Attorney C. H. Barker Louisville Kentucky

Owen County Kentucky Sec
I Frances Luttrell of said County aged from my best information about 68 years do make the following statement " I am the widow of Rodham Luttrell, and as such have heretofore claimed a Revolutionary pension as the widow of said Rodham Luttrell, who from my best recollection served on the Sea and Land Service both in the troops of the State of Virginia — Refer to my Statements heretofore made — I was married to said Rodham Luttrell in Scott County Kentucky in the month of October 1811, by one John Ficklin a preacher, and my name before said marriage was Frances Atkins
I have no record of our marriage and no certificate of it — I understand that the records of said County of Scott were burned about 20 years ago and that it is therefore probable that there is no public record of our marriage — I do not know of any person any where convenient that was at our wedding and I understand that the preacher is dead — and I am also told that his family has gone to Missouri — county unknown so that it would not be convenient for me

I find them and get a certificate from his "Record" and do not know indeed whether he kept one or not
Our son John Luttrell has the record of his birth and that is the best proof that I can get of our marriage
My husband the above named Rodham Luttrell died in this County on the 14th day of January 1832 (eighteen hundred and thirty two) and some time before he died (I do not now remember how long) he received or applied for some Land Scrip from the State of Virginia or the United States or both on account of his Revolutionary services
Mr Henry Wingate of Frankfort Kentucky had something to do with getting this Scrip but whether as agent or as the Magistrate (or both) I do not know — I remember that my said husband went to see him about it.
My recollection also is that my husband was a witness for Mr James Brice or Briscoe of Franklin County Kentucky who in his lifetime was a pensioner, and whose widow now is
— I make this declaration for the purpose of applying for the benefit of the Pension Act of June 7th 1832 and its amendments, as the widow of the above named Rodham Luttrell — And I

hereby, with full power of substitution appoint C. H. Barclay of Louisville Kentucky my true and lawful Attorney for me and in my name to prosecute said claim hereby revoking and countermanding all previous powers of Attorney to all persons whatsoever — Witness my name on this 18 th day of April 1857. I have never married again since the death of said Rodham Luttrell but I am still his widow — Frances her Luttrell Seal mark
Clive County Kentucky see — I Lucy Luttrell of said County aged from my best information 50 years do state that I was well acquainted with the above named Rodham Luttrell — He was a reputed Revolutionary Soldier of the service of the United States and not long before he died he applied for Land Scrip on account of his Revolutionary Services — After he died we got the Scrip and I as one of his heirs sold it or my share of it — one third or fourth — or authorized John Luttrell to do so for me — I have forgotten the names of the witnesses before whom I sold or made the authority to sell — According to what I have always heard and believed and

never heard disputed the above named Rodham Luttrell and Frances Atkins were lawfully married in Scott County, Kentucky above the year 1811
Said Rodham Luttrell died in this County, on the 14th day of January 1832 (Eighteen Hundred and thirty two) as will appear by the annexed record thereof which I made in the year 1845 — twelve years ago, and which I "copied" then from an old slip of paper on which I made the original entry a few days after the death of my father Said Rodham Luttrell. The white leaves of the old bible were all either full or torn out, and I kept the slip of paper loose in the bible until in 1845 (Eighteen Hundred and forty five) we bought a new one and I then made this entry — The original on the slip of paper has got lost or destroyed or mislaid
I John Luttrell of said County aged near 45 years do make the following State- ment, — I am the child of the above named Rodham Luttrell and his wife Frances Luttrell — According to what I have always heard and believed

and never heard disputed, my parents above named were lawfully married in Scott County Kentucky about the year 1810 and that my mother's name before her marriage was Frances Adkins Adkins We have no record of their marriage
I have one of my birth and of my brother Rodham which is heret annexed and herein copied, and which was made by a Mr. Latham (now deceased) as I can well remember  was informed at least 35 years or nearer 40 years ago done when my brother Rodham was an infant and which I have always believed to be, and regarded as genuine
(Copy)
"John Luttrell son of Rodham Luttrell and his wife Fanny was born in the year of our Lord 1811 October 25 th "
Rodham Luttrell was born in the year of our Lord 1818 — July 13 th — "
I remember very well that not long before my father died he applied for a Land Warrant or Land Scrip, either from the State of Virginia or the United States or both — on account of his services in the Revolutionary War — either on Sea or

