Personally appeared before me Oscar Piper Esqr an acting Justice of the Peace in and for the county of Woodford and State of Kentucky Mrs Sarah (Hutchinson) resident of the County of Woodford and State of Kentucky and widow of Peter Hutchinson deceased and is a Lady of undoubted respectability and who after being duly sworn according to law doth on her oath make the following Declaration in order to an allowance for the amount due her as the widow of said Peter Hutchinson on account the services rendered by said Peter Hutchinson in the war of the Revolution so that the reasons her aforesaid husband did not apply during his life for the benefit of the act of Congress passed the 7 th day of June 1832 are as follows that he became blind about ten years before his death and resided in the remote portion of Woodford County Kentucky and was not apprized of the passage of said Law until some time in the year 1835, and that he then spoke to the Hon ble David Mitchell who has testified in this case, to attend to his application for the benefit of said Law, and then stated to Mr Mitchell the nature and particulars of his services in the war of the Revolution. Mr Mitchell then promised to attend, and see that he was enrolled on the rolls of Revolutionary Pensioners, and he being a man of a great deal business took hold, attending to the matter until the death of said Peter Hutchinson which took place on the 20 th day of September 1837. She saith that Mr David Mitchell was one of the most business men in the portion of the County in which her aforesaid husband resided and was one of their neighbors was the reason he was

appeared to by her said husband to attend to his business, and had he not been promised to attend to the matter and negligently postponed the same; her aforesaid husband would have spoken to some one else to attend it. She further Declares that from the frequent mention made by her aforesaid husband of the Officers General Greene and Colonel Lee and the Army of General Green she supposes that her aforesaid husband must have served in the war of the Revolution in the company of Colonel Lee and under General Greene Command; And the Regiment she cannot now say the number of, but supposed it to be the same to which Colonel Lee belonged. She further Declares that the services of her aforesaid husband in the war of the Revolution were rendered towards the close of the war. And that her recollection is supported in this particular by a certificate hereto annexed from the Auditor of the State of Virginia Shewing that the services of her aforesaid husband in the war of the Revolution were rendered prior to the year 1782. She cannot say the precise date her aforesaid husband entered the service in the war of the Revolution and the precise time he left the same, but infers from the fact shown by the aforesaid certificate that his services were rendered prior to 1782; That her aforesaid husband left the same in 1781, and from the circumstance that he served three years in said war. That he must have entered the same in 1778 — she further Declares that she often heard her aforesaid husband speak of an officer in whose company she thinks he served in the names of Payton and his that is her said husband service was in the company of Major Henry Payton and Colonel Lee if her recollection serves her at this day, right. She further Declares that many other officers of the Revolution has she heard her husband speak of but that their names have escaped her memory. She also Declares that John Hutchinson whose name is mentioned in the aforesaid certificate must according to her supposition have been a Brother of her aforesaid husband, as her husband had a younger brother than himself.

by the name of John Hutchinson, and that the Declarant has a son by the name of John D. who is named after his uncle John Hutchinson and that she herewith files two leaves which are the front leaves taken from the old Latin & Greek School Books of her aforesaid husband, and his brother John and that said leaves are the front leaves of said books and upon which are written the names of her said husband and his brother John in their own hands, and that there are in her possession various volumes of Latin, Greek and French Books with the names of her said husband and John Hutchinson written therein now in her possession.

Your letter under date the 18 July 1843 requiring explanation of my share in the preparation and transmission of the deposition of Charles King in support of the claim of Mrs. Sarah Hutchinson, was on the 29 th at night received. I drew up the declaration of Mrs. Hutchinson as she made the statements before the Magistrate. She then produced Charles King as a witness, which was the first time that I knew he was knowing to the facts of the residence and conflagration of the Bible; and I wrote down the statements he made, as he stated them, before the Magistrate with "my own hand", and knew not then whether he could either read or write. The circumstance of his making his mark I did not recollect and presume the "Justice" must have written his name. I on yesterday came by Woodford Co. to see said Charles King, and interrogated him as to the means through which he acquired a knowledge of the facts that the entries of the marriage of Mrs. Hutchinson and the births of her children were recorded in the Bible, and I ascertained that "he can both read and write; he is a labouring man and writes badly, but reads well." There are persons I find who write in different hands, & wish to avoid writing their names, and to make their marks, but henceforth I will cause all to write their names who can. There are but few Magistrates who are willing or in fact can draw up the papers in the preparation of a claim in accordance with the regulations of your Dep.

artment without making mistakes, defasans, interlineatus etc is the reason the claims are prepared by me.
If the above be not satisfactory, and you will give such instructions as are necessary to produce satisfaction they shall be complied with if possible. I am obliged to you for requiring "at once" the explanation desired.

To the Commissioner of Pensions:
Sir:
By the request of Mr George W. Hutchinson I enclose certain papers connected with his claim to Bounty land.
The case is this: By the last Will of Sarah Hutchinson, died March 29 1855, and Probated in April 1856, she devised the whole of her estate, Real, personal and mixed to her son, George Washington Hutchinson. It was proved in Court that Mrs Hutchinson died April 2 d 1855.
On the 16 th of August, 1855, a Warrant (No 3755) was issued from Your Office for 160 acres of land to Sarah Hutchinson, Widow of Peter Hutchinson.
This Warrant was sent by Mr G. W. Hutchinson to a firm of Land Agents at Savannah City N. J. to be located; but they returned it to Mr H. and informed him it must be returned to Your Office to be cancelled, and a Warrant issued in his own name.
Pursuant to these instructions, I now enclose to You the Warrant above referred to - an Official Copy of Mrs Hutchinson's Will and proof as to the time she died; together with a Certificate that G. W. Hutchinson is upwards of thirty Years old.
Your early attention to this matter will greatly oblige Mr Hutchinson.
I am very Resp y (Yours Affec y )
