That said Robert Walker died on the ninth day of July 1833, that said Betsey Walker died on the first day of December 1849, leaving this deponent, who is the only surviving child of said Robert and Betsey Walker deceased. Now the object of this declaration is to assert a claim to an increase of Pension which this deponent has been informed and believes was due to said Betsey Walker at the time of her death, and also to obtain whatever was due to said Robert Walker under the act of 1832 at the time of his death. Said Robert Walker having been an express rider and private during the revolution as this deponent's Attorney is fully prepared to show.

Therefore he will not pay the Pension notwithstanding her funeral expenses and sickness.
Now Sir if it be agreeable to the Laws of the W.S.T. I Pray you in behalf of those who are distressed in consequence of her illness and funeral expenses to send the amount due her on this paper which ought to have been paid by Mr Potter before her death.

Enclosed I send you the papers in case of Betsey Hulker-widow of Robert Hulker for her and his pension under the act of July 7 1838. I find the same difficulty in this that I do in all most all of widow claim. She cannot give the Officer's name or the dates of her husband's services. If you can find a statement made by him in 1832 in your office you will be likely to get the truth of his services. The first before his claim was allowed.
