Declaration of Hannah Green
In order to obtain the benefits of the provisions of the act of Congress of the 7 th of July 1838 and 23 d of August 1842
State of Virginia } Halifax County } ss
On this the 5 th day of October 1847 personally appeared before me William Thaxton a Justice of the peace for said county - by Hannah Green aged 81, eighty one years who being first duly sworn according to law doth on her oath make the following declaration In order to obtain the benefits of the provisions made by the acts of Congress passed July the 7 th 1838 and 23 d of Aug 1842 granting pensions to widows of persons who served in the revolutionary war
That she is the widow of Thomas Ashlock who was a private soldier in said war that he enlisted in the county of Machlenburg Virginia in 1779. She thinks, for twelve months and was attached to the Virginia State line, she thinks, and was marched to the north she is unable to recollect the names of the company or regimental officers, as it has been a long time since the death of her husband and since she has heard him speak of him in the army

She states he was honorably discharged after the expiration of his term of enlistment, which discharge was burned when my house and all of my papers and furniture, was burnt. She has frequently heard her husband say he was drafted and scanned two times after he came out of the regular army. She knows of no person known living who was in the army with him by whom she can prove his services. She thinks however if the rolls of the Virginia State line is carefully examined his name will be found as well as full proof of his service. She further declares she was married to the said Thomas Whetlow in January Seventeen hundred and eighty four (1884) and that her husband died in Seventeen hundred and ninety seven and that she was not married to him previous to his getting the services but the marriage took place previous to the 15 th day of January 1894 (as, at the time above stated). She further declares she intermarried about three years after the death of her husband Thomas Whetlow with William Irben who died in 1883 and she has remained a widow ever since that period.

Stated by Hamner Irwin in his declaration to obtain a Pension, I knew them as man and wife for 8 or 10 years before the death of his for- -mer work Glendevill, who died in this county I think in 1824 or 5, - and by his last will he recognized Hamner Whittlow (now Irwin) as the lawfull wife of Thomas Whittlow I further certify Hannah Whittlow the identical person whom I knew as the wife of Thomas Whittlow, intermarried in a few years after the death of Whittlow, with one William Irwin who died in 1833, as well as I now recall and his widow has remained never inter- married since his death given under my hand this the 22 day of October 1847

Declaration
In order to obtain the benefits of the act of Congress of the 2 d of February 1848 entitled, An act-making further provisions for surviving widows and soldiers of the Revolution
State of Virginia } County of Halifax }
On this 29 th day of April 1850 before me Wm Sydney a Justice of the peace in and for said county personally appeared Hanna Ineen a resident of Virginia in the county of Halifax aged eighty five years who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on her oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefits of the provisions made by the act of Congress passed on the 2 d February 1848 granting pensions to widows of persons who served during the Revolutionary war, That she is the widow of Thomas Whittlow, who was a private soldier, in the Virginia State line she states she is the entitled person who applied for a pension under the act of Congress of the 7 th July 1838, and the supplemental acts thereto as the widow of the above mentioned Thomas Whittlow, at the time she filed her former declaration Iron

She was of the opinion her husband served but one year as a regular soldier in this manner She may be mistaken, as her husband had been dead for a long time, and consequently it had been a long period since she heard him talk of his services, in the war of the rebellion. She knows he was there for a longer period than one year but was of the opinion he belonged to the Mobile she would be belonged to the Virginia State line to which she would refer the Hon Department for proof of the period her husband, the said Thos Whallaw, was in actual service
