Declaration
In order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress of the 7 th July 1838. entitled, "an act, granting half pay pensions to certain widows" -
State of New Jersey, Morris County ss: On this 9 th day of January A D ominu 1839, personally appeared before the Court of Common Pleas of said County, Elizabeth Bradley, a resident of Morris Township, in said County, aged 71 years on the 5 th day of September, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth, on her oaths make the following Declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the act of Congress, passed July 7 th 1838. entitled "An act, granting half pay pensions to certain widows." - I am the widow of William Bradley, who was, as I believe, a private soldier in the Continental army of the United States, served as such, throughout the war of the revolution. The regiment & company to which he belonged, I cannot name at present, with any certainty, nor have I any very distinct recollection of his services, except that I have often heard him speak of being with the army under Genl. Washington at the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at the siege of Yorktown, & at the battle of Springfield. He was pensioned for his Revolutionary services & received his pension under the law of 1818 as I believe until his death. And I would respectfully refer the Commissioners of Pensions to his original Declaration now on the files of the Pension Office, for the particular details of his duties in the Army of the United States - I further declare, that I was married to the said William Bradley on the 24 th day of July, in the year of our Lord 1783, at Springfield, Essex County, New Jersey, at the house of Abraham Egbert, by the Rev. Mr. Van Arsdale or Van Arsdalen, in the presence of Catharine Mills, whose name then was Catharine Egbert, daughter of said Abraham Egbert, & who is, as I believe, the only person then present, who is now living - I understand there is no record of marriages which were solemnized by Rev. Mr. Van Arsdale, at that period. I have a family record containing the date of our marriage, and ages of our children, which is hereto annexed - My husband, the aforesaid William Bradley, was a man who had had very little schooling & was never taught to write. He never wrote his name, but always made his mark, & those, who wrote it for him, generally wrote it " Radley ", & not Bradley . I am not sure that my husband knew in what manner the name was originally written - whether with or without the W . The neighbors when he lived, were in the habit of writing it " Radley " & the old school marks. Said Rodgers, who at my

husband's request many years since, made the family record herewith sent, wrote the name as the neighbours did - " Radley ". I am informed, that when my husband enlisted in the Continental Army, the officer who enlisted him, entered his name on the rolls, " Bradley "; that it was so continued throughout his service during the war. His pension certificate was issued in the name of " William Bradley " & I believe that his power of attorney was always given & acknowledged in the name of " William Bradley ". I am the widow of the same William Bradley to whom said certificate was granted, altho' in the family record, the family name is written " Radley "; without the B . & my children all write their name " Radley "; without the B . - I was the foster-mother, or nurse, of three children, whose names are entered upon said record, as being my own, when in fact in truth they were the children of other parents - Having nursed them in infancy, they were near to me & to my husband by affection, & called me Mother . They are thus noted on the said record, viz: "9. Sarah Day, - 13. Elias Thompson, 16. James Hampton". The others, 13 in number, were our own children, 8 of whom, I believe, are still living - My Christian name, or my first name is " Elizabeth " the person who was engaged by my husband to make the family record, has therein written my name " Betsy " which I believe is the common nick name , or shortened name, given by most people to the name of Elizabeth - I am the person therein designated as " Betsy Minton ".
My husband, the aforesaid William Bradley , died at his own residence in Morris County, Chatham Township, on the 12 th day of October, 1822, & I have remained his widow to the present period, as will appear by testimony hereto annexed. I was not married to him prior to his leaving the service, but the marriage took place previous to the first of January, Seventeen hundred and ninety four  seven , viz: at the time before stated. - Before my marriage my name was Elizabeth Minterne .
I sworn & subscribed at the Court House in Morristown, January 9 th 1839. Before me. The word " seven " in the 3 rd line above was erased, and " four " inserted before signing & swearing -

