On this 20 th day of April 1843 personally appeared before me Marshall Dickinson one of the Justices of the Peace for the County of Pitt aforesaid, Sarah Carr a resident of said County of Pitt, aged about 76 or 77, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth, on her oath, make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the Act of Congress, passed July 7, 1838, entitled an Act granting half pay and pensions to certain Widows (and any other act of Congress that may be more applicable to her case,) That she is the widow of Solomon Carr, who was a private soldier of the Revolutionary War, and was a pensioner of the United States, at the time of his death, which took place in the year 1820, and think in January - He drew his pension a few times before he died -
She further declares, that she was married to the said Solomon Carr in the Isle of Wight County, in the state of Virginia, sometime in the year 1782, but she cannot state the precise day or month, but she had a child she thinks in less than one year after her said marriage by the name of Polly, and the record of her birth, (which is annexed) states her birth

(23)
birth to be on the 21 st day of February 1783, which she believes to be correct - The record of the birth of Polly and Fanny was written by her brother Elisha Owens (now dead) in Virginia, and the record of her son John's birth was written by Henry Williamson, now dead, - That this record was this day taken from the family Bible - That she has no record of the date of her marriage with the said Solomon Carr, nor does she know of any having ever been made - She was married by a Parson, and she remembers her husband paying the Parson hard money for his fee, - does not recollect the name of the Parson, but she understood the intended marriage had been published three times before the marriage, - according to the law or the custom of that time -
She further declares that she is unable to go to the Court of the County for the purpose of making this declaration being a cripple and not having been able to move about the House for 6 or 7 years past except by the help of crutches, and is in feeble health, rendering it too dangerous to attempt being carried there -

Elias Owens, aged 85 years last January, being duly sworn according to law, states that he is the Brother of Sarah Carr, widow of Solomon Carr. That he was present at their marriage at the house of Edmund Wester, in the Isle of Wight County, in the state of Virginia, - that they were married by a Parson, whose name was John Burgep, that he saw the marriage ceremony performed, and saw the said Solomon Carr pay to the said Parson five hard Dollars for his fees. That he knows nothing about any license or record of the marriage, but he was present at Church, when the intended marriage was published the first time, and heard the Parson publish the bans. He cannot state the day, nor month, nor year, when the marriage took place, he thinks he was about 25 years old at the time, but has no means of coming any nearer to the time - He has just seen a leaf cut out of the Bible, which he believes to be the record of the births of the three Children of said Carr and his wife Sarah, but he is not now able to see it well enough to know it to be so. Before he lost his

(4.)
his sight he could read and write, and he had often seen and read the said record, and believes it a true one, that the two first childrens birth was in the hand writing of his brother Elisha Queens  Carr , who died in Virginia, and the other childs birth was in the hand writing of Henry Williamson, who died in this County -
He further states, that the said Solomon Carr in the month of January; died in the year 1820, as he thinks, that he understood that he was a pensioner of the United States at the time of his death, on account of his revolutionary services, and had drawn his money a few times, as he heard and believes -
He further states, that he is not able to attend at the Court House to give this testimony - being very infirm and poor - He cannot see well enough to write his name, but can make his mark -

Sir,
In the case of Sarah Carr , for a Pension, I forward you the depts s of Sarah Carr, Elias Owens & Samuel Vines, which are deemed sufficient to meet the objections contained in your Note of the 6. th of March last.
This woman has begged me to attend to this business for her, and to request of you to forward to my address her certificate with proper directions for obtaining her pension, or if any further objections exist that the same may be communicated to me - and as she has been long deprived by an ignorance of the law in such cases, and as I understand her to be one of the most deserving of poor women, her neighbours speaking of her character in the highest terms, I hope she will not be any further delayed in her rights - There cannot be any question of the truth of these depositions, but if your form, or the law requires the production of a record of licence of marriage, or proof of the precise day of marriage, she must fail in obtaining her right, as too long a time has elapsed to admit more precise proof, as it is probable no public record was kept in those days, and the precise date cannot be be

be obtained - I do not believe there is a man of her acquaintance, who would not believe every part of her testimony -
Very Respectfully Y. A. Tut. Marshall (Dickinson)
J. L. Edwards Esq. Court of Pennans Washington City
P.S. In behalf of this poor woman I am willing to be troublesome - Is she not entitled, besides the 5 year pension, to an additional year by act of last Congress? - I am so informed, but have not seen the act.
