That she is the Widow of Josiah Chandler who was born in Henry County Virginia on the 12th day of July 1762. The said Josiah Chandler her husband was a soldier of the Revolution he entered the Revolutionary service in the year 1778 or 1779 as well as she is able to ascertain at this distant day in the company commanded by Captain William Levan of Wilks County North Carolina to which county her said husband had moved with his Father and was attached to the Regiment commanded by Col. Charles Cleveland of the North Carolina line. He was a volunteer and was in active service for ten months he was at the Battle of Ramsour's Mills and the Battle of Kings Mountain . He also served

a 200 1/2 days tour under the command of Captain John Sheff against the Indians in the year 1782 as will appear by a paper writing found amongst the papers of her said husband. This discharged has been lost or mislaid - Deponent does not know that she can prove the services of her husband by any other persons than by the testimony of William Eddings and Rebecca Eddings. She further declares that she was married to the said Josiah Chandler on the 26th day of August 1784. and that her husband the said Josiah Chandler died on the 22 day of October 1827 in the County of Wilson where he resided that she was not married to him prior to his leaving the service but the marriage took place previous to the first of January seventeen hundred and twenty four.
