Dear Sir by our last mail I recd an answer to the Testimony I sent You in the case of Mrs Ann M c Bullock Deceased Widow of Robt M c Bullock Which answer declares that the evidence now before the Department is not sufficient to allow the claim under act 4 July 1836 in answer I can only say that I as agent for the children in this case am not willing to abide by the decision untill You give it another examination because I think if You will examine the case Yourself You will have no hesitation in allowing the claim because the Proof as I think does clearly show that they Robt & Ann M c Bullock had Children Born & some five or six Years prior to 1780 If You will but examine the affidavit of Robt Mendenhall Who is a disinterested Witness and an intelligent old gentleman You will see that he avers that he was born as appears from the record

in 1779 and that their oldest child James McCallloch was some 2 or 3 Years older than he Robert M c Callloch Mr. Robt s mother disinterested Mother was that he was born in 1781 that three of some McCallloch children were older than him. Therefore I hope You will take up the case & give it another examination Yourself & write me and answer to this my request

You will see that his fourth child died in March 1841 and was at the time of her death Sixty Years old. Had it not been the first child it would have thrown the Marriage back to 1780 which was before he left the Service, but I have proof by Mr. Massey that she was the fourth child which would of course throw the Marriage back at least to 1777 Hoping therefore that the proof is Satisfactory

enclosed I send You the affidavit of A.D. box. Which I hope will satisfy You that Robert & Anne McCallough were married some time before he entered the services of the Fencible Corps the affidavit states that their fourth child, Elizabeth died on the 12 th day of March 1841 & that her Tomb or head stone states that she was 60 Years old at the time of her death. That of course will show that they were married before 1781 even if she was the first child & it appears that she was the fourth child this affidavit I think ought to satisfy You that they were married before the Year 1781. Compare this affidavit with the others & the circumstances and I have no doubt but You will be satisfied with the proof & find me a certificate. The affidavit is to be used in the case of Anne McCallough Deaf, claiming pension act 4 July 1836

Hillsborough Oct. 14 th 1846
I recd your letter of the 30 ult. asking me to search the clerks office of this county for a record of the marriage of Robert McCulloch to his wife Ann and if found to send you a certified copy of the same. But if the record in said office does not show such marriage to certify the same.
I have made diligent search & can find no such record in this office. But as this office has been so badly kept for the last forty five years it is probable that the marriage bond (the only record ever kept in this office) may have been misplaced so that it cannot be found (or it may be destroyed) Indeed there are no bonds to be found going farther back than 1781— With this explanation I proceed to give the following
Certificate
North Carolina
I Joseph Allison Clerk of the court of Pleas & quarter Sessions for the County of Orange do certify that I have made diligent search in my office & can find no "record of the of the marriage of Robert McCulloch to his wife Ann."
