*This declaration must be accompanied by satisfactory proof of the marriage, of the husband's death, and the present widowhood of the claimant. If there be a public record of the marriage, a duly certified copy of it should be forwarded, if possible. If there be none but a private or family record, such family record, or a certified copy of the same, should be forwarded, with the affidavit of some disinterested persons proving the genuineness of the original and the correctness of the copy. If no public or private record of the marriage exist, or can be procured, that fact should be set forth in the declaration; and in such case, other evidences—such as the testimony of persons who knew the parties in the lifetime of the husband, and knew them to cohabit as husband and wife, and to be so reputed—will be admissible.
In no case, however, will the mere statement of witnesses that the claimant is the widow of the deceased be taken as evidence of the marriage; but the witnesses must state the facts and circumstances from which they derive their knowledge or opinion that she is the widow of the deceased.

Dear Sir — Feb 17-1887 I had the honor of answering your letter dated the 27 Feb last respecting Land Bounty. I now take the liberty to ask of you, please call your particular attention, to my Mother Mary W m  Clay under the Law of 1836 which says any person who was married before the 3 day of Nov 1783 shall receive the annuity or pension which might have been allowed to her Husband during her Widowhood. Mother was married the 28 of June 1783. In June 1838 I went to Washington respecting additional Land Bounty due by the U S to Father, which I got. I got in conversation with Mr C Travis . He asked me whether Mother was living, if so, she is entitled, to a pension under the Law of 1836. He gave me a letter of introduction to Doctor Crumpe ; the Doctor asked me how old Mother was I didn't know, he said if she is 75 years old & was married before the 3 day of Nov 1783 she is entitled to a pension under the Law of 1836. And advised me to return Home, & know, which I done in haste. I had reference to the Bible & found she was married the 28 June 1783. The next day I started to Epsit Court House. & got a copy of the Marriage Bond which answered the same purpose. Forthwith I returned to Washington, showed it to Col J. F. Edmonds . He sent back & picked up, a small parcel, and handed to me, saying your Father, must be be in Field or Garrison where married. a great astonishment to me, My Resp. Res. we had some words; & I left the Gentleman. I afterwards went to Lyttle Fork between them a Member of Cong. Judge White Silas Wright Morris from Ohio found & declared from v o & likely W m C Travis and a good many others all was of the opinion that if I had any right of allowed the claim for him being for during the war and on Furlough they considered him as being in actual service. St- Wm White served in the war of the revolution in the State of Continental Line and was one of those worthy of being Served & Sufferings & Sufferings have so just a title to the approbation & rewards of their country as was truthfully remarked in the adopted report of the 23 of March 1783 He never did lose one but held his commission like other Supernumerary officers was continued after the induction of his Regiment as in the service & paid as in the service up to the first of the year 1783 He settled the 28 of January 1784 v o record

Col George Gibson Regiment became Continental by the act of General Government Substituting His for the 9 th Va Continentals the  the  the which had become nearly cut up in the Service; therefore it was that said Wm White was continued in Service under pay as a Continental Officer to the close of the War & was entitled to Commutation pay from The General Government as well as Half pay from the State of Va
I have Warrants on Va for Additional Land bounty commencing at Wm White the the 1 st day of May 1775 to the close of the War the 15 th of Apr 1783 and you know that no person could receive additional Land bounty from the U.S but those who served during the War Please pay particular attention and allow the claim for it is just when John W Brach being the Attorney for the Ex rs of Lt Wm White he said that it was no trouble for Lt Wm White's claim was so plain that they had no difficulty with it. that was under the Law of 1832 A smart hint on Col the I say it is a pity but that he had of been old enough in 1775 and had of been in the War and heard at Burnside Hill Gorman Town Brandy Wine Cow pens & Cannon balls & Musket balls whistling around his head. The old Gentleman would of said after long life passing a Law rewarding Him for his bravery for being for during the War that He must be in full or Goresome I say the Law says Service If Col I L E had to of married in parts people would of thought the Gentleman must of been very honorable for a little of the Marblehead Proclamation H C I am Your Obed t Servant to the Hon

Sir
I am in receipt of your letter of the 25 th inst, enclosing a copy of a letter addressed to Hon George M. Jones, under date of Feby 6 th 1854, in relation to the case of "Caly White, widow of Levi W m White" of the Revolutionary war,
I regard the case of Caly White under act July 4 th 1836, as already made out, and so admitted to be, by your letter to the Hon Mr Jones; Without going into any argument, at present, I will call your attention to some facts in the case, which I am sure have never been considered by the Commission of Pensions.
First: I contend that Levi W m White, the husband to Caly, served to the end of the war,
Second: I contend that if Levi W m White, who died 2 nd  February 1812, was living in 1830, that he would have been entitled to act May 15 th 1828,
Third: I contend that if Levi W m White was living when the act of June 7 th 1832, was passed, the question to a full pension of 2 years, at $320 per annum, could not have been raised in the case.
What are some of the recorded facts in the case?
First: That Levi W m White was paid to 6 th February 1783, and received at that time Land Bounty for three years service, the same amount of Land Bounty being allowed for 3 or 6 years service.

