had from the only surviving witness who could say any thing about the Marriage of Mrs. Lucy Cash and herein Enclose you the same.  I feel a great intent for Mrs. Cash who for thirty years has not been able to stand erect & has now two daughters as are unable to work a thus hardly supports them. Their remaining support is from the charity of John Lamar, who has enough to
to support himself & family they
have been a heavy charge for him
for four or more years - and an as good people as ever lived.
your respectfully

P.S. Should be much
gratified with speedy
action on the matter &
would he please to send
information on the subject

McDonough Henry County Ga Jany 6th 1845
Dear Sir,
Before forwarding to the War Department the declaration of Mrs Lucy Cash, I had written To the Clerk of the Court in Amherst County
Virginia, for the purpose of ascertaining, whether there was any record of the Marriage. To which I received no reply. You were also informed that the family register was consumed by fire. The affidavit of the brother of her husband is the only living Testimony to be had and 
from her statement it is very doubtful, whether there is any record of her marriage.  I will however inquire again & endeavor to obtain a reply. 
I was very anxious indeed that the pension should be granted & have no doubt of her marriage as stated by her. For in addition to a life of purity & piety, to sustain it-- I could but consider That from his daily looking for her deposition her statements were entitled to be considered
as of equal weight, with the dying declaration of a _____ man in courts of Justice you also have the evidence of John Cash, as his birth and residence in Amherst & various other places , which statement she never saw and I had and the correspondence between hers his would have secured the greatly needed benefit.
yours respectfully

McDonough, Sept 4th 1845
Dear Sir

Enclosed I send you an application for a pension on behalf of Mrs Lucy Cash for whose husband deceased, and in his life time, I made application & obtained a pension. His certificate I forwarded to Savannah and sending 
or last payment he received, by request of the agent for paying pensions in Savannah. There is no witness living who personally 
knew of the marriage & the questions presents itself whether in the absence of a witness, she cannot receive a pension. Any reasonable number of witnesses can be had to prove that they lived together as man and wife, and I believe a man more creditable ___ family does not live. When an inspection of John Cash's declaration I have thought that sufficient corrobative testimony couldn't be had. For as well as I recollect, he did as required give detailed account of the place of his several years of 
 marriage & his several places of rent ____  I have endeavored to get the affidavit of a very old & infirm 
 brother, James Cash, who knows
that he saw John Cash and his
wife a few days after the marriage
was said to have taken place. But
Page 54

he is too infirm to leave home & the
old creature cannot provide a
person to go for her to him.  
He lives, sixty miles from her. So far as my affidavit is concerned,
perhaps you may receive some evidence of the credence of the right to which it entitled for the whole representation from Georgia, and also as to Mr. John Lamars, Col
H Hanson, Mr.  Stephens, Benion
Cobb Poe _____all of them I believe
are personally acquainted with him.
a please give me an answer as to your 
 determination.

Yours respectfully
Andrew R. Moore
Page 55

Amherst  July 30 1846
Dear Sir 
Yours of the 23 insta came duly to hand. It would afford me pleasure to get the evidence you desire of the marriage of Mrs. Cash, but I fear it is a hope
less task, as there are so few persons living, old enough to testify to a fact which happened 60 years ago and I have no expectation that any such register as you suggest has been preserved in the Presbyterian Church or even if it had that it could now be found. The minister you say was a travelling one, his name is not given, neither is his location. Several other couples were married at the same time, if their names were given it might assist in procuring the testimony.
Mrs. Cash says she was married at the house of Charles Rose - Col. Charles Rose lived and died about nine miles from here. He died upwards of 40 years ago. His son in law and daughter still reside at the same place but are 
not old enough to remember the marriage of Mrs. Cash - but by possibility they may know some old person or other in the neighborhood who remembers it. 
This I think is about the only chance of obtaining the desired information, and I shall try to get the information through them. If that fails, I know of no
other chance. If you had given further particulars, they might have been useful. 
Their daughter was Lucy Campbell. Did she live with her father if not who did she live with. where did she live, whose son was John Carl, where & with whom did he live? 
These circumstances might refresh the memory of any one old enough to recollect the events of that day. 
By the bye how is it that you are driven to actual proof of the
Page 56

marriage. Can't you prove it by cohabitation, common fame, names
or is it important to prove they did ....
Willing more cheerful to render to Mrs. Cash any service I can in this 
matter. I remain
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
Robert Tensley

I shall write you if I am successful in obtaining evidence.

