That she is the Widow of Josiah Handley, late of the said County and State, who was a private in the Militia and Continental service of Virginia, in the War of the Revolution— She declares, that she does not know any thing as coming within her personal knowledge, respecting the service of her late husband in the Revolutionary War, having married him after the close of the war— She recollects, that he frequently mentioned being in the Army, and serving a considerable length of time; that he was engaged in some battles, and mentioned the battles and names of officers commanding, but it has been so long back that she has forgot the particulars— She has also heard the same from others, and verily believes their statement to be correct— She, therefore, prefers relying on the statements of others, whose certificates accompany this declaration, being old and reputable soldiers, better acquainted with the facts and circumstances, than herself— That from bodily infirmity, old age and the consequent loss of memory, she cannot state ex-

how long actly he said he was in actual service altogether, but would suppose he served at least 18 months — for which length of time she claims a pension — In support of her claim, she refers also to the Army Records of the period —
She further declares that she was married to the said Josiah Hurdley by publication of banns on the 23 rd day of July, 1791; that her husband the aforesaid Josiah Hurdley died on the 11 th day of August, 1827; that she was not married to him prior to his leaving the service, but the marriage took place previous to the first day of January, Seventeen hundred and Ninety four: to wit, at the time above stated —

Dear Sir:-
I had a greatgrandfather Josiah Hurdley , whom our family tradition states was a soldier in the Revolutionary War . If so, he must have enlisted in a regiment from either Powhatan or Amelia Counties in this state. I do not know the number of the regiment. It may have been the VIII Virginia Regiment, but more probably it was a militia regiment. Is there is any record accessible to you from which you could obtain this information? I would esteem a great favor if you would be kind enough to let me know, for put me in a way of getting it myself. Thanking you for the trouble I am putting you to, I am,
