That the said Mary was married to the said Christian on the 23 rd day of December 1781. That after their marriage he did some service. That the said Christian died on the 10 th day of January 1836. That she is his widow now.
You will please give your early attention to this claim and let me know the result. If you should decide (as I have no doubt you will) that she is entitled to a pension under the laws of the United States. You will please mail to me at Westchester N.Y. the pay certificate. she requested me so to direct you.
