This has long since been correctly set out by the office as the Books will show I have no doubt. My Attorney Mr H D Johnson will see you on the subject. When it will be better understood she is the widow of a Revolutionary Soldier and lives in May Family under the notice of the Court. And I claim for her a portion if I prove her entitled.

Before me, personally appeared Henry W. Collier, a citizen of the state aforesaid, who deposed on oath, that in or about the year Eighteen hundred and sixteen and subsequently, Catherine (familiarly called Katy ) Whatley, lived in the family of his uncle, Edward Collier of Abbeville District, South Carolina. In the same district and not many miles distant from his said uncle, there lived about the same time, a man named Maynor — His first or christened name, believed to have been Henry. Common report in the neighborhood, between the year first aforesaid and the first of January, Eighteen hundred and nineteen, said these persons, Katy and Henry, were lawfully married. They continued to live together as husband and wife, until he removed from Abbeville District by his father, in January in the year last aforesaid — He never heard the legality of their marriage questioned, and had no reason to doubt that they were duly married.
He has been informed of the case intended to be made of this his deposition, and believes that Catherine is Katy Maynor,

now living in Russell County, Alabama, who is endeavoring to establish her title to a Land Warrant for the Military Service of her deceased husband, is the identical woman to whom he has referred in the preceding part of this deposition.
He knows of no public or private Register kept of Marriages in South Carolina at the period above mentioned — Indeed he believes such Register was not usual.

On this 8 th day of Nov r . A.D. One Thousand eight hundred & fifty three, personally appeared before me Thomas S. Hale Judge of the Probate Court, within for the County & State aforesaid, Catharine Maynor aged about Sixty five years, a resident of the County of Russell in the State State of Alabama who being duly sworn according to law, declares that she is the Widow of Harry Maynor deceased who was a Private in the Revolutionary War of 1776 between Great Britain & the United States. That she does not know by whom the Company or Reg- iment to which her said Husband belonged, was mustered, nor does she know at what time he was drafted or volunteered, but that before his death he drew for several years a pension from the United States as a Revolutionary Sol- dier under an "Act of Congress passed in the year 1818 for the relief of Soldiers from the State of South Carolina", she does not know for what term of time her said Husband enlisted or was drafted, nor how long he continued in actual service in the war aforesaid, nor does she know anything about his discharge, but believes that the Pension Rolls of the United States at Washington City will fully supply the want of knowledge on her part relative to these facts.

The further states that she was married about the year 1816 to the said Henry Maynor, by Rev. Edward Callins a Justice of the Peace, and that her name before her said marriage was Catharine Whatley, that her said husband died in the County of Harris in the State of Georgia about the third day of July A.D. 1838 and that she is still a widow.
She makes this declaration for the purpose of obtaining a Pension the benefits to which she may be entitled under the "Act 30 th January 1850."
28 th 1850. I do hereby certify that his wife Catharine Maynor I know to be the person on the day of year above mentioned. And I hereby certify that I believe the said Catharine Maynor to be the identical wo- man who was the wife of & is now the widow of the said Henry (Maynor) Revolutionary Sol- dier aforesaid; and that she is of the age above stated.
