Elizabeth Daniel, widow of John Daniel, late of Middlesex, and who is known to the subscribers as a lady of veracity and high standing in the community, and so generally reported to be, the day personally appeared before the subscriber a Justice of the peace for said County, and made oath that she has had inquiry made for persons who if living could prove her marriage with said John Daniel to have taken place in November (1779) as she has already stated in her declaration, but at this time no such person is living. But by way of explanation she now states that her eldest child after her marriage with said John Daniel, namely Nancy Daniel, was born in the month of Aug t in the year (1781) and that she was married one year and nine months before the birth of her said first child, to wit in the month of Nov r (1779) as she has already stated - that her said daughter is now dead - she also further states that she well remembers that her said husband after their marriage was called into service, and attended the call, and joined the militia at Gloucester Court House, and from there was marched to the army at Little York, and remained there until the capture of Cornwallis, when he returned - of this she cannot be mistaken. It was an occurrence that made a lasting impression on her mind - she hopes that some allowance will be made on account of the death of those persons who if living could prove the above facts - Mr. George Gardner, who has already proved that her said husband was in service after their marriage, she thinks is worthy of full faith although he does not know the precise period or date of the marriage. Given under my hand this 25 th day of February 1839.

Dear Sirs:-
I am endeavoring to prove my eligibility to the Daughters of the American Revolution and I am told on good authority that the wife of my ancestor John Daniel drew a pension as a widow of a Revolutionary soldier.
John Daniel , I think, enlisted from Middlesex Co. Virginia. I am told he served in the rank of captain. His wife was a Miss Street before she married. If you can furnish any record of such pension, I will appreciate it and will send the fee required, Respectfully,

Thanking you for this favor Very truly,
