Sir,
The claim of Lucinda Lee has been examined and the papers filed . A term of service by her husband is proven by by the Comptroller General's certificate for which if the date of the marriage be satisfactorily established as the rules require a pension at the rate of $31.82 per annum will be granted.
Before parol testimony to establish the date of the marriage can be secured it must be shown by the certificate of the Clerk of Caswell County,N.C. that no record testimony which would prove the date of the marriage is to be found in his office. If any ancient private record of the marriage is in existence it should be forwarded to this office . The parol evidence to which preference is given,is that of old and intelligent persons who have long resided in the neighborhood with the parties,and whose respectibility is vouched for by the leading men in their county. They should make oath that they knew Elliott and Lucinda Lee to have been living together as husband and wife prior to January 1, 1794; or by comparing the ages of the children with their own they are satisfied that the married state must have existed prior to the time above stated.

Claimant should set forth in some more specific form each tour of service rendered by her husband, and establish the same by the certificate of the Comptroller Gen. of South Carolina.
The alleged date of Mrs. Lee's marriage should be proven by the certified copy of the marriage bond or license from the Clerk's Office of Caswell County, N.C. or by some other record or documentary evidence, if such exists, or if it be shown that record proof cannot be obtained the testimony of respectable and intelligent individuals who knew them as husband and wife at an ascertained date prior to January 1794 may be received.

The affidavit of John Walker in the case of Lucinda Lee, widow of Elliott Lee, is not satisfactory to establish the date of their marriage prior to January 1794.
To make the testimony of this witness availing as proof of the marriage of these parties he should furnish some fact associating the birth of this sister Ann with that of their oldest child by which he has been enabled to retain the period of that event in his recollection.

Sir,
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter covering additional evidence in the case of Lucinda Lee, widow of Elliott Lee, an Applicant for a pension under the act of July 7, 1838.
The certificate of the Clerk of Caswell County, N.C. is confined to the period between 1789 and 1793, he should have extended his search further and stated whether the record in his possession offered any evidence of the marriage of these parties at a subsequent date. It may be that it did not take place until after 1793. He should state also whether the records appear to be so regular and full as to raise a presumption against the marriage of Elliott and Lucinda Lee.
All the witnesses whose testimony has been adduced to establish the claim sign their affidavits by a cross mark. Persons who cannot write and who of course can keep no memorandum of of date cannot fix with any degree of certainty upon a particular period on which any event occurred after an elapse of more than half a century. If there be no record or documentary proof available the date of their marriage should be established by the testimony of respectable and intelligent witnesses who can refresh their recollections by reference to some memorandum made about the period of its consummation.
Hon. J.A.Woodward House of Reps.
