Sally Quarrie widow of Alexander Quarrie Revolutionary Pension Claim act 29 July 1848 -
Edwards & Smith attornés -

State of Virginia Kanawha County, ss.
On this 30 th day of September 1857, before me, the undersigned, one of the Justices of the County Court of Kanawha County, personally appeared Sally Quarrier a resident of said County, aged 80 years, who being duly sworn, according to law, doth, on her oath, make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the provisions made by the act of Congress, passed on the 29 th day of July 1848.
That she is the widow of Col. Alexander Quarrier formerly Captain Alexander Quarrier of the city of Philadelphia in the State of Pennsylvania more recently of the city of Richmond in the State of Virginia but at the time of his death of the County of Kanawha in the State of Virginia. That her said husband Alexander Quarrier was a Captain in the service of the United States during the Revolution; that he was in the Philadelphia Militia. That she has good reason to think and does firmly believe not only from what she has frequently heard him say but from conversations of others with him in her presence, and from information derived from others, as well as from concurrent circumstances. That the said Alexander Quarrier entered the service of his country at an early period of the Revolution. She has no distinct recollection of having heard, from any quarter, the period of his service. It may have been two years or more - or less. She does not doubt but that she has seen his commission. She recollects of having seen, among her husband's papers, orders in writing, addressed to him as an officer from Gen. Washington. These papers have long since been lost or destroyed.

She also recollects of having frequently heard him speak of the battles in which he was engaged, and most particularly of that of Trenton. The late President Monroe, when Governor of Virginia was a visitor at her husband's house in Richmond, Virginia three or four times a week. They frequently recurred to occurrences and incidents of the American Revolution which came under their mutual observation and among others she recollects that the engagement in which Mr. Monroe was wounded in the arm was often referred to. The impression remains on affiant's mind from these conversations that her husband was in the same engagement.
She also recollects of having seen letters from both Presidents Monroe and Madison addressed to her husband, subsequent to his removal to the County of Kanawha, advising him that he was entitled to a pension for his services in the Revolution - But her husband, to her knowledge never made application for one. She thinks that some of the provisions of the pension law, as it then existed, were so objectionable to him that he declined availing himself of its benefits.
Affiant also recollects of her husband informing her that he was engaged to his first wife long before he quit the service of the United States, but would not marry until quiet should be restored to the country.
She further declares that she was married to the said Alexander Leavitt on the 30th day of May, 1799, and that her husband departed this life on the 24th day of May, 1827 and that her said marriage was long subsequent to his leaving the service of the United States. She further states that she

has continued a widow from the death of her husband Alexander Quarrier to the present time, and that she has never before made application for a pension.

Charleston, W. Va 8/28/1913 Commissioner of Pensions, Rev. War Sec. Hon. Sir =
att I am writing you, upon the suggestion of the Sec. of War, to ask if you can aid me in elucidating the Revolutionary records of Gerard Nutt of Westmoreland county, Va and Alexander Invarries of Philadelphia, who after ward removed to

Richmond, Va.
The Historical Society and State Archives, here in Charleston, has a roll of Virginia Soldiers of the Rev. which contains the name of "Grand Nutt (Lt.) M aj Moreland," and after the name is placed "S er of Dr." 1835, which is said to relate to Pension reports. As to Alex- ander Invaries; he was said to have been Col. of Militia in Philadelphia, during the Revolution.

Hardesty's History of D. Va. , is said to be the source of information regarding him, but I find no such work in any library. These men were my ancestors and my object is to establish my eligibility to become a member of a certain Revolutionary Society. Hoping that you can furnish the desired data and thanking you in advance,
I am Respectfully Yours, A. B. Barnes

