Sir,
 The claim on the part of Mary Bosworth the widow of Jonathan, for the benefit of the Act of July 4, 1836 forwarded to this office with your letter of the 10th June last, is accompanied by no ? Evidence of the date of her marriage nor is there any evidence in her husband’s papers which could show when and where it occurred. His service terminated on September 1779, and to bring her claim within the provisions of the Act of July 4, 1836,  her marriage must be established by Record evidence Prior to his discharge. It probably occurred after that event, as he was a three years man and served his service continuously.
A further effort should be made to ascertain the county in Virginia

Page 17

in which they were married, and to obtain a copy of the marriage bond or license as in court consider such testimony only subscribed that Record does not exist.

It is said a brother John Bozorth served with him thru the war, but we have no record

Revolution in the" Pennsylvania Line", whom I fail to locateand I should be under still greater obligation to you if you would be kind enough to send me a copy of his records.T hanking you again very earnestly for your kindness,
