Dear Sir.
I herewith enclose another affidavit, in support of the claim of Mrs Margaret Lugal. The family have no register of the marriage or of the births of the children; but the three witnesses whose affidavits have been taken all go to fix the date of the marriage in 1777 or 1778. The witnesses have no record or written paper whereby they can fix on the date certainly, nor does it appear to me reasonable that it should be expected that they should have a written memorandum of the date of a marriage which they did not see, when in fact they have no such document with regard to their marriage. They were governed in fixing the date by other circumstances.
I am yours &
A. D. Montague.
P.S.
I have been requested by the heirs of Henry Patterson to make an enquiry, whether or not, they are not entitled to his pay, or to something for his services. He enlisted under Capt James Charlton during the last war, and was either killed or died in service.

To whom it may concern:
I am anxious to establish an authentic record that will determine whether or not I am eligible to become a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Will you help me in this matter?
Do you have a record of Adam Lugar Sr.? According to our family history he fought under Gen. Geo. Washington in 1777 or 1778. Can you tell me whether or not he drew a pension , where he lived during the revolution, dates of the births, deaths, and marriage of both he and his wife also the maiden name of his wife ?
I would appreciate an early reply in regard to this matter.
Thanking you I am,

Dear Sir,
Mrs Margaret Logan who was a applicant for a pension and whose situation is now at the War Office, has departed this life. and I expect from the great delay in investigating these claims, that the other individuals whose declaration have been forwarded to the Secretary of War, some of them eight months ago, will all die, before any action will be had; viz. Jane Buford, Catharine Leanez, Fanny Bishop & Martha Bolt

Dear Sir
Some considerable time since. Mr. Adam Lugen. of Giles County. made application for a Pension, since which time I understand he has not heard from the papers. in the case. He is Bopidly declining and feels a great anxiety to know. if there is any prospect of his claim being allowed. and to know. if any thing farther is to be done. by him; I am apurence from me. that I believe his claim a just one if it comes within the act. can have any weight. I will most cheerfully give it. upon the general opinion of those who know him, that he has served as he states. - The only doubt upon my mind was whether. those who served as he states. can be brought within the Act. - and I would call your attention to that point. - If farther testimony is necessary to prove his services. I believe it can be furnished - an immediate reply to this. would confer a favour - on to Mr. Lugen himself. at Giles Co. House
Yours &c Geo R. Gibson