Second: I can show from the records in your office, where two distinguished officers in Col George Gibson Reg t received the benefits of act May 15 th 1828, and that these same officers were in precisely the same condition of Lieut W m White, so that if White had been living, he would also have been entitled under the same act.
Third: For the reasons above given I think it conclusively established that Lieut W m White, had he been living would have been entitled to all the benefits of the act of June 7 th 1832, - The act of July 4 th 1836, based on the act of June 7 th 1832. The question arises respecting Mrs Mary White as widow of Lieut W m White is entitled to the provisions July 4 th 1836?
Did Lieut W m White serve "a period of two years" as referred to under act June 7 th 1832? Yes! That you have admitted, by giving a full pension under act July 7 th 1838, to the widow. The question then arises whether under the 3 d Sec t of the act of July 4 th 1836?
Did Lieut W m White die, "leaving a widow whose marriage took place before the expiration of the last period of his service," and if that be so, upon what principal can the pension office withhold from the widow the amount she is entitled to under the act of July 4 th 1836, 3 d Section, and March 3 d 1837, Section 2 nd See the letter of Mr Wilson of the Land office dated February 16 th 1854, which is a part of the declaration of Mrs White.

As I said before, I do not at present desire to argue the case but to state the points as given, and I will conclude by using the language of Gov. John B Floyd, when he admitted additional land bounty in this case from the State of Virginia, to 3 rd November, 1833, as follows:
"This claim rests upon the clearest & most satisfactory proof both of fact and record. Land Bounty allowed for a service as Lieutenant in the Virginia State line from the 1 st May 1775, until the close of the war".
I think the evidence filed in the offices at Washington fully sustains this opinion of Gov. Floyd, and I believe that Mrs White has made a just claim under act July 4 th 1836, and that the Hon. Commission of Pensions, should allow the same; with this hope and belief, I have to request that this case will have immediate attention,

He served in State Va. with regular & continental troops during the entire war - His Capt. was W. Weynforth, Campbell He was engaged in the Battle of Yorktown 1781 - Married Catherine (Cady) Thomas while home in

Furrough June 28-1783 - Catherine his widow drew a pension for a number of years and died about 1860 at the great age of 98 years - I have it, her pension number is (4099) Widow Rev. War - L. & Catherine White had fifteen children, William Jr. my grandfathers father and Aunt Thomas White, my grand mothers mother - Thus making my grand parents first cousins

In 1897 my mother's cousin wrote to the Bureau of Pensions regarding Lt. William White's service - and was sent, by Mr. H. Clay Evans commissioner at the time, information to the effect that Cady, widow of William White, made an application for pen sion and on March - the twelfth 1855 - at which time she was 94 years of age (To be correct she was 93, for she was born June 9-1762) In the history we have, it gives the date of application for pen sion Jan 19-1839-

Dear Doctor.
On the score of old acquaintance I am going to ask a favor of you. It would be a great kindness to me, if not too much trouble to you, if you would look at the Pension Department and find the exact date, year month & day, when Caty White

(my grand mother) widow of Lieutenant W m White of Fauquier or Caroline
County Va., was granted a pension.
It is probable you will find it either in 1836 or 38. If not at that time, then in 1856.
The date of this pension is necessary in order for me to become a member of the D.A.R.'s and it will be a great favor if you can find it for me.
Yours sincerely

City of Richmond, to wit:
The affidavit of Peter Foster of the county of Hanover, taken at the Auditor's office on the seventh day of May 1831, The said affiant says that he was well acquainted with William White, deceased, late of the county of Hanover, and knows of his own knowledge, that the said William White, entered into the service of the Revolutionary war some time in the early part of the year 1777. (and he thinks about the month of February) as a Sergeant in Capt. Thomas Meriwether's company in the 1 st Virginia State Regiment, commanded by Col. George Gibson, - that in the year 1778, the said W m White was appointed an Ensign, and in the year 1779 he was promoted to the rank of Second Lieutenant, in the said Regiment, and continued therein, until the said Regiment was reduced, when he was placed upon the footing of a supernumerary officer: and this affiant further says, that he knows of his own knowledge, that the said White was in service at the siege of Lord Cornwallis, at Yorktown, Virginia, and there held command as a Lieutenant, that he does not know of the said White's being in actual service afterwards: this affiant also says, that he is himself a native of Hanover county Virginia, and continued to know and be acquainted with the said White, up to the time of his death, which he understood was about the year 1812. That as to the identity of the said White, this affiant says, that there was no other officer by the name of W m White belonging to the 1 st Virg a Regiment, but the person before spoken of, who lived and died in the county of Hanover that this affiant belonged to the same company with the said White and marched with him to the north in 1777. and continued in the service with him during the year 1778. and 1779, until the Reg t returned to Virginia. This affiant also says that he is well acquainted with the handwriting of the late W m . Campbell, who was his captain after Thomas Meriwether, and that he believes the certificate given by the said Campbell, in relation to the service and rank of the said

Wm White, and which he has seen and inspected, is in the hand writing of the said Campbell.
This affiant further states, being thereto questioned by the Auditor, that he believes and has no doubt that the claim against the state for half pay which it is intended to sustain by this affiant's testimony, - is presented by the representatives of the same Wm. White, whose services are above described.
