On this the Eighth day of October A.D. 1852 personally appeared before me James Pugh a Justice of the peace in and for Wendricks County State of Indiana Elizabeth Sarey a resident of Indiana in the County of Wendricks aged Seventy years seven months and seven days who being first duly sworn according to Law states and her oath makes the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the Act of Congress passed July 7 th A.D. 1832 entitled "An Act Granting half pay and Pensions to certain Widows." That she is the widow of Isaac Sarey who was a private in the 1 st Virginia Regiment That she has often heard him say that he served in Captain Hooper's Company & that the Regiment was commanded by Col. Woodford. She further states that she has heard him say that he enlisted as a regular soldier in the County of Caroline State of Virginia about the year A.D. 1777 for two years. That he from thence marched Northward and before the expiration of his enlistment he was taken sick and in the fall of the year preceding the expiration of the time of his enlistment he returned home in the care of his Brother James Sarey on parole. That he was unable to walk from the time of his return till the next spring & before he was able to render any service the time of his enlistment expired. She further declares that she was married to the said Isaac Sarey on the 21 st of December in the year 1780 in the County of Caroline State of Virginia and that he died in Franklin County State of Kentucky in the year 1807. That she was not married to him previous to his leaving the service but the marriage took place previous to the first day of January 1781, to wit: at the time above stated as she knows from her own recollection and also as appears from the original

Family Record of their marriage which is now in her possession and reads thus: Elizabeth George born March 1 st 1761 married to Isaac Sarey December 26 th 1780,,
She would further state that she knows of no person by whom she can prove her marriage except James Sarey and Virgil Poe both of Franklin County Kentucky.
She therefore hopes that the department will allow her claim, that a small pension would, be of great use to her in her old age, she would further state that she is very infirm and consequently is unable to attend in open court to make her declaration
that she lives five miles from the court house in her county

Christiansburg Shelby County Ky, May 30. 1839. Sir.
I received your letter of the 8 th of April in time, & have endeavoured to comply with the requirements of it, which I think I have done as nearly as may be, except in the certificate of Mary Savy she could not say who wrote the record, which of course she could not do as she is the daughter-in-law of Isaac Savy the husband of the applicant & her own husband as you will see is dead. But if there must be proof on this point perhaps the applicant could say who it was, & if she cannot, then I do not suppose it can be proved by any living. Enclosed you have a private letter from the Magistrate who qualified her & in that (the 5 th line from the top) you see he had a conversation with her on the subject, but omitted saying any thing about it in his certificate. Examine the papers and answer me at Christiansburg. If you send a certificate make it payable in Indiana, at Indianapolis if convenient, if this cannot be, then at Madison.
I am very Respectfully your Ob d Servant
Henry Bohannon.

Br Henry I never received your letter until Saturday last and I went on Sunday to see Mrs Sarey and she was not at home and I went again on Monday and found her at home I qualified her and she stated to what you see in the certificate. She never heard her husband. I say how wrote the old record as she can recollect. I then went on to Warsaw and don't what I had to do hard and send the papers on the mail boat but she past before I could get ready I then come on home and will send them to day as respects our family we are all in common health. Samuels family is in tolerable health his wife is grunting a little probable in the family way. Polly Wood was here this morning and she says her family is well. Shop Bob and Harpers families is both well. Bill Wood does not do any better than what he yours to do nothing an common has taken place in the neighbourhood lately. James Sarey widow wishes to know where her mother in law is you can write to me and I will let her know I wish you to write often & crops looks fine in this country. Betsy keeps talking about the 20 th of Oct r next and I know nothing to prevent her from coming up according to promise nothing more at present but remain your friend and relative.

Sir:
I file a power of attorney in the case of Elizabeth Pacey, Ky, A.D., 2 Feb. May, 1848, and ask an increase to $100 per ann.
It is clearly proved that her husband enlisted for 2 years, was taken sick and furloughed before the expiration of his time, but was never discharged. The time he was detained at home by sickness was as much a part of his service as while he was in camp, and upon what principle he was required 2 years I can not perceive.
Very Resp'y &
