34 So every man praised toward the heaven the glorious Lord, saying, Blessed be he that hath kept his own place undefiled.
35 He hanged also Nicanor's head upon the tower, an evident and manifest sign unto all of the help of the Lord.
36 And they ordained all with a common decree, in no case to let that day pass without solemnity, but to celebrate the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which in the Syrian tongue is called Adar, the day before Mardocheus' day.
37 Thus went it with Nicanor: and from that time forth the Hebrews had the city in their power. And here I will make an end.
38 And if I have done well, and as is fitting the story, it is that which I desired; but, if slenderly and meanly, it is that which I could attain unto.
39 For as it is hurtful to drink wine or water alone, and as wine mingled with water is pleasant, and delighteth the taste; even so, speech finely framed delighteth the ears of them that read the story. And here shall be an end.

Butchville Granville Co. North Carolina
January 1 st  the day 1845.
Dear Sir - Yours of 23 Nov. last in relation to the papers of Judith Jackson, claiming a pension, came duly to hand. I discover from your letter, that you are mistaken in the act under which she claims. you say as follows, The additional evidence in the case of Judith Jackson, widow of Samuel Jackson claiming a pension under the act of July the 4 - 1834, has been exam- ined & filed. the declaration and papers thereto attached are herewith enclosed. That the proceedings before the single magistrate, may in accordance with the Regulations of this Department, be submitted to and approved under seal by a Court, Second adjutant & acting as such further evidence should be offered to establish the identity of the claimants husband as the person in the certificate of the Comptroller of North Carolina -
By examining the declaration you will discover that she claims under the act of July the 4 - 1836 and she being in consequence of old age, unable to appear in court to make the declaration. I thought according to the Regulations of the Department, it could be taken before a single magistrate and of course if however, it is necessary, that she should appear in court.

Yr-leave to turn me the papers as soon as possible, so that I can get them by the first day of February next. The first Sunday is over soon. Though I do not think it hardly possible that she can be got to court. I suppose the evidence to establish the marriage is sufficient. — you say for the evidence should be offered to prove the identity of the claimants husband, as the person named, in the certificate of the Comptroller. This will be impossible to prove by any person now living. Peter Keath is the only soldier now living. That I knew him, whose affidavit I have taken, who says that he never knew any person of that name, except Samuel Jackson of Granville. To him we have no reference in a former affidavit. It was offered to me, that the evidence offered might be sufficient to satisfy the department, that the claim is just. Mrs Jackson states, that her husband served, entered the service to the best of her recollection in the year 1780 & in the years 1780-81 served four different terms of three months each. Now as the evidence accord with her declaration, first the advancement of the horse, in Feb. 1781 & the loss of Capt. Yancy, in Sept. 1781 goes to show, that he was in the service in the commencing of the year, & near the latter part. Mrs. Jackson states, that she does not recollect the name of the officers under which her husband served.

But, think one town was under Capt. Henderson. Peter Cook, sayeth that he served a term of three months with said Jackson under Capt. Henderson. The evidence of Badgely & Briggs seems to show what was the general opinion as regards said Jackson being a soldier in said war. The Certificate of Comptroller shows payments to Samuel Jackson, of interest and for about one years services. all the circumstances taken together appear to me to be sufficient to place Saml. Jackson, on the pension list under the act of July 15th - 1836. I am satisfied of the fact that the application will do what is right. Please, since the subject, your attention as the earliest day possible, and oblige yours truly.

State of North Carolina
Granville County - Sept. 7 day 1847 -
Dear Sir - your letter of the 15 January last has been shown to me by my friend. Abner, in which you say that there is evidence you file showing that my deceased husband. Samuel Jackson was out with the Militia two or three times and if I would signify my willingness in writing to accept a pension under the act of the 7 th of July 1836 - for 3 months service as a Dragoon and 3 months as a private of Infantry. That it was probable I might obtain a stipend for that amount of service - As regards this proposition to accept under the act of 7 th July 1836 -
I cannot say that I am willing for the reason that I am informed by gentlemen that I profess to know that I am intitled under the act of July 1 st 1836 - which acts intitles the widow to a pension for life whose marriage took place before the last period of service of the deceased husband who served as much as six months - and it appears that you are satisfied that Samuel Jackson served that length of time - and I know that he served much longer but as you think that I have only been able to prove six months service I am willing to accept a pension of six months under the act of July 1 st 1836 - and by reference to the evidence now in your possession you will discover that the marriage took place before the last period of my husband's service. I remain your most obedt. servant - Judith Jackson widow of Samuel Jackson

Dear Sir. I have before me your letter of the 2 nd July. last. address to the Hon. R. M. Saunders of Raleigh - in relation to the investigation of the claims of Elizabeth Hester, & Indenture - Sue Brown, as regards the former - v. Elizabeth, you say that she has been allowed for the only term of service rendered by her husband, according to the Rolls of the north carolina line. By a careful examination of all the Evidence previously sent, and the evidence I now send you. I think you will be induced to think differently, and that the allowance is not sufficient. By referring to her declaration, I think you will find that she states that she had heard her Husband say that he first served two years & a half, before the marriage, & that he then saw a friend and the allowance I suppose was made on the certificate of the secretary of state, which if you will examine shows the service for 1842 as well as I recollect - now take all the other evidence in connection & I suppose it will be sufficient to satisfy that the allowance is not enough. Peter Cook says that he had often heard him speak of his service, & think that he had heard him say that he served three years. Mr Badger of Caswell Co. says that he says Hester did serve in the service at or about the commencement of the war, that he thinks he enlisted for two years & a half - that he was never there long. that he knew when he returned home.

I think he recd. a gain. but for how long he is unable to say. Mr. Baig's of Perry - sayeth that Mr. always under the impression that Joseph Hester, was a soldier of the for a long time - there are the evidences previously examined. I would send you other evidences which seems to show that Joseph Hester, must has been in service for a long time - B. Samuel Chaplin, and the certificate of the Comp. of A. C. which you will please examine - The certificate of Willie's recd. of it, first recd. shows some of 12 months, in 1862 & a payment of $80 - The certificate of Mr. Collins Comp. shows a payment of 104 Tts. which is $216 - These each will make $296 - which shows that he must have been connected with the army for a long time - from my knowledge of the pension here, sufficient to entitle my Mother, Elizabeth Hester to full pay. I trust arms that you will the Mother's defense investigation & disce accordingly - N. B. as regards Mr. Jackson card. I send you other evidences which you will please examine in connection with that previously sent. B. Mrs. Susanah Wilkins to prove the marriage who sayeth she was present when the marriage took place - I also send you a copy of the Bond for the marriage lines which I was not able to find in the first instance - also the certificate of the Comp. Tots. all the evidences taken in connection. I am led to believe will be satisfactory to show that Mr. Jackson is entitled to place

Examine this case & let me hear from you as soon as convenient. I am will alway yours truly.

The evidence heretofore sent you have on file which I hope you will carefully examine, together with what Mr. Gordon says which I think will be entirely sufficient to place Mrs. Jackson on the Pension roll under the act of July 1836 which is the act under which she claims. I have not kept a copy of the evidence heretofore sent, I am certain, that you will as what is right you will discover that my affidavit was made last my court first and having omitted to say the affidavit that Judith Jackson was the widow of Samuel Jackson I waited until August court to have that inserted as I have neglected sending it on until this time.
