On this the 14 th day of September 1847 personally appeared before the subscriber, a justice of the peace in and for said county, Alexander Cox, a resident thereof, who being first duly sworn according to law doth depose and say that he is the son of Captain William Cox and his wife Mary Cox, the former an officer in the Revolutionary War and in his life time a resident of Mifflin Co. Penn s . That said Mary the deponent's mother recently died in Juniata County Pennsylvania. That the deponent emigrated to the Western Country in the year 1821. He further says that the accompanying paper purporting to be a family record, indicating the birth of "Alexander Cox", this deponent on the "7 th of September 1777" that of his wife Elizabeth Cox on the "27 th of March 1775", and his marriage on the "24 th of December 1799", followed by the dates of the births of his children, is the family record of this deponent the date of deponent's birth as it appears therein having been copied by him from the family record of his father, the said Captain Cox on a blank leaf of an old Bible about thirty-five years ago and brought with him to the west.
He further says that the record from which the date of this deponent's birth was taken was

always recognized and treated by the family of said Captain Cox as his family record it having been contained in an old Bible. He further says that he is the oldest child of Captain Cox and his wife Mary whose children have applied for the pension due her in her life time and that his brother William Cox who now resides in Juniata County Penna is the next oldest of the children said William being always reputed about eighteen months younger than the deponent and that the accompanying family record is the Rutledge paper to which this deponent has always looked for the true date of his birth and that from that date, the 7th of September 1777 the family of said Captain Cox always obtained their knowledge of the deponent's age.

Memorandum for the Hon. S. Cameron.
It will appear from the accompanying records of the board of Inquiry of Penna that Wm Cox was admitted to a pension of $120 per annum in Feby 1815, and by the extract from the laws of Penna, that the board a full one at the time, was composed of the Secretary of the Commonwealth, Auditor Gen, and State Treasurer with power to grant one fourth pay to poor, and disabled officers, who served in the "Pennsylvania Line" The record briefly asserts, that Capt Cox "served" when he applied for a State pension under this law, - that he served until some time in 1778, and left the service as a supernumerary officer, with many other officers. Some of the papers already presented agree with this statement.
The accompanying certified copy of a note addressed to John Nicholson calling for the settlement of accounts, and other accounts dated Greenwood Cumberland County May 1. 1784, signed Wm Cox Capt 10th P. Battery, seems to indicate that he was at Greenwood at that time.
The affidavit of John Skelly executed in 1814, which accompanies this declaration of Capt Cox states that he was of Greenwood Township and a "Captain in the revolutionary army".
The affidavit of Edward Bird heretofore presented sets forth, that he personally knew Capt Cox in the army, that he served in the same regt with him, the 10th - that he saw him several times weekly perform his duties as Capt, while in the regt. That he knew him after the war, and knew his widow, until they both died, & that that the applicants were their children. He also states that Capt Cox resided in Greenwood Township formerly Cumberland County, afterwards part of Mifflin Co, and now part of Juniata County.
Several old papers found among the papers of Capt Cox which have

files, indicate that Capt Cox at an early period lived in Greenwood Township, and all the papers executed in support of the claim gave that place as the residence of Capt Cox and his family.
Accompanying this, are extracts from several deeds, executed by William Cox, and Mary his wife of Greenwood Middle County in 1790-1791.
It does not appear that a judge of the Court, or a member of Congress ever had any official connection with the case, nor can the testimony of either be presented, but the accompanying affidavit of David Hulings Esq, once a member of the legislature of Penna, will show that Mary Cox, was the widow of Capt Cox who obtained a state pension.
The accompanying petition of Mary Cox drawn in 1826 describes her as the widow of Capt Wm Cox an officer of the Revolution.
The Copies of vouchers upon which Mary Cox was paid her state pension, also describes her as the widow of Capt Cox an officer, and in both the cases of Capt Cox, and his widow, they are in part drawn payable to, and witnessed by Paul Cox, William Cox, and John W Cox, named in the declaration as the children of the widow - evidently the same family.
As has been already stated in the declaration of Wm Cox, no public record of the marriage can be found, and as stated in the affidavit of the same person executed March 1, 1848, can the original family record of Capt Cox be discovered or a living witness be produced to prove the marriage.
The family record of Abraham Cox - a son of the parties has been presented showing that he was born in Sept 1777.

and the affidavits of Capt Bird, Wm Cox, and Wm Castle, with the certificate of the pastor attached to that of Wm Cox, states that Alexander Cox was the oldest of the children, and now a man twenty years of age or upwards, and the accompanying records of Wm Cox, and Paul Cox, the first identified by him his own affidavit, and the certificate of the pastor, two other sons of Capt Cox, and his wife, state that they were born in 1779 and in 1781.
The accompanying publication certificate of Mary Cox sets forth that she was married in 1769.
This accumulation of family records, of the births of several sons supported by their own, and other affidavits, will make it evident that the parties had been married at a very early period.
The accompanying affidavit of the undertaker sets forth that Mary Cox died on the 10th of July 1844 - that no clergyman officiated at the funeral, that she was far advanced in years, and died from old age, the testimony of a clergyman as to the day of her death cannot therefore be furnished, nor can the evidence of a physician be produced, as she died from old age, and no medical attendance was rendered.
The testimony of Pastor Reed, who made the grave and otherwise assisted at the burial gives the 10th of July 1844, as the day of her death and Wm Castle who was present at the funeral also testifies to that day, and the accompanying certificate from the Andover Genl office shows that Mary Cox drew her state pension until July 1 1844.
The testimony of these persons is all the evidence which can be furnished as to the particular day of Mrs Cox's death.

That said Capt Box during the Revolutionary war resided in Cumberland County, Penna, at the time of his death in Mifflin County in Greenwood township - said Greenwood having by the division of Cumberland and become part of Mifflin, and afterwards by further division part of Juniata County.
That the accompanying old paper found among some other old papers left at the time of his death [of his death] will show the residence of said Capt Box in Cumberland and Mifflin Counties in Greenwood aforesaid, and that the paper purporting to be an order for the pension due him was also then found for some reason deponent does not know why it was not used.

That diligent search has been made to discover the family record of said Capt Box and his wife Mary without success, he believes it has been lost, nor can he discover any public record by which the marriage can be made evident, nor does he know of any living witness.
Deponent further says that Alexander Box whose family record has been already presented was the eldest of the children of said Capt Box and his wife Mary, always considered and treated so by the family - now upwards of seventy years of age, and nearly eighteen months older than this deponent.

of his age as contained in his family record made by deponent many years ago.
"William Cox born April 17 th 1779."
