She has no means of stating said service more fully, except by reference to her husband's declaration, & evidence, filed as hereinafter stated.

She further on oath declares that the said George Coffin during his lifetime was a Pensioner of the United States, under act of Congress of the 7 th June 1832, at the rate of eighty dollars per annum, commencing 4 th March 1831, and payable at the Massachusetts Agency, in Boston; and she hereby refers to the evidence of service of the said George Coffin, filed in the application for a pension upon which she received a Certificate as a Pensioner, bearing date November 14. 1832, signed by "John Robb, acting Secretary of War", examined & countersigned by "J. S. Edwards" & recorded in Book D. Vol. 2 nd Page 43: as appears by the original Certificate now in her possession.
She further declares that she was married to the said George Coffin, on the thirteenth (13 th ) day of August, A. D. eighteen hundred and thirty five (1835); that her said husband died on the fourteenth day of September A. D. eighteen hundred and fifty two (1852); that she was not married to him prior to the second of January eighteen hundred, but at the time above stated. She

further states, that she does not know of any public record of their marriage, although their intention of marriage was duly entered & recorded. The minister who married them not being the regular pastor, at Windham Hills, where they were married, neglected to make return. She is not aware of any private record, unless one may be found after this declaration is made; and she adds the above statement, to explain the absence of a copy of marriage record, in this application. She

further declares that she is now a widow. She requests the Hon- Commissioner of Probate to forward the certificate to which she may be entitled to Mrs S. Barton Esq of Worcester, Massachusetts; interest of nine lines being first added. Dolly Coffin