Filed with Judge of the Court of Common Pleas

State of New Jersey Morris County
Before the subscriber as Justice in & for the County aforesaid, personally appeared Abraham
Britten Esq. of said County, personally well known to me, as a man of truth, & of great respectability of character, who being first duly sworn according to law, on his oath saith as follows, viz: — I am 57 years of age, have resided in Morris County during the last 43 years. I was personally well acquainted with William Weadly many years before his death, & with his wife & family of children. They lived in the same neighbourhood with me & I have been in the habit of seeing them sometimes daily, & at other times frequently in the course of each week. William Weadly, was re- -pected & believed by his neighbours to be a Revolutionary soldier of the American Army, & when the Pension Law of the U. States of 1818, was published said Weadly applied to me to aid him in obtaining for him the benefit thereof, which I did, having his papers prepared, & forwarded to the Pension Office. He was a man without schooling, & did not write his name, but always made his mark. I do not think that he knew how to spell his own name, which was generally written by myself & all his neighbours without the W. thus "William Radly ". And I believe his name was so written ("Radly") in the Declaration sent to the Pension Office, & so subscribed. I believe it was suspended at the Pension Office because the name of William " Radly " could not be found upon the rolls. Upon some further testimony, his claim was admitted, & he recd. a pension Certificate, in the name of William " Weadly ". This pension I believe was regularly paid to him by the U. States to the time of his death, in or about the year 1822. His power of Attorney, which generally was given to me or to Wm Britten my brother for receiving his pension, was signed & acknowledged by "William Weadly ". And I do hereby further state, that Elizabeth Weadly who now applies for a pension under the Act of Congress of 7th July 1838, in consideration of the services of her husband, is the widow of the same William Weadly before mentioned, & that she has never married since the death of the said William Weadly, who died in Morris County as before stated, in the year 1822, as I verily believe. The attesting of the word or to Wm Britten my brother, was done before signing & swearing. Sworn & subscribed at Morris town, this 14th. January 1839.

Before the subscriber, a Judge & Justice of peace in & for the County of Morris aforesaid, personally appeared Elizabeth Woolley, believed by me to be a woman of truth & fair character, who being by me, duly sworn according to law, on oath deposes as follows, viz:
I am 50 years of age, on the 11 th October last, am the wife of John Woolley, & the daughter of William Radly, dec d . & of Elizabeth a Betsy Radly. My father was a pensioner of the United States, & his name in his pension certificate was written "William Wradly". I can well recollect when the family record, which is now in the possession of my Mother Elizabeth Radly, was made. It was done at the request of my father William Wradly or Radly, by David Rogers, who was an old acquaintance of my father in the war of the revolution; he the said Rogers had been a Musician in the Army, wrote a very plain, printing sort of hand, & was in the habit of making & copying family records for the neighborhood. And when I was in my 30 th year about 20 or 21 years ago, my father then employed said Rogers to make out this family record, which Rogers copied from an old bible record, which had then become very much defaced & worn, so as to be scarcely legible. It was defaced & ragged, & dirty, & the bible worn out with use, the leaves loon, & many of them missing & gone, & as I only believe is not now in being at all. This record which my mother now has, & which is attached by copy to her Declaration, containing the time of her marriage, & the ages of her 13 children & also of 3 Nurse children, is, to my personal knowledge, the same family record, which my said father William Wradly, or Radly, caused to be made as aforesaid, & it has been in possession of my Mother, since the death of my father to the present time, as I only believe.

Before the subscriber, a justice of peace in & for the County of Morris personally appeared Mrs. Catherine Mills of Morris town, aged 68 in March last, who being duly sworn according to law, saith as follows viz. I am in the 69th year of my age since 17th March 1838 - Am well acquainted with Elizabeth Wreadly, widow of William Wreadly decd. & now an applicant for a pension. William Wreadly, her husband was my own cousin, & he lived in Morris County, at Botten hill, & soon after his service in the war of the revolution expired, he brought with him, Elizabeth Minterun, the present widow Wreadly, to my father's house, whose name was Abraham Egbert, in Springfield, to whom he was then married, in my presence & in the presence of my father & mother, by Reverend Jacob Van Arsdal, then Minister of the gospel in Springfield. It was in the hot season of the year, & I firmly believe it was on the 24th July, in the year of our Lord four hundred & eighty three. My parents, & all who were then present at the marriage, are dead as I believe, except myself & the said Elizabeth Wreadly, then Elizabeth Minterun. William Wreadly died about 15 or 16 years since in Chatham Township, & said Elizabeth Wreadly remains his widow to the present time.
