Declaration,
In order to obtain the benefit of the third Section of the act of Congress passed the 4 th day of July 1836. -
State of South Carolina } Halifax County }
On this 3 rd of October 1843 personally appeared before the subscriber one of the Justices of the Peace in and for said County, Mrs Sarah Wade, widow of said County aged 89 years, who being first duly sworn according to law doth upon her oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the act of Congress passed the 4 th of July 1836, - That she is the widow of Daniel Wade, who was a soldier of the Revolutionary War - that her husband the aforesaid Daniel Wade enlisted in the Army in the Revolutionary War in the month of March or April 1777 in Capt Williams' Company - that about twelve months or thereabouts, he returned home for a short time on leave, and remained a few months, (the precise length of time she is unable now to remember)

to see his family, our child Fanny being very young but little more than a month old, when he left home to join the Army, after remaining at home as above stated, and making such provision for us as he was able, he returned to the Army to serve out his time of enlistment, and was returned home again - that she occasionally could hear from him, until some time in the latter part of the next year, when she heard that he either died, or was killed at the South in an expedition against the Indians, of this fact - she can only speak from report, and what was communicated to her by those who went into the Army with him - She further declares she was legally married to her husband the afore- said Daniel Wade in the County of Northampton State of North Carolina by Harbald Haynes Esq a Justice of the Peace, in the month of March 1776; and that her maiden name was Sarah Mills - that she well recollects her marriage took place in the first year of the Revolutionary War, at the time above stated; that her oldest child

Nancy Mills who is now dead, the wife of Francis Mills, was born in the year 1774, a very short time before her husband left home to join the Army. That if now living she would be 66 years old March last past; - she has no record of birth though, nor has she any register of their marriage - But the time when it happened she believes can be fully substantiated by her sister who was present and who has lived near to her ever since; who is Winifred Holley - That they removed from Northampton County into Halifax County about sixty years ago, where they have resided together ever since. That she has never intermarried, since the time her husband died or was killed but has remained a widow ever since as will more fully appear by reference to the proof herunto appended. -

Sir
Sarah Wade widow of Daniel du o of St. Gallen in her declaration, that her her husband enlisted in the N o Carolina and died, a war pension in the Service. That he enlisted in the year 1776. Subsequently she obtained from the Secy of State his certificate showing that Daniel Wade enlisted in March  Feb 1777. @ that his name was "omitted" in Feb.  March 1778; corresponding as nearly as could be expected with the widow's declaration.
All other points have long since been adjusted, leaving only this, the length of her Service.
To prevent any further delay, I will thank you to allow her such a length of Service as may be deemed proper. Certainly nearly one year & clearly pension, @ that is doubtless all that she can now claim from the rolls.
Faithfully H. A. Syngston
