He often stated to her in his life time that he was in actual service a considerable length of time, was engaged in many Battles and the officers under whom he served and the different places to which he was marched and was stationed during his service, and distinctly recollects his speaking of Thos Young as his Captain; but from bodily infirmity old age and the consequent loss of memory she can not at this time state the particulars and therefore prefers to rely on the Public

and the statements of those who served with him, whom affidavits accompany her Declaration; That for similar reasons she cannot state precisely how long he was in actual service, also gitting but believe he enlisted for three years; for which length of time she claims a pension.
She further declares that she was married to the said John Baskerville on the 25 th day of December 1782. That her husband on the aforesaid John Baskerville at Newbern died, the day of June 1832.
