     On this 25th day of December 1845 before me Joseph R. Carter a Justice of the Peace in and for the County and State aforesaid, personally appeared Mrs Wilmuth Dibrell aged seventy one years, a resident of the County and state aforesaid, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on her oath make the following Declaration in order to obtain the benefits of the provision made by the Act of congress passed July 7th 1838.  That she is the Widow of Anthony Dibrell dec'd, who was a soldier in the War of the Revolution.  She is unable to speak in the relation to the services of her husband during the Revolutionary War, only that she has heard him (the said Anthony Dibrell) speak of his having been in service, she is dependent on others to say, not recollecting, if indeed she ever knew, as she was married to him some eight or nine years after the war was closed --that she was married in the county of Amherst and State of Virginia in the year seventeen hundred and ninety, that he died in the year Eighteen hundred and sixteen, and that she has remained a widow ever since that period, as will more fully appear by reference to the proof hereto annexed.

Dear Sir
     I take the liberty of enclosing you my Mothers Declaration, together with proof of my Fathers service and marriage to ask your kind aid in her behalf in obtaining a pension for her, under the Act of Congress passed July 7, 1838, and knowing that you are well acquainted with the affiants in the case, viz, the Messrs Patteson & Capt Jno. Thomas, as being the most credible witnesses, (which fact being made known by you to the Commissioner of Pensions will have great influence, I cannot doubt my mothers success.     
     She is quite old and infirm, very needy and is indeed entirely dependent on her her children (who are also needy) for support.  Should you be personally acquainted with the Commissioner of Pensions, and will do me the favor to see him at his office, he will doubtless consent to act at once on my Mothers petition; otherwise, if must remain in his office until reached in the regular course of business, which may not happen for several months to come.
     I have the pleasure of knowing several other members of Congress, but prefer sending these papers to your care, because you are a resident of my native county, and personally know the respectable standing of the gentlemen who testify in the case -- Your kind interference in the matter will confer on my mother lasting obligation to you, and be regarded as a particular favor by
                       Your friend & most obt. servt,

Dear Madam:
     Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Anthony Dibrell, of Buckingham County, Virginia, whose widow, Wilmouth Watson Dibrell, received a pension.
     The record of Anthony Dibrell follows as obtained from pension claim, W. 3398, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
     The date and place of soldier's birth and names of his parents are not shown.
     Anthony Dibrell enlisted about February, 1778, and served three months s lieutenant or ensign in Captain John Moseley's company at Albemarle Barracks, Virginia, where he guarded prisoners taken at Burgoyne's defeat at Stillwater, New York.  Early in February, 1781, he enlisted in Buckingham County, Virginia, and served three months in colonel John Holcombe's Virginia regiment, and was in the battle of Guilford court House; in May or June, 1781, he was ordered by colonel John Cabell to remove military stores from Scott's Ferry to New London, Bedford county, Virginia, and in September of the same year, he went to Yorktown where he remained until after the surrender of Cornwallis.
     He died in 1816 in Buckingham county, Virginia.
     Anthony Dibrell, a bachelor, married in 1790 in Amherst County, Virginia, Wilmuth or Wilmouth Watson, a spinster;  they were both residents of said Amherst County; their marriage bond, dated November 3, 1790, was signed by the soldier and one James Watson, whose relationship to soldier's wife was not shown, and was recorded in the County Clerk's Office of Amherst County, Virginia.
     Soldier's widow, Wilmuth or Wilmouth Dibrell, was allowed pension on her application executed December 25, 1845, at which time

Page 9

she was aged seventy-one years and residing in Amherst County, Virginia.  in 1848, she was living in Nelson County, Virginia.
     Children of the soldier, Anthony Dibrell, and his wife Wilmuth or Wilmouth, were referred to in 1846, but the only name given was that of a son, Charles L. Dibrell, who, at that time was a resident of Richmond, Virginia, and was still living there in 1848.

Sir
     I send you inclosed the declaration of Wilmuth Dibrell a pension under the Act of 17th June 1844 made to obtain the benefits of the pension of the Act of the 2nd Feby 1868.  Be pleased to send me a pension certificate for her.

JL Edwards Esq.
At the suggestion of the Pension Agent in this place, I enclose you the voucher of Mrs. Wilmuth Dibrell (in which I am made the atty) as also the original certificate that you may examine and authorize payment to be made which the Pension Agt. says he would prefer, since there are two small errors to wit.  The name of Wilmuth is written Willmouth in the certificate of Pension, and in two of the Powers of Atty, there are slight erasures.  If payment can be authorized by you it would save considerable trouble, as mistakes are so trifling.  I presume there will be no doubt of its being done --
     My name you will observe is written in one instance without any erasure and in the other two there appears simply an erasure of the two first letters.
                                Very Respectfully,
                                Your obt svt
