Open

She further declares that she was married to the said Daniel Curtis before the commencement of the Revolutionary War the day and year she cannot state owing to the failure of her memory but well remembers that her first child was born eighteen months or two years before the War commenced and her second child about the time of her husband's first enlistment that her husband the aforesaid Daniel Curtis died on the 27th of June 1827 and that she has remained a widow ever since that period as will now fully appear by the proof herunto annexed. Sworn to & subscribed before me on the day and year first above written and I hereby certify the said Mary Curtis to be a credible person and that she is unable from bodily infirmity to appear in open court
