Sir,
The testimony of John M c Hatten, unsupported by any record evidence whatever, is not satisfactory to shew the date of the marriage of Christopher and Prudence Windsor. If, however, it be shown by the production of the certificate of the clerk of Fairfax County Court, that the records, in his possession, afford no evidence of this marriage - and the character for truth and veracity of John M c Hatten, and that his mind has not become impaired by age or any other cause, and that, he has no interest in the case, be certified to by a member of Congress, or some other person of known respectability, this claim may be admitted under the act of 4 th July 1836. Where the date of an event so long transpired is to be established by the testimony of a single witness, that witness should be shown to be credible by persons well known to this Department, as men in whose confidence can be placed.
It should be shown that Mrs. Windsor is still

living - and her certificate, under the act of 3 rd March 1843, and of 17 th June 1844, should be returned.
I am Sir, respectfully, your obt. servt J. L. Edwards

Prudence Windson of Christopher Kentucky.

Rev. and 1812 Wars Section EKL
June 5, 1930
Honorable Ewin L. Davis House of Representatives Washington, D.C.
My dear Mr. Davis:
In response to your letter of May 31, 1930, I have the honor to advise you that this bureau is unable to furnish the history of a soldier of the Revolutionary War unless a claim for pension or bounty land has been made to the United States on account of his services.
A careful search of the records fails to show such a claim on file on account of the services of John Windsor, of any Southern State, or of Anderson or Alexander Windsor.
From the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W.9025, it appears that Christopher Windsor married May 15, 1773, in Fairfax County, Virginia, Prudence, her maiden name not given. or Lincoln
He died October 19, 1804 or October 18, 1805, in Campbell County, Kentucky. The date and place of his birth are not given.
His widow, Prudence, was allowed pension on her application executed April 20, 1839, at which time she was aged eighty-seven years and resided in Boone County, Kentucky. At the time of her application, she stated that her husband, Christopher Windsor, served during the Revolutionary War in the Virginia Line, officers names not given. Her pension was allowed for his service of two years.
In 1843, she stated that she was blind and was ninety-nine years of age, no explanation made of this discrepancy in age.

Before the close of the Revolution, she moved from Virginia to Kentucky, being in the first party of white persons to land at the Falls of the Ohio. Her husband joined her there after his discharge from the army. They moved from the Falls to a place where Danville, Kentucky, was later located, and thence to Boone County, Kentucky, near Big Bone Lick.
Children:
Their eldest son, Thomas, was born in March, 1775; a second child, name not given, died in infancy; the third child, Mary, was born January 1, 1781; she married William Angleton and in 1843, was residing in Boone County, Kentucky; other children named were Nancy, Betsy, Jane, James and Sarah, dates of birth not given, and William, the youngest, who was born in May, 1795.
Date of William's death not given on AB
Very truly yours
E. W. MORGAN Acting Commissioner.
She stated that her first child was born in 1774, and her second died in infancy, and her third was Mary, born Jan. 1, 1781. Later she stated that her oldest son was born in 1775, his name Thomas, and he was ten months old when his father enlisted and that her next child was born after her husband was home on furlough and it died and again that Mary was the third child. Feeling certain that Thomas was really the first child and that she simply got the date wrong, (1774 for 1775) I did not use "first child born in 1774".

Sir,
In the case of Prudence Windsor widow of Christopher Windsor, dec d . evidence of his being entitled to lands for three years service will be found in the printed list of the Illinois reg t . The certificate from the auditor of Virginia has the name spelled Winston which of course is an error. Efforts will be made to get proof of marriage, if not to shew that she was married before her husband left the service, at least to entitle her to a pension under act 7 July 1838.

I got acquainted with Prudence Winsor widow of Christopher Winsor of Boon County say the in the year 1805 or 6 old woman. Her she is now a very old woman. Her husband who died about the commencement of my knowledge of this woman was reported to be a revolutionary soldier of which I had no doubt from the age of the parties I believe of those who spoke of this County personal knowledge. Boon is in my old congressional district which I can not find in 1805-6

The record proof of service in the case of Prudence Windsor widow of Christopher Windsor dec d has been examined and filed with her other papers. It shews a payment made for the service of Christopher Windsor in the Virginia line. Some statement should be made as to her husband having been known by that name. It should also be set forth in the claimants declaration under what Captain and Colonel her husband served. Proof of her having been a married woman before the termination of her husband's service should also be exhibited. If there be a record of the ages of the ages of her children or any one of them it should be transmitted to this Office.

Sir,
Enclosed is additional evidence to establish the marriage of Mrs. Ponderer Wilson, of Kentucky, to have taken place at a period previous to the termination of her husband, service. The witness is a man of respectability and testifies that in the spring of 1781, his father's family removed to Kentucky, at which time he was six years of age, and that the claimants oldest child was one year older than himself, &c. The testimony exhibited is such as is frequently required by the Dept. and with that on file, I confidently trust will be deemed sufficient to authorize the admission of the claim under act 4 July, 1836.

