State of Virginia
Essex County to wit.
On this 20 day of Septm 1843 personally appeared before me a Justice of the Peace of the County Court of Essex, Elizabeth A Loyde a resident of the County aforesaid aged 71 years, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on her oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by Act of Congress passed July 7, 1838 entitled "an act granting half pay and pensions to certain widows." That she is the widow of George Loyde who was a Soldier during the war of the Revolution - that the said George Loyde enlisted in a company commanded by Capt John Sead, which was attached to the first Regiment of the Virginia State line, for the term of three years, which term he served out. During the time that he was in service, this deponent hath frequently heard her late husband the said George Loyde say that he was at the Storming of Stony Point, and that during a portion of the time that he was in the service he was attached to the Quartermaster's department. So long an interval has elapsed since those occurrences transpired, and she is now so far advanced in life, and many of the incidents at one time fresh in her memory having faded away, she cannot pretend to state with entire accuracy

those incidents as they occurred during his service which were so frequently given by him to her after their marriage. She has frequently heard him state the time he entered the service - and the time when he left it - the countries through which he marched, and the various battles in which he was engaged - but with the exception of the storming of Stoney Point all have escaped her memory. - She further declared that she was married to the said George Lynde on the day of July 1793 - and that her husband the aforesaid George Lynde died on the 13 th day of Sept r 1813 that she was not married to him prior to his leaving the service - but the marriage took place previous to the first of January 1794 viz, at the time above stated.

Essex County April 8 th 1845 To the commissioner of Pensions of the United States
Sir
I enclose you herewith the petition of Mrs Elizabeth A Loyde the widow of George Loyde decd a soldier of the War of the Revolution, asking that such certificate or certificates as may be necessary to enable her to receive the Pensions which she is entitled to under the acts of Congress of March 3 rd 1843 & 17 June 1844.
Mrs Loyde has received the pension allowed her under the act of Congress of the 7 th of July 1838; the evidence on which her claim is based is doubtless on file in your office to which I beg leave to refer you. I also enclose a power of attorney acknowledged by her before E F Noel Esqr a Justice of the Peace of Essex county, authorising the delivery of such certificate or certificates as may issue in her favour to me or to my order. I have not had the county seal annexed to the Justices certificate in the usual way - I deemed it unnecessary as I believe in the original application of Mrs Loyde under the act of Congress of the 7 th of July 1838 the same Justice officiated, and of course all necessary evidence is on file in your office. I am endeavouring to aid an aged neighbour; I pay but little attention to such matters; if any thing further is necessary please inform me, and if a certificate or certificates should be granted, be pleased to forward them to me by mail to Rexburg Post Office Essex County Virginia.
(Very Respectfully
Geo. J. Wright.
Refer to Col. Erastus T. Montague a clerk in the State or Post Office Department. —

Sir
Washington City 29 th Sept 1843
You will no doubt recollect that on this day I placed in your hands Mrs E A Loyde's decla- ration together with the evidence of her marriage with George Loyde late a soldier of the revolution- ary army - believing that it is absolutely necessary for all public officers to attend strictly to the interest as well to the state as to individuals, and have no doubt but many applications have been made to you either fraudulently or without good reason and that undue means may have been resorted to - and my having no personal acquaintance within the City to give me an introduction to you and to whom I might refer as to character, I would therefore refer you to The President of the United States with whom, I have had the honor & pleasure of being acquainted for years that are gone by - I thus refer you to show that I am acting in good faith please let me hear from you speedily, and an early investigation into the business would greatly oblige your humble serv t G.