Land (or both probably) as I always heard from him that he served on both Mr Henry Wingate or Edmund St. Richard Taylor (or both) of Frankfort Kentucky had some - thing to do with the getting of his Scrip - After our father died one of them (Mr Wingate!) wrote a letter to my father (not being apprised of his death) concerning his Scrip claim - I went to see him and took the letter back (and probably left it there). I have no idea where it is now -
Mr Wingate gave me full instructions what to do in the case - I got my mother and Frances Luttrell - and Lucy Luttrell and Rodham Luttrell to give a power of Attorney to me (or in blank) to sell the Scrip (or ratify a previous sale of my father's)
John Roberson (or Robinson) (or Robertson) and John Reddin were the attesting witnesses to their signatures to the power of Attorney and they went before a magistrate and sworn (or testified to) the power of Attorney They are both now deceased.
My present recollection is that Peter Sanders of this County was the name of the magistrate.
- I went to Mr Wingate at Frankfort and made the sale and assignment -
My present impression is that a man named Taylor was an attesting witness.

to my signature or signatures
My present recollection is that my father was a witness for James Biscoe or Briscoe of Franchine County in his pension application. And we both further state from our childhood up to the death of the above described Rodham Luttrell, he and his Frances Luttrell lived together as husband and wife and were reputed to be among their neighbors and acquaintances and that said Frances Luttrell has never married again since the death of said Rodham Luttrell but she is still his widow — and she now lives in this County, and did this day in our presence sign and acknowledge the foregoing declaration — And for the reasons herein above set forth we certify that said Frances Luttrell is the identical person whom she therein represents herself to be and that she is now a widow.
Said John Luttrell also states that he knows the date of his father's death to be January 19 th 1832 to be correct, states from positive recollection and also from reference to some dates that he has this day examined in relation to correspondence.

Referring to Some Public Documents for Proof etc, etc Asking Re-Examination
C H Barkley Louisville Kentucky

Pension Office, May 15 th 1857.
Sir:
I have examined the papers upon which Frances Luttrell claims pension under the Act of February 3 rd 1853, as the widow of Rodham Luttrell, an alleged Revolutionary soldier.
No land was ever granted to John Luttrell or his heirs by the United States for his revolutionary services. If he or they received land at all, in virtue of his revolutionary services, it must have been from the State of Virginia. Application should be made to the Register of the Land Office of Virginia, residing at Richmond, for a transcript of the evidence upon which land was granted him, and a description of said land, and the sale of it should be traced to his heirs. The claim, in the meantime, will remain suspended.

The Book containing there I find in the Library of Mechanics Institute of this City — of which I am a member I am not familiar with the proceedings in this class of cases but suppose that Mr Suthrell had previously received his Warrant from Virginia and that the United States gave him Seiz in lieu of it — Now the question to my mind is whether this Seiz were located on U.S. Lands or Va Lands — I presume that it was located on land belonging to the U.S. , and that the tracing of its assignment and location comes from the General Land Office If I am correct in this supposition I suppose that we have done our share when we set forth the particu- -lars of the assignment and sale of our warrant, and all that now remains is for you to be satisfied from the records of another branch of Records in your own city that our statements agree with those

I suppose however that it is my duty to furnish you with these records — I have heretofore furnished records from the Counties of States tracing military Warrants to certain parties, but as the records of this one are in General Government offices I supposed it unnecessary — — Especially so as I have now given you some further particulars of this Warrant by its Number etc. etc., I have however written to the General Land Office for an abstract in this case and requested it to be sent to you

Notice of Other Evidence Coming, or Having Come
C H Barkley Louisville Kentucky

Land Office, June 1 st 1857.
Sir:
In reply to your letter of the 23 rd ult. I have to state that it would seem Rodham Luttrell received a land warrant from the State of Virginia, which was satisfied by scrip issued by the United States. The evidence upon which the land warrant was issued must, therefore, be on file in the land office at Richmond, as suggested in my letter of the 15 th of May. I can, consequently, only repeat that "application should be made to the Register of the land office at Richmond, for a transcript of the evidence upon which the warrant was issued," and the sale of it traced to the heirs of the present claimant.
I am, respectfully, Your Obt. Servt., W. McCulloch, Commissioned.
C. H. Barkley, Esqr. Louisville, Ky.

Louisville Ky June 5 th 1857
Sir
In answer to the foregoing I will inform you that some days ago I wrote to the General Land Office and gave a full description of the warrant and requested that a transcript showing its location and tracing the assignment should be sent to you — I also wrote to the Register at Richmond Va and enclosed him a copy of your previous letter and requested him to attach thereto all the evidence that his records show on the various points therein raised and to forward it to you when these all shall have come in if not satisfactory to you you will please point out the defects in detail
Respy Yours
