Prince Edw d Virg a 23 rd Oct r 1878.
Sir, I have given you on the other part of this sheet, the only evidence which my office affords of the marriage which you seek to establish, and that does not correspond as to dates or names with your enquiries, though I doubt not they are the parties named in the marriage licence bond are the same. We have a law requiring marriage to be certified to the clerks office for registry, but it has never been attended to. I have not pursued your form, I presume it is intended to apply to records kept by others than clerks of Courts; I have never before been required to make affidavit to my official certificates, nor indeed could I quit my office for the purpose of swearing to the numerous papers certified by me.
Should any further papers be required from this office, it is but reasonable that some one of the friends of Mrs L. pay the expenses of them.

On this second day of August 1837 personally appeared before me the undersigned a Justice of the Peace in and for said County Eda Langsdon a Resident of Jefferson County in the State of Kentucky aged seventy eight years on the 11 th day of April 1837 (who being first duly sworn according to Law) doth on her Oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefits of the provision made by the act of Congress passed July 4. 1836 That she is the widow of Charles Langsdon who was a Soldier of the Revolutionary Army but she knows nothing of the service of said Langsdon and she has no documentary evidence to prove said service. But she states that the said Charles Langsdon applied for a Pension under the act of Congress of the 18 th March 1818, and furnished the War Department with all the proof necessary to place him on the Pension Roll of the United States which proof is now of file, as she believes, in the office of the Secretary of the War Department of the United States to which she refers. on that proof the said Charles Langsdon was placed on the Pension list of the United States at the sum of Eight dollars per month during his natural life as will appear by the Pension Certificate (hereto attached) dated the 6 th day of May 1820 and signed by J.

then married to Jefferson County Kentucky. She was the wife of William Langston who died on the 11 th day of October 1831 and she has remained his widow ever since that period not having been married again as will more fully appear by the testimony heretofore annexed in being the only proof she can produce without great inconvenience, trouble, injury and delay, the register of her marriage being as she believes in Prince Edward County Virginia and she is too old to procure a Certified Copy.

Dear Sir, Louisville Aug. 17. 1837
Enclosed is the Declaration and application of Eda Langsdon for a pension under the act of Congress of July 4. 1836. Mrs. Langsdon has no other proof that she can now offer proving her marriage with the late deceased Charles Langsdon. It would be very inconvenient & expensive to her in her very indigent circumstances to procure a copy of the marriage Register. I have no interest either direct or indirect in thus presenting her Claims and I assure you that I should be at all times, averse to practicing any imposition on the Officers of Government. If I thought it necessary I would procure the testimonials of the Court and may say, standing here.
At your leisure I should be glad to receive information respecting Mrs. Langsdon's application

Louisville May 22 d 1839
I herewith transmit for your Examination and consideration the Declaration (Affidavit) made by W m Edith Landale (otherwise called Langsdon)
There being, after a cursory Examination to be some difficulty to reconcile the apparent difference between the names of Langsdon and Landale, but by particularly examining the Affidavit after I find that W m Landale is identified as the wife of the Prisoner Charles Langsdon.
I do not intend to dictate to you your duty in any case relating to Pensions for I am well satisfied that you will do whatever duty requires you to do without favour or partiality and whilst I attempt to aid the Poor and unfortunate I will never urge any case where I believe the Applicant do not deserve it.
Should this case not receive your favourable consideration, on the basis as presented, you will confer an obligation on me by pointing out, if consistent with your official duties, the deficiency and the manner in which it may be supplied.
I am Very Respectfully
Yrs. obed t Serv t
Geo. F. Pope

On this 11 th day of December 1838, personally appeared before me John Jones, a Justice of the Peace in and for the County of Jefferson and State of Kentucky Edith Lunsdale, a resident of said County and State, aged seventy seven 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 the Act of Congress, passed July, 7. 1838, entitled "an Act granting half pay and Pensions to certain Widows". That she is the Widow of Charles Lunsdale who was a Revolutionary Pensioner of the United States under the name of Charles Langsdon. She knows nothing of the Revolutionary services of the deceased. He was put on the Pension list of the United States under the act of Congress passed in May 1818 and drew thirty six dollars per year as she has been informed. His Pension Certificate was surrendered to the Pension agent of the United States at Lexington, Kentucky, when she, as the Widow of said deceased, drew the arrearage of Pension due at the time of his death. She cannot recollect the date, number, or by whom said Certificate was signed. She states that her name previous to her marriage was Edith (usually called Edy), daughter of Richard Burt, who lived at a place called Burt's old place in Prince Edward County State of Virginia and that her husband was sometimes called Charles Langsdale, by some persons Charles Lunsdale and by others Charles Langsdon by which latter name he was pensioned.
She further declares that she was mar-

ried to the said Charles Landale (otherwise called Charles Langsdon) in the month of December (the day of the month not recollected) One thousand Eight hundred and Eighty eight at the house of her Father Richard Burks in Prince Edward County State of Virginia. That her husband, the aforesaid Charles Langsdon, or Landale, died on the 11 th day of October 1831. That she was not married to him prior to his leaving the Service, but the marriage took place previous to the first of January Seventeen hundred and ninety four which at the time above stated. She further declares on her Oath that her two Sisters Elizabeth Burks and Amelia Rain, and Nancy Jackson, Sterling Smith, Robert Griffiths were present at her marriage, they all lived in the neighbourhood of her Father. George Landale was also present, as also Babary Morris, who lived in Nottoway Virginia. She has not heard for a long time from the above named persons and cannot say whether they are now dead or not, except she has been informed that George Landale is dead, but she does not know it to be a fact. The only evidence of her marriage she can now produce is the attached transcript of the the Records of the County Court of Prince Edward County State of Virginia, and the annexed affidavits of Persons who were for many years past acquainted with her hus- band and herself. She is too poor to employ a Person to go to Virginia to see if she can prove her marriage by living Witnesses & she is too old, poor & infirm to go herself. Sworn to and Em Edith her X Landale mark

Be it known that on this 16 th day of January 1839. before me John Jones. a Justice of the peace in and for the County and State aforesaid, personally appeared George Pope a Resident of said County who, being first duly sworn according to law deposes and says that many years ago he became acquaint- ed with a man, who was some times (by different persons) called Charles Langsdon, Charles Langsdale and Charles Landale. That some time afterwards, he became acquaint- ed with his reputed wife Edith Langsdon. The said Charles and Edith lived together as husband & wife and they had several children whom they recognized as such. After the Congress of the United States had in May 1818 passed an act placing certain soldiers of the Revolutionary Army on the pension list, the said Charles and his family resided in the County of Bullitt State aforesaid and applied to the court of said County & made his Declaration therein. On which Declaration the said Charles, by the name of Charles Langsdon, obtained a pension Certificate and afterwards moved to the County of Jefferson.

where he died. The said Pope further deposes, that he has often seen the said Edith (who has made the foregoing declaration under the name of Edith Landale) since the death of said Charles Langsdon, the person aforesaid, and knows her to be the same person who (many) years ago refused to be the wife of the said Person.
