Be it known, That on this the 1 st day of January A. D. 1853 before the subscriber an acting justice of the Peace in and for the county and State aforesaid, personally appeared Mrs. Esther Warner a resident of of said county, aged seventy three years past, and made oath in due form of law, that she is the only surviving child of Mary Knox, who was an applicant for a Revolutionary Pension as surviving widow of affiant's father Robert Knox. That her father Robert Knox, aforesaid, served in the War of the American Revolution in the State of North Carolina, and was living, at the time of his ser- vices in the County of Pitt; Affiant's father, said Robert Knox, served three years and six months, most of the time in the capacity of Lieutenant, and affiant has often seen his commission, but for the disposal of all of his papers, affiant refers to proof upon file in the Pension Office. Affiant's father declared that her father, said Robert Knox and mother said Mary Knox, whose maiden name was Crandell, were married in the County of Pitt and State of North Carolina, and prior to the last actual service of said Robert Knox, affiant's father. Affiant makes this dec- laration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress of July the 4 th 1836, but hopes to establish her claim, by the act of Congress, approved May the 4 th 1846, and the proof already upon file in the Pension Office, that which accompanies this dec- laration, and that which her agent may hereafter file.
