Be it known, That before me L. S. Harper a Justice of the Peace for the County and State aforesaid, personally appeared Jane M. Anderson, of said County, and made oath in due form of law, that she is the daughter of Lucy Marks, the identical person who was a pensioner, and who is now dead, and to whom a certificate of pension was issued, under the act of Congress of the 4 th July, 1836, for a pension of $4.80 per annum, for the services of her husband, John Marks, as a Cap- tain in the Virginia Continental line in the army of the revolution — That the deceased pensioner resided in the County of Albemarle, State of Virginia, for the space of about fifty years years before her death, and that previous thereto she resided in the State of Georgia — That the said Lucy Marks died in the County of Albemarle, on the 8 th day of September 1837, leaving the following named children, alive at the time of her death. Reuben Lewis, of Albemarle, this affiant Jane M. Anderson, of Albemarle, and Mary G. Moore, wife of William Moore, of Alabama, — That Reuben Lewis, aforesaid, died on the 17 th day of February, 1844, in Albemarle County, leaving a widow but no child, — That Mildred, his aforesaid widow, has qualified as his Executrix, and is now such. — That the said Lucy Marks' executors subsequently to her death, applied for and received the balance of pension supposed to be due her, on account of the revolutionary services of the said John Marks, as will no doubt appear by the vouchers filed in the pension office. The said Jane M. Anderson fur- ther states, that she has been informed, the said John Marks was clothier and Paymaster for three years, while he was Captain as aforesaid, and that in the allowance of the pension of $4.80, to the said Lucy Marks, under the act of Congress of the 4 th July, 1836, no estimate was made of the services of the said John Marks as clothier and Paymaster, which this affiant is informed should have been taken into consideration, if the fact had been shown to the Department. She refers to the public records, and particu- larly to those of the State of Virginia, for proof of the above service — This application is now made for the balance of pens.

Mr J. L. Edwards
Yr, it appears from the papers of Mrs Lucy Marks late of this County that she is entitled to a pension as the widow of Capt John Marks, deceased. Application has been made at Rich- -mond to the President of the Board of Pensions Agent for paying Pensions but declined payment until he could receive information from you. The claim exists under the 13 rd section of the law of the United States of the 4 th of July 1836, and recorded in the Pension Office, in Book A Vol 1 page 191. The difficulty with the agent for paying Pensioners is, that he does not know whether the case comes under the regulation requiring pay- ment to be made to the heirs at law, and not to the executors, you will please give me the necessary infor- mation at an early day as possible as I am anxious that the estate should be settled up
