Dear Sir:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W.9750, it appears that Daniel Britton (the name also appears as Britain) while residing at Elizabethtown, New Jersey, enlisted, date not shown, served seven years, was in the battles of Trenton and Monmouth, and was discharged June 5, 1783. The names of his officers do not appear.
He died in the spring of 1802 or September 17, 1803.
He married January 22, 1792, about four miles from Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, Catharine or Charlotte Teeter or Tetter. They were both then of the State of Pennsylvania.
She was allowed pension on her application executed February 10, 1840, at which time she was aged seventy-five years and resided at Pleasant Garden, Putnam County, Indiana. In 1841, she was a resident of Vigo County, Indiana.
It is stated that Daniel and Charlotte Britton were the parents of five children, only names given are John Britain, born November 9, 1792, and in 1841, residing in Terre Haute, Vigo County, Indiana, and Charlotte, wife of Benjamin Egbert, who was aged forty years in 1841, and resided in Putnam County, Indiana.
Very truly yours
EARL D. CHURCH Commissioner.

I John Britton being duly sworn on oath State that I am acquainted with Charlotte Britton. that she is now living in the county of Vigo & State of Indiana and is reputed to be Seventy Six years of age. She is the widow of Daniel Britton deceased. who was a soldier in the revolu- tionary war with Great Britain. This affiant states that she has seen the discharge of said Daniel Britton as a soldier in said war. & that the same has been forwarded to Washington City. will probably be found among the papers of Charlotte Britton in her application for a pension. This affiant states that from an examination records kept in the family of said Daniel & Charlotte. (which this affiant believes were correct.) that they the said Daniel & Charlotte. were married. between the 25 th & 31 st day of December Seventeen hundred ninety one (1791). During the holidays of that year. that this affiant was born on the 9 th of November Seventeen hundred ninety two. (1792) and was baptised. in the Dutch Presbyterian Church. in Northampton County (I think), in the State of Pennsylvania. as the natural son of the said Daniel & Charlotte by the name of John Britton. The date of the record of my Baptism I do not recollect. But think that it took place about a year after my birth This record was given by said Church and was on gilt paper. and from frequent handling said record has been wholly worn out. This affiant states that he has always been reputed by the family to have been born on that day. & that he has never heard or known anything to the contrary. This affiant fur.

the States. That his father Daniel Britton died in the Spring of the year 1802, at which time this affiant was reputed to be ten years of age. This affiant States that he confidently believes that said marriage took place a- bout the time herein stated-

The affidavit of John Britton in the case of his mother Mrs. Charlotte Britton, widow of Daniel Britton, decd. had been examined and filed with her other papers. He testifies to having seen a record of his age, showing his birth to have been in 1792. His testimony is not sufficient, unless supported by the exhibition of the record alluded to.
The proof of the period of the marriage is still insufficient. The testimony of at least one witness should be produced who had a personal knowledge of the marriage or who knew the claimant to have been a married woman previous to A.D. January 1794. The witness should state particularly from what circumstances he or she is enabled to determine the period of the marriage.

In reply to your letter of the 2 nd inst in the case of Charlotte Britton widow of Daniel Britton whose pension certificate was recently issued to you by the office I have to inform you that she made her declaration in Putnam Co. Ind, and at that time lived at Pleasant Garden. Some additional evidence was exhibited by you on the 28 th June 1841, and the last evidence was sent here from Pennsylvania, at which time it was stated that she lived at Terre Haute, Ind a . She has a son named John Britton living in Vigo Co  and a married daughter the wife of Benjamin Egbert . Some testimony was exhibited by J. H. Clarke Esq of Manhattan, and Hon. J. W.

The affidavits of Mrs. Charlotte Britton and the of her daughter Mrs. Charlotte Egbert in the case of the former has been examined and filed with her other papers. The testimony is not sufficient. Mrs. Tackett in her affidavit states her testimony exhibited states that she was present at the marriage which took place about forty six years ago. If the marriage took place fifty two years ago as stated by the claimant, the fact should be fully proved established. If Mrs. Tackett was mistaken as to the period she should make an amended statement and set forth explicitly from what circumstances she is enabled to determine the period of the marriage. If possible the testimony of at least one other witness should be produced who had a personal knowledge of the marriage or who knew the claimant to have been a married woman previous to 1 st January 1794.
