This deponent further saith that at the time his name was first inscribed on the pension list he was a resident of Spartanburg District State of South Carolina and that he still resides at the same place.

Sir
I have prepared for Mrs. Sarah King the widow of John King, a copy of the original Declaration and Certificate and now transmit them to you for examination. I have endeavored to conform to the printed directing furnished by a friend in Congress.
As it required that a large quarto Bible should be sent per Mail to your office for Inspection - or is it to be sent to Charleston?
It was common in Mr. King's time as I have been informed - it certainly has been common long since - for the Parties by themselves or with two or three friends to go before a Magistrate to have the marriage ceremony performed.
Mr. King was married by a Magistrate who has been dead some Twenty years and it will be impossible for the fact of Marriage perhaps to be proven by living witnesses present at the ceremony. I have known Mr & Mrs King for Twenty five years and should put myself to any reasonable trouble to aid the widow in her application as the family are estimable and highly respectable. In this State the fact of marriage is sufficiently proven for all legal purposes whether over call it on an Indictment for Polygamy or in an action of Crim. Cov. Should anything further be necessary will you please to furnish me with specific instructions as to the point.
Yours Most Obedt Servt

Dr. Sir,
By the request of Mr. John King, a Revolutionary Soldier I enclose his affidavit which is designed to enable him again to be enrolled on the Pension List. From reading the instructions from the department of War, it appears unnecessary for the applicant to make his statement on oath in open Court. He has therefore made his statement before a Justice of the Peace whose official character I have certified to. Your attention will greatly oblige Mr. King who is deemed an excellent citizen.
Respectfully yours

The Bible from which the claims are taken, was a family bible of my own; but in some remarks to the Mr. King, I mentioned to him that I could give him one - Consequently on my visit with my Family to Spartanburg in 1833, I took with me my own Bible, hav- ing my Family record, previously transcribing the said record into another Bible - This much is due in explanation of the seeming con- nection of Family Records.