I James C. McFarland of Charleston Kanawha County Va would state, that I was well acquainted with Col o Alexander Quarrier deceased - from the time of his removal to the neighborhood of Charleston - say June 1814 - until his death in May 1827 - Col o Quarrier was a man of ardent and patriotic feelings, - Very shortly after I became acquainted with him - the late war with Great Britain was raging most fiercely - and the Capitol of the nation itself, had fallen into the hands of the enemy. This disgraceful and wanton act of the foe - was strongly denounced by Col o Q - whose bosom burned with the fire of youth to expel the invader, - Though he was more than 45 years my senior - we were very often together - and on terms of intimacy and friendship. His mind, ever strong and enthusiastic, so reverted often to early scenes - and the days of The Revolution. His memory in regard to these trying times was indeed most remarkable, and although after a lapse of twenty five or thirty years - I cannot recall the particular Battles in which he said he was engaged - yet - I have no doubt he faithfully served his adopted country during her revolutionary struggle. He died, as above stated in May 1827 - His years were full - his reputation untarnished, - I was frequently with him during his last illness - and assisted in consigning his body to the Tomb. - His aged Widow, who was never afterwards married - still lives - a just recipient, under the legislation of Congress, of the bounty of her country. -

The said Quarrier resided in the County aforesaid, for many years, was one of the Justices of the Peace therein and a man of great respectability and integrity. His wife Mrs Sally Quarrier survived him, and is yet living, having continued a widow since the death of her husband. The affiant is well acquainted with Mrs Quarrier and can say, without scruple that she has never known a more estimable lady. She resides in this County, and is now aged and infirm.

That the said Alexander Duane, resided in the County of Kanawha, Virginia - and adjacent, from the month of June 1832, up to the said month of May 1837, and for a long period after, was a member of the household and family of said Col. Duane. Affiant has often heard the said Alexander Duane speak of his services in the Revolutionary War with Great Britain, and repeatedly heard him relate the battles of the American Revolution, in which he, the said Col. Duane was an active participant in the American Cause - and more especially and particularly has the said Alexander Duane spoken of his services at the battles of Trenton, the Clouds, and other engagements. The said Alexander Duane often spoke of these battles with enthusiasm, and as characteristic of the patriot, would recur to the stirring events of that period with as much pleasure as the most ardent of the lovers of American liberty and freedom. From his frequent allusion to these battles, affiant is satisfied that he was at the battle of Trenton, probably of the Clouds, and other main engagements of the Revolution. Affiant has heard him say that he was an officer, but what grade, has not now a distinct recollection.
The said Alexander Duane, died, leaving a widow, on the 24 th May 1837, aged about 84. Affiant was present during the greater part of his sickness - and spoke

to him a few hours before his death - was present, in his house, when he died.
Affiant was in the 38 th year of his age, at the death of the said Col. Deane.

And at the same time and place, came also before me, a Sister of the Rev. the said Deane , Mrs. Margaret A. Woods, the wife of Robert C. Woods Esq. of the City of Wheeling, and who is personally known to me to be the same person, and made oath in due form, that she is the daughter of the late Alexander Deane, deceased, who formerly lived in the City of Charles Town, Virginia; and at the time of his death, and for many years previous, in the County of Hampshire, Virginia. That affiant, is now in the 58 th year of her age, and the third living child of her said father, the late Col. Deane. That she has often had conversations with her father, about his services in the war of the American Revolution - and she has heard him, repeatedly, in conversation with herself and others, speak of his engagements in said war, and particularly, in regard to the battles of Trenton and the "Crossings" - and others. That, she is confident, from the frequent conversations she has had with her father, and the many times he has related the events of his services and campaigns in the Revolutionary war, to herself and to others, her said father served in said Revolution, and was in many of the battles - especially those of the Crossings, in 1781 - and that of Trenton, in 1777. - That, she may be mistaken as to the battle of the Crossings - but her recollection is distinct and positive as to Trenton, and some others. Affiant remembers also, of hearing her father say, that he, the said Alexander Deane, was one among the first, who had the honor to convey to General Washington, intelligence of the close of the war - in 1783 - and that he was on intimate terms of friendship with General Washington - That the said

Alexander Duranier was twice married, and died in 1827, leaving Sally Duranier, his widow, who is now at an advanced age - and who has never again married. Affiant has no doubt or fear of intent in making this statement, and makes it under the full conviction that it is correct in every particular.