In former examinations of the claim of Mrs. Prudence Windsor widow of Christopher Windsor no objection was made to her identity, but merely to the name on the list of depreciation payments being spelled Winston. It is stated that he obtained land from Virginia and his name is found as Christopher Windsor on the list of those who obtained land for service in one of the State Regiments. There is great difficulty in obtaining a copy of the order upon which land was obtained from the executive Department at Richmond, and if it could be obtained, it is not probable that it would contain any evidence of identity. The Christian and surname are not common, and under all the circumstances of the case, I would respectfully request that a pension be allowed.
I am respectfully Your Obt. Servt. J. S. Edwards Esq. Commr. of Pensions

Sir,
In answer to your letter of 29 th of January last in the case of Prudence Windsor, I have to inform you that the name of Christopher Windsor, is found on the printed list of the Illinois Regiment as entitled to land for three years service. But there is no proof whatever identifying claimant as the widow of that soldier. If her husband was the soldier named, evidence to establish that fact, may possibly be found at Richmond, filed with the vouchers, on which the claims for bounty, lands due from Virginia were settled.
I am Very Respectfully, Your obedt. Servt. J. L. Edwards

Dear Mr. Commissioner:

In reply to your letter of the 19 th instant, you are advised that in the Revolutionary War pension claim of Christopher and Prudence Windor it is not stated that their son William who was born in 1795 was a soldier and from the data given in that claim this Bureau has been unable to ascertain whether said William ever made application for pension on account of service in any war.

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Christopher Windsor and of a soldier with surname Hamill of New York, also, record of Thomas Alexander who served, perhaps, from New York State in the Revolutionary War or War of 1812 and married in Virginia.
There is no claim for pension on file based upon service in the Revolutionary War or War of 1812 of a Thomas Alexander which seems to be that of the Thomas Alexander in whom you are interested. The record has been found of Christopher Windsor, of Fairfax County, Virginia, and of one Revolutionary War soldier only, of New York State, with the surname Hamill; it is the record of William Hamill. Those two records are furnished you herewith as found in the claims for pension based upon their service in the Revolutionary War.
Very truly yours

CHRISTOPHER WINDSOR W. 9025 BA-J/MCHF:MLB Am
Mrs. Robert Le Roy Byrd Manassas Virginia
Dear Madam:
You are furnished herein the record of Christopher Windsor, as obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, W. 9025, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
Christopher Windsor married in April, or May 15, 1773, in Fairfax County, Virginia, Prudence; her maiden name is not given. They were married by Parson Dade.
Christopher Windsor, while a resident of Fairfax County, Virginia, enlisted very early in the Revolutionary War and served at least five years. It is shown that his name was borne on a list of Revolutionary War soldiers of the Illinois Regiment of Virginia troops who received land from the State of Virginia. The names of his officers are not stated. He was in several battles.
During the absence of Christopher Windsor in the Revolutionary War, his wife, Prudence, was informed that he had been killed in service. She then moved from Virginia to the Falls of the Ohio with her relatives (no names given), being in the first company of white persons to land where the City of Louisville, Kentucky, was later located. Her husband, Christopher Windsor, joined her there, however, after his discharge at the close of the Revolutionary War, and served from there on frequent tours against the Indians. They moved from the Falls of the Ohio to the place where Danville, Kentucky, was later located, thence to Boone County, Kentucky, near Big Bone Lick.
Christopher Windsor died October 19, 1804, or October 18, 1805, in Campbell County, Kentucky.

Prudence Windsor was allowed pension for service of her husband, Christopher Windsor, in the Revolutionary War, on her application executed April 20, 1839, at which time she was a resident of Boone County, Kentucky, and stated that she was aged eighty-seven years. In 1843, however, she gave her age as ninety-nine years; she was still a resident of Boone County, Kentucky, and had been blind ten years.
Thomas Windsor, eldest son of Christopher and Prudence Windsor, was born in March, 1775; their second child, a girl, died in infancy, name not given; their third child, Mary Windsor, was born January 1, 1781. She married William Angleton. In 1843, William and Mary Angleton were residents of Boone County, Kentucky, and he was aged sixty-eight years. They were members of the Baptist Church. The names of other children of Christopher and Prudence Windsor were Nancy, Betsy, James, Jane, Sarah and William, the youngest, who was born in May, 1795. Dates of birth of the others not given. Prudence Windsor stated that her husband's discharge certificate and her family Bible were destroyed by fire when their home in Campbell County, Kentucky, was burned in 1796.
Ransom Allphin and Joseph Horton were neighbors of Prudence Windsor in 1839 in Boone County, Kentucky, and made affidavits in support of her claim for pension. They stated that she was a woman of truth and piety and that Christopher Windsor was a soldier of the Revolutionary War. In 1845, John Mason, of Boone County, Kentucky, aged seventy-five years, stated that he had been intimately acquainted with Christopher Windsor and family in 1783 and remembered when they moved to Boone County, Kentucky, and settled near the "Big Bone Lick", because his (Mason's) father and Christopher Windsor swapped horses and said John went to the Windsor home to get the horse. In 1845, John McHatton, aged seventy years, a resident of Boone County, Kentucky, stated that he moved with his father, John McHatton, to Kentucky, in 1781, and settled at Archer's Station, Scott County, and remembered when Christopher and Prudence Windsor moved to Kentucky and settled near them; that he had been intimately acquainted with their son, Thomas Windsor, and had known Mary, who married William Angleton, all her life. Said John was brother of General Robert McHatton, former member of Congress.
For information in regard to the date of last payment of pension of Prudence Windsor, name of person paid and possibly the

date of her death, you should apply to the Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following: Prudence Windsor, widow of Christopher Windsor, Certificate #9733, issued November 22, 1845, rate $80 per annum, commenced March 4, 1836, Act July 7, 1836; also, Certificate No. 4356, issued May 5, 1846, rate $80 per annum, commenced March 4, 1831, Act July 4, 1836, both Kentucky Agency.
