Sir,
The papers in the case of Mrs Nancy Cannmack widow of John Cannmack decd, have been filed with suspended cases. It is alleged that she served in the Virginia line for a term of three years. No is name is not found on the records in this office Application should be made to the Auditor of Virginia at Richmond for such proof of the record in his office as afforded, and the applicant should set forth in her declaration the captain and Colonel under whom the service was performed as the regulations require. If no such records proof can be had, the service should be proved by witnesses from personal knowledge who should state the time and manner of entering the service and the time and manner of leaving it, and the regt

company in which the senior was preferred. Her husband was living in 1835. Why did she never apply for a pension.
