from my best information, make this following statement Viz " I was formerly a widow of Silas Taylor who in his lifetime was a Soldier of The Service of The United States in the War of The Revolution. (Viz)
"In his lifetime on or about the 22 d day of October September in the year 1820 he made a Declaration before the Circuit Court of this County in which he claimed the benefit of the then recent Act of Congress granting Pensions to the Surviving officers and Soldiers of The Revolution etc.
I cannot do better in stating his services in said War than to refer to his own statement which as I am informed is of Record in the Clerk's Office of this County.
I was married to said Silas Taylor in what is now called Franklin County Indiana in month of March about year 1811 and my name before I was so married was Rebecca Chandler we were married by Esquire Allen.
Our children were
1 Ebenezer Taylor born February 5 1813 2 Jeremiah Taylor born February 1 1816 3 Silas Taylor born July 14 1820
My former husband said Silas Taylor died in this County on the 18 day of October 1821 very soon after making his above named Declaration
I remained his widow until on or about the

9 day of February 1830, when, in this county I married one Arthur Wheatly, who died in this county on (or about) the 9th day of February 1841 leaving me again a widow which I yet remain, never having married again since the death of said Arthur Wheatly.
I make this declaration for the purpose of applying for a Revolutionary pension as former widow of said Silas Taylor under Act February 3rd 1853 and any amendments or constructions thereof and I hereby with full power of substitution appoint C H Barkley of Louisville Kentucky my agent in this behalf. This 28 day of February AD 1860 age is 66 years as above.

Yours of the 20th inst is before me. I find no record of marriage of Silas Taylor to Rebecca Chandler . I find the record of marriage of Silas Taylor to Susannah Chandler by Jno Allen which is evidently the one you want. No license for any year prior to 1815 can be found that we can find. Should there be any mistake in names I know nothing of when it occurs

Dear Sir
I wrote to Auditor at Harrisburg Penn. for proof of the Service of Silas Taylor and I requested him to have search made in Executive Department as well as his own
I enclose his reply — I am at loss where else to apply I know of no other sources of evidence — I find a reference to Capt Lenoir as being a prisoner at one time — I find the reference in Saffell's Book called "Records of Revolution" — Perhaps a more thorough search among Gen'l Records will show his Service? Perhaps the family of Capt Lenoir might be found and the old Book? Do you know them? Tell Henry Yours Truly Washington C. H. Buckley D. C.

Dear Sir,
There seems to be an established Custom among our Republican friends, to apply to you for inform- ation wanted, no matter what that may be.
My Grand Father Silas Taylor an unknown deserted the British army and joined the Amer- ican army and participated in the War of the Revolution. Was in the Battles of Valley Forge - in about 1822 he made application for a pension but was killed immediately thereafter. About 1846 my Father Silas Taylor and his Brother Jefferson - took up the claim for my Grand Mother Rebecca Taylor, but failed for want of proof to successfully prosecute the same. Annuity dis- continued - I fail to know the Regt or Co under which he fought and was wounded -
Yours S ir .

I want to be informed how to proceed to find the Co and regiment and such other information as may be needed to prosecute the claim if such should be thought practicable - Any service you may recommend or any advice will be very kindly received
Yours very truly
