* This declaration must be accompanied by satisfactory proof of the marriage, of the husband's death, and the present widowhood of the claimant. If there be a public record of the marriage, a duly certified copy of it should be forwarded, if possible. If there be none but a private or family record, such family record, or a certified copy of the same, should be forwarded, with the affidavit of some disinterested persons proving the genuineness of the original and the correctness of the copy. If no public or private record of the marriage exist, or can be procured, that fact should be set forth in the declaration; and in such case, other evidences—such as the testimony of persons who knew the parties in the lifetime of the husband, and knew them to cohabit as husband and wife, and to be so reputed—will be admissible.
¶ In no case, however, will the mere statement of 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.

Declaration.
In order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832.
State of Virginia County of Loudoun } ss
In this 11 th day of Dec r 1832 personally appeared before me in open court, before the Court of Loudoun now sitting, Aaron Munday a resident of the County of Loudoun and State of Virginia, aged Twenty years, who being first duly sworn sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832. = That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers, and served as here stated: — He was drafted under Capt William Alexander and Lieut. Isaac Newton (since taken from King George) in Stafford County Va, sometime in Nov r or Dec r 1779, with whom he continued until June 1781, then volunteered under the same officers and served until the end of the war, when he was discharged by Major Wright at Fredericksburg, Va, which discharge he has lost. During his time of service he marched from Stafford County County (where he then resided, and where he was drafted, under the Company Officers above named, and Col t James Garrett and Major Prince who were the field Officers of the Reg t to which he was attached) to Richmond, where he rec d his winter clothing, and when, he was transferred to the command of Col t Clark and Major Southall.

During his stay in Rich mond he was for a short time under the command of Col. Tabb , Col. Dark having left Richmond, but returned soon and resumed the command. He remained in Richmond during the winter, and in the spring following marched to Petersburg, still under the command of Col. Dark and the same company officers. After a short short stay in Petersburg and vicinity he proceeded to James-Town, where he joined the command of Gen. Lafayette, and was under him during the engagement of that place. He made several excursions (under Col. Dark ) on James River, sometimes in pursuit, and at other times under retreat from the enemy; during this time he was at different periods under Majors Murry, Hardiman , and Wettch . While on these excursions his quarters were at Williamsburg & James-Town, but frequently encamped. He was at the siege of York under the command of Lafayette & Washington. He assisted in guarding the prisoners taken at York, to Winchester under the command of Major Wright, here Major Wright discharged a part of his command, and returned with the other part to Fredericksburg, where he (Monday) rec d . his clothing, and also his discharge from Major Wright, as aforesaid.
He was never in service with any Continental Reg ts or Companies, except a part of a day at James-Town, and a few days at York, and therefore can name none other of the Regular Officers, or say anything in relation to the Continental troops, with the exception of Gen. Smallwood (who he thinks was a regular Officer) he passed passed him with (with his command on his way to York) near that place. He has no documentary evidence, and knows of no person whose testimony he can procure, who can testify to his service. He was born on the 7 th day of March 1762, (as recorded in the family Bible now in his possession) in Stafford, or rather, then King George County.

where he was living when called into service. After his term of service he remained in his native county 8 or 10 years then moved to Fairfax, where he lived not quite two years, then moved to Prince William where he continued until January 1829 when he removed moved to Loudoun where he has lived ever since, and where he now lives. — He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present, and he declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of the age of any state. — Sworn and subscribed the day 14 of Dec  his Munday year aforesaid. —
We Lanford L. Rainey, John Johnson and Th. R. Saunders (residing in the County of Loudoun) hereby certify that we are well acquainted with Aaron Munday, who has subscribed and sworn to the above declaration; that we believe him to be Seventy Years of age; that he reputed and believed in the neighbourhood where he resides, to have been a soldier of the Revolution, and that we concur in that opinion. — Sworn and subscribed the day and year aforesaid. —

Th. R. Saunders
And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion after the investigation of the matter, and after putting the interrogatories prescribed by the War-Department, the above named Applicant was a revolutionary soldier, and served as he states.
