Before me a Justice of the Peace in & for said County personally came Thomas B. Belby of lawful age and a Resident of Paris in said County and State. who deposes and says I was acquainted with Donah Carter for a period of 3 or 4 years next preceding his Death which transpired on or about the middle of the month of February A.D. 1839. I was also acquainted with his wife Tempe Carter I know not the fact personally but have been told that previous to her marriage with said Donah Carter she was a widow by the name of Allen. I am not able to state the time when Donah Carter & Tempe were married I can state however that they were reputed to be Husband & wife. That they lived together as such and I have never heard the fact of their marriage questioned. I have been told that after the Death of Donah Carter said Tempe married a man by the name of Herman Baglow Before moving to Paris Portage County Ohio said Donah Carter drew his pension money from some Agency in N.Y. After he came to this County I was appointed Guardian for him he being insane and incompetent to do

any kind of business as such Guardian I kept his papers Drew his pension money for him and transacted all business with which he was connected. He had papers showing himself to be a Revolutionary Soldier. And a Certificate showing himself to be a pension- er as such. After my appointment I drew his pension for him till the time of his death from the pension Agency at Pittsburgh. It is my impression that I left the Pension Certificate of said Thomas Coater with other papers at the Agency in Pittsburgh I have no interest whatsoever in the claim of Temple Barlow for a pension.

Joseph H. Barrett Esq. Washington City
Dear Sir: Enclosed you will find Application of Mrs. Tempra Barlow for pension on account of her husband Jonah Carter a Revolutionary Soldier.
The reason why the Affidavit is sworn to before a Justice of the Peace and not a Judge of Court, is, that Mrs. Barlow is so old and infirm that she was not, and is not now able to go before a Judge of Court to make affidavit. You will see by the application that she is about 80 years of old.
You will also see that she directs all letters sent to Henry O. Carter a Merchant in Granville Licking

County Ohio, he attends to the matter- for her free of charge, he is not a claim Agent, I am directed to write this letter for Mrs. Baslow.
Enclosed you will also find letter from paying pension Agent at Pittsburgh Pa, in reply to one I wrote to him by direction of Mrs. Baslow.
