NOTES.
 Which must be made before a judge of a court of record in open court, unless applicant is from bodily health unable to appear; it then can be made before the judge, who will certify to the fact of the disability to appear.  Must here state, whether a revolutionary soldier, or officer, or pensioner, naming the State where the pension was paid; or if the husband served and died in the service during any war since 1790—naming them thus: Wayne's, or Indian wars prior to 1800; War with Great Britain, 1812; Seminole War, 1817 and 1818; Black Hawk War, 1832; Florida War, 1835 to 1842; Cherokee and Creek Disturbances, 1836, &c.; Mexican War, 1846 to 1848; and giving the name of the Captain, Company, Regiment, and Colonel; and whether militia, volunteers, or regular army; and place of muster, discharge, or death.  Deceased person's name and residence.—4. The place.—5. The date of death.—6. Husband's name, or father's name.  Name of the minister, or justice of the peace; and if married in any State or county where any public records of marriages are kept, the marriage should be proved by a duly certified copy of the record, or by the testimony of credible witnesses who were present at the marriage; and where such testimony exists, and is not produced, satisfactory reasons must be stated, under oath, why it is not produced; and, in all cases where record evidence or the testimony of witnesses who were present at the marriage could be procured and is not, the claim will be rejected, unless other testimony of a very full and satisfactory character is produced. If it is shown by affidavit that no record evidence or testimony of eye-witnesses can be procured, the claimant may then produce the best other evidence in her power, such as the testimony of witnesses, who were acquainted with her and her husband during his lifetime, knew them to live together as man and wife, and that they were reputed so to be, and that the fact of their having been married was never called in question by their acquaintances.  In no case, however, will the mere statement of the witnesses, that the claimant is the widow of the deceased, be taken as evidence of the marriage; but the witnesses must state the facts and circumstances from which they derive their knowledge or opinion that she is the widow of the deceased.  A certificate from the clergyman or magistrate who solemnized the marriage is not competent evidence, unless the genuineness of the certificate be proved, and the person who gave it be shown to have been authorized to solemnize marriages.  This blank is left, for the purpose of the applicant's stating whether any bounty land or pension has at any time been received by any one; if so, by whom, and when.  Naming the war.  All records or copy of records must be attached to the original declaration by a tape, the ends of which must pass under the seal of the court, in order to prevent the improper addition of any evidence after the papers have been duly executed and certified to by the judge and clerk.  If the widow was re-married, all the facts of both marriages and death of both husbands must be proven.  A probate court is the most convenient court in which to make these proofs.  The law (3d February, 1853) grants pensions to the widows of revolutionary soldiers, without reference to date of marriage, who served six months and over.  Please conform to the above "notes."

Owen Sullivant, W. 11580 BA-J/MCS
Mrs. Sara Sullivan Ervin Ware Shoals, Route 1 South Carolina
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your request for information in regard to soldiers of Braddock's War surnamed Charlton, soldiers of Colonial Wars and of Revolutionary War named Owen and Thomas Sullivant, Sullivan or O'Sullivant, and soldiers of Revolutionary War named Charles and Hewlett Sullivant.
This office has no record of military service rendered by soldiers prior to the Revolutionary War.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims made to the United States for pension and bounty land based upon the military service of soldiers in that war. A careful search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the services of a Charles Sullivant (searched under all spellings) who was from Greenville County, South Carolina, or of any soldiers named Hewlett and Thomas Sullivant, O'Sullivant or Sullivan.
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in pension claim, W. 11580, based upon the Revolutionary War service of Owen Sullivant, the only soldier of that name, searched under all spellings, that is found in the Revolutionary War records of this office.
Owen Sullivant "was returned from the County of Wayne in the State of North Carolina in the year 1782" and placed in Captain Mills' company in Colonel Armstrong's North Carolina regiment, served eleven months as private and was discharged at the close of the Revolution.

He was allowed pension on his application executed August 8, 1825, at which time he was sixty-six years of age and was living in Nash County, North Carolina. The date and place of his birth and the names of his parents were not given.
In 1825 he referred to his wife (name not stated) age being about forty-nine years of age.
Owen Sullivan died March 9, 1839, or March 11, 1838 or 1839.
This soldier married about October 12, 1818, in Nash County, North Carolina, Martha, Patty or Patsey Grizzell or Grizzill.
She applied for pension February 11, 1854, at which time she was living in Nash County, North Carolina. The claim was allowed.
She died June 23, 1854, at the home of Wiley Grizzell or Grizzill in Nash County, North Carolina.
In 1854 it was stated that the only surviving child of Owen Sullivan was Elizabeth Boykin, a daughter by a former wife whose name was not given.
In 1854 one James G. Boykin acted as witness in behalf of the widow, Martha Sullivan, one Irvin Boykin testified in her behalf and one E. W. Boykin was justice of the peace in Nash County, relationship not shown. One Alsey Boykin was living in 1854, relationship not shown, and in that year Wiley Grizzell or Grizzill, aged thirty-nine and Pidy Morris, aged forty-eight, residents of Nash County, stated that they were the only surviving children of the widow, Martha Sullivan.

The alleged date of the marriage ap-proximates so nearly the limitation of the act of 7 July '38, that the most specific & certain evidence will be required. The certified copy of the marriage bond or the original of any family register may supply the requisite proof.