Dear Sir,

Yours of May 26th was received. There being no Court of record in which a registry of death is ever made, it is impossible to prove such a Certificate as you mention unless, proof should be made before a Court & that certify to the fact. And then, it would be of a matter not properly being to the ordinary or
was extraordinary legal business of the Court supposing that the action the Judge of a court upon the same evidence, in Chambers, would stand upon the same footing as if he were
on the bench. I have provided the certificate of Judge James H Stack, of this place, hoping it may suffice. I furnish any number from one to a thousand of witnesses here, to the fact of her death, but suppose it unnecessary. We will comply with any requisition you may make.

Dear sir

Yours of the 17th requiring the
Certificate of same Court of record, to shew the number of surviving children of Lucy Cash decd is before me. How that is to be procured. I do not know, there is no court in Georgia or any of the states, that I know of, which takes cognizance of births & death, or registers families
or requires, such matters to be reported, how is any Court to know, how many children there were how many dead, & how many living, some of whom were born in Virginia, some in South Carolina,
some in Georgia, & some are now in GA and if alive one is living in Mississippi. The Court must be informed by others who do know, & by their oaths, and the certificate be founded at last upon the oaths of these interested without any contest in the Court, or opposition, which would lead to discovery to the reverse of the information of those interests. For of others not interested, 
Then must the interested, hunt up, witnesses to the death of persons of the name of Cash leaving the proof of their being children of Lucy Cash, still to be proved, by the survivor is not at all, I confess I am at a loss how now to proceed.  Interested persons being excluded and having no instructions how to proceed, or what will do, and apprehend that whatever step I may take will result, in producing other difficulties which when removed, will bring on others. 
I supposed that an administration
would do, as an administration would be bound by
Page 63

his oath, his Bond & security, to pay over only to the children & all of them at his peril or of the certificate was given to myself as agent only for the use, I would be a Trustee, of the fund, liable to be sued held to Bail, or even to criminal prosecution for breach of Trust confidence reposed
under the statute of this state, The evidence would be an exemplification from your department from the agency for paying Pensions, & the receipts of the Pension itself. Well fix as you may still you have no greater security, for universally, The agent or Atty (I believe) receives & pay over, and as Trustee, would be bound to pay to all those entitled, & those
only, if the Certificate was granted, & the Children should be called in different States. Then these would have to be a string of applications, certificates & County Seals swallowing up the Pension, by expenses, accumulating at every step. It has occurred to me that this
arranger might be made, Let the certificate issue the agent to draw the pension, forward the Certificate to the Postmaster, with directions only to deliver to the agent or atty executing a receipt for the original, a copy of which shall precede the receipt & also a Bond double the amount of Pension, conditioned to be void upon pay over of the pension, & returning
receipts for the same to the P.M as agent of the department. The agent or persons to pay them a reasonable fee for the service
Page 64

such a course would save trouble
delay and expense. How would it do to issue, to the children living
at the death of Lucy Cash, payable to the agent for their use, upon the agent or Atty, proving to the agent for paying pensions a Certificate from the Clerk of the Court or Ordinary that such agent or Atty had in his presence of deposited to end and & Security in twice the amount of the pension mentioned, binding for the payment of the money to all the children living at the death of Lucy.
 I do not wish to be troublesome, by any means & hope my suggestions, will not be considered as improper
by design, would rather prosecute a Bill in Chancery - that would require, a week to introduce the evidence, than a small business that increases in difficulties as it travels. The two
daughters were sworn & their character for veracity, supported by others. It is hardly to be supposed they would commit Paying-- to exclude a brother or a sister, when that brother or sister, could both prosecute for the time, & sue for the money.
Yours respectfully

children. Of the truth of which I have no doubt-- but know nothing personally-- Mr & Mrs Cash at the period spoken were old and a large family grown up-- but that
they were married before 1794 is to me nothing but reasonable inference.

Sir,
I have the honor to inform you that the affidavit _____ Cash in the case of Lucy Cash, widow of John Cash, is but a duplicate of his former testimony, and consequently adds nothing to the proof heretofore filed.
Persons who could write, and of course can keep no memorandum of dates Court be relied upon to establish with any degree of certainty the particular date of an Ordinary event after an elapse of more than fifty years.
If Mrs. Cash was married as early as
1782 she should find no difficulty in shewing the existence of the relation of husband and wife prior to 1794, by persons of the highest respectability, who were the associates with her children by comparing their ages
with their own.
I have the honor to be
Very respectfully
Your obedient Servant,
G W Crump
