On this the 5 th day of January 1854, personally appeared Elizabeth Verner, in open Court, aged sixty five years, who being sworn according to law, doth on her oath make the following Declaration; That she is the widow of Daniel Verner alias Daniel Vaper the identical person who was Sergeant in the Virginia Continental line in the Revolutionary war, and who died on the 19 th day of November 1826, that her said husband belonged to the Regular Army and served for many years, that she is unable to recollect the name of the Captain who commanded the Company to which he was attached, or the officer attached to the Regiment in which he served, but she has no doubt that upon the records, filed in the War Department full proof of the services of her deceased husband will be found. She further states that she was married to the said Daniel Verner alias Vaper on the 15 th day of February 1803 that she was not married to him prior to the year 1800, but that the marriage took place at the time aforesaid & that she was married in the County of Nottoway and that her name before her marriage was Elizabeth Dyson as will appear by reference to the evidence hereto annexed.

In Nottoway County Court Jan'y 5 th 1854.
D r A. A. Campbell, being sworn, deponeth as follows:
I knew Daniel Verner well and have heard from him and his contemporaries that he was in the Revolutionary army; and I think he was Sergeant in Capt. Thomas Jones' Company. I have heard that he was at the battle of Brandywine, and have heard said Daniel Verner speak of being at the Battle of German Town, and at the Capture of Cornwallis. I have no doubt that Daniel Verner the deceased husband of Mrs. Elizabeth Verner who is now applying for a pension was in the Revolutionary War, and
Thomas W Dyson being duly sworn, deponed as follows: I knew

Daniel Verner husband of Mrs Elizabeth Verner, well and have understood from him, the said Daniel Verner and his contemporaries that he was in the Revolutionary Army & have often heard him and Mr Robert Verner tell of incidents which occurred during their service in the war. — The name of Mrs Elizabeth Verner before her marriage with said Daniel Verner was Elizabeth Dyson and she has never intermarried since his death,
True Copies, from the records of the said County Court & I certify, further that the said A. A. Campbell and Thomas W. Dyson, are well known to me and that they are credible witnesses. Given under my hand this the 21 st day of February 1854.

Sir, I warrant the claim of Mrs. Verna widow of Dan Verna or Vapa for a pension - The declaration is not strictly, but seems to be substantially formal. The claim is made with an authentic copy of the Soldiers discharge which I have obtained from the Executive Archives here. The papers were not prepared by me, & I have no interest in the claim. & as the party is very needy, trust that it may not be subjected necessarily to hold her to strict technical formalities.
Very respectfully,
Yours &c

Hon H. Van Arnam Com d of Pension Co Dear Sir -
We have the honor to submit a statement of facts, upon which to ask your opinion -
In 1860 Mrs. Elizabeth Vesser the widow of a Revolutionary War soldier, resident inottaway County Virginia, and ever on the pension list as a pensioner. She drew the last installment in 1860 & was then nearly 87 years old - She died in 1864. Her loyalty to the government from 1860 to the time of her death can be proven. From the commencement of the war to her death, she was inside the rebel lines, and in her old age complained her oppressors there - Question - Can her administration draw the unpaid pension from 1860 to 1864 - Your answer will oblige us -
We hope the honor to be Sir. Your ob dt . Serv ts Chandler Morton & Shields
