Ordered that it be certified that upon examination of the declaration of Mrs. Lucy Hubbard, widow of Charles Hubbard dec d who was reputed to be a private in the war of the Revolution, the said declaration was made by the said Lucy Hubbard before Charles H.

Hon: Sir
Enclosed you will receive the paper of Mrs. Lucy Bullock widow of Charles Bullock in support of her claim on the Govt for pension under the act of July 7. 1838 and an act granting half pay & pension to widows the facts contained upon this sheet are well corroborated by many citizens of this County Charles Bullock & Lucy George were married as stated by her on the 3 rd day of September 1782 they were married after the usual publication of Banns consequently the marriage was recorded in the parish Register of this County I have made diligent search for this register and from the best information which I can obtain this register is lost or destroyed to which facts this court has attested in the foregoing certificate having the County seal annexed to the original papers which have been heretofore in your dept. I have thought it unnecessary to have it again annexed if it should be required you will please enclose it to me or if you can take the trouble to call on the Hon. John Talbot Mr C from this District he will satisfy you on the subject of its authenticity & genuineness.
I have the honor to be very Respectfully Your obedt Servt

Hon. Sir:
Enclosed is further evidence in support of the claim of Lucy Hubbard widow of Charles Hubbard and who was a seaman in the Revolutionary war to a pension under the act of July 7 1838 In your last letter to me on the subject you say that the original Family Register wherein the birth of Charles is recorded which recognizes Chas & Lucy Hubbard as husband & wife should be forwarded that Register is now in my possession but is quite a large book I did not know whether or not it might be transmitted through the mail and consequently have not sent it I hope however the evidence afforded by the Certificate of John Cundiff together with the will of the late Charles will be sufficient to establish the facts required please give the matter your earliest convenient attention
