Geo. Patterson & Mary Patterson were married May 23 d 1779. In Feb 1781 he entered into the Am. Army & served till the close of the war in the fall of 1783. He was a Pensioner & died in May last. His widow Mary has applied to me to assist her in obtaining a Pension, under the acts of July 4 th 1836 & of March 3 d 1837.
I had doubts as to the construction proper to be put on those acts, & I request you to inform me whether, the fact that she was not a widow at the time the acts were passed , will prevent her obtaining a pension.
Please also to inform me whether under the 2 d sec. of the act of March 3 d 1837, the applicant must have entered into the marriage contract during the very time the husband was holden to military service, or whether the section merely requires that the applicant must have been the soldier's wife during the performance of the service.
In the case of Mrs. Patterson, her husband performed military service both before & after the marriage, tho' I believe he was not in the service at the time the marriage ceremony was performed.
I remain
Respectfully Yours

Will you very kindly give me the information you possess concerning George Batterson a soldier for three years in the Revolutionary War, who afterward drew a pension, as did his wife after his death.
His home I believe was in Connecticut in or near Litchfield Co. I know nothing more about him, but his daughter Amelia Batterson married to Charles Gilbert in 1804 was my Grandmother - They were married in New Milford Litchfield Co Conn.

I wish to join the D.A.R. My great-grandfather Truman Gilbert, also from New Milford Conn., served in the Revolutionary War and lived to draw a pension but I have been unable to find the correct date of his marriage to Eunice Phippany and I do not suppose you would have that among your records - Thanking you for any information that you may give me concerning either George Batterson or Truman Gilbert Yours truly (Miss) Amelia S.
