Personally appeared before me two justices of the peace in and for said county William Hinds and Elijah Hinds, sons of Sarah Hinds and James Hinds deceased, being first duly sworn according to law, state that the present family Bible, was bought by their father James Hinds, shortly before he died, not more than three or four months, owing to the fact that the old family Bible was worn out and falling to pieces, and deponents further state that their father James Hinds took the old Bible and the then new one and went to a near neighbor, a brother member of the same church by the name of David Cassity, who drew off and copied from the old Bible into the new one (the present family Bible) the ages of all the children, from which we derive all information of our ages. Deponents further state David Cassity is dead and there is no other person living except the members of the family who can testify to the above facts -

She further declares that she was married to her late husband James Hinds in the State of Virginia in the year 1788 as will more fully appear in evidence from record. And she further states that her late husband the aforesaid James Hinds died on the fourth day of February 1830 and that she has not married since and still remains his widow as will more fully appear by the proof heretofore annexed.

Ninety-sea dollars per year which will fully appear by reference to files in the Pension Office And she further states that the Certificate by which he drew his stipend could not be embodied in this my applica- tion owing to the fact that at the time of making the last draw after the death of my husband James Hinds the certificate was demanded by the officers of the Bank and was given up to said Agent or Bank officer There being no documentary evidence in my poss- =ession left except if there be any, an old copy of Inventory of my late husband James Hinds dated 2 nd April 1825 which is executed by the clerk of our said County Court of Bath County which I herunto attach

OATH OF ALLEGIANCE.
This oath is required from pensioners once, (on the first payment to new ones,) who are native-born, or have been naturalized. If a ward, from the guardian, and whenever there is a change of guardian; if dead, from the person or persons executing the vouchers. When those of foreign birth have not resided in the United States, the magistrate may certify to the same; but if they have, and do not owe allegiance, it should be properly explained. When a pension has been increased, and the oath has been previously furnished, it will not be required again of the pensioner.
I, Sarah Hinds a pensioner of the United States, do solemnly swear that I will support, protect, and defend the Constitution and Government of the United States against all enemies, whether domestic or foreign, and that I will bear true faith, allegiance, and loyalty to the same, any ordinance, resolution, or law of any State Convention or Legislature to the contrary notwithstanding; and, further, that I do this with a full determination, pledge, and purpose, without any mental reservation or evasion whatsoever; and, further, that I will well and faithfully perform all the duties which may be required of me by law: So help me God.

Dear Sir,
In reply to Mr. Sacy's inquiries concerning Mr. Hind's pension, I have to say, that the last installment drawn by me was from 4 Sept, 1861, to 4 March, 1862. This I find by reference to my books, and to be certain there might be no mistake about it I have inquired at the Pension agents' office, and find there is due her, the pension ($96 per annum) from 4 th March, 1862, to 4 March, 1864.
As a portion of this has been due and unpaid over 14 months, it must be applied for (the whole amount) at the Treasury. In making up the voucher Mr. Sacy had better have some one in Bath made attorney, by whom the voucher should be sent directly to the Third Auditor of the Treasury, requesting him to remit for it.
Having moved to the country, I have discontinued acting as attorney for the Pensioner. If any one here be desired to act, I would mention Mr. Henry C. Courtney, as very way reliable.
Respectfully J H Rhorer

He was allowed pension on his application executed July 10, 1818 while a resident of Bath County, Kentucky aged sixty-eight years. He died February 4, 1830.

§ .....
(H of)

As acts of Congress provide for the termination of a widow's pension by remarriage, and prohibit the pledging or transfer of a pension certificate, the magistrate must require the pensioner to show the latter and compare it with the copy herein before certifying; also, to inquire of a widow or mother if she has remarried; and of the latter, if she is still dependent on her pension for support. Vouchers must be executed on or after the date to which the payment is claimed, and the deposition and power of attorney signed by the pensioner. Erasures and interlineations must be noted by the magistrate, and the power of attorney, as well as all signatures by a mark, executed in presence of at least one witness other than the officer before whom acknowledged. If the power of attorney is not presented within three months from its date, a new one will be required. When a notary public uses a regular seal, a certificate of his official character is not necessary, but a commissioner of deeds must furnish it; and all vouchers executed in a foreign country before a United States consul, or having his certificate of the official character of a foreign magistrate, are sufficient. Each pensioner, or his attorney, must present himself at the agency to receive the money and to sign the receipts. Pension agents are authorized to administer oaths for payment of pensions only, and to charge the same fees allowed to officers in the State.
When a pension is terminated by death, marriage, expiration, or re-enlistments, the arrears due are payable on demand, by surrendering the pension certificate; and when a male pensioner dies, the arrears due are payable to the widow only, if alive; if not, then they go to his children. If no widow or children, the arrears should be paid to an administrator, with proof that he is an interested party, or that he was appointed at the request of the children or heirs. If an army pension remains unclaimed for fourteen months, application must be made to the Third Auditor, with the usual deposition of the pensioner and proof of identity.
The post office address of the pensioner will be required underneath his or her signature to the deposition, with the name and number of the street, if any, where living.

Personally appeared before me one of the Justices of the Peace in and for said County and State Hannah Montjoy. Now in her sixty sixth year of her age and first being duly sworn according law states that she was born and raised in the state of Virginia and that she is the own sister to Mrs Sarah Hinds who applies to the officers of Government for a Pension. She further states she is the youngest Child of Father & Mother and the tenth Child and was quite young when her sister Sarah was married to James Hinds, I now think according to the best of my recollection about seven years old. I therefore cannot state particularly the date of their marriage but that they were married about or at the time set forth by my sister in her declaration in the year 1788. She further states that James Hinds and Sarah Hinds settled a neighbor to my Father and resided in Virginia until the year 1805 and about that time my Father and family James Hinds and family left Virginia and moved in company to Kentucky, and have lived in the counties of Montgomery and Bath from that time to this date. I further state in the two families have always lived neighbors and still do. James Hinds and my sister Sarah had four children before they left Virginia the oldest was born near my Father and is now fifty nine years of age and they have raised a family of ten children and lived together from the date of marriage in a respectable and parent like manner to the date of Hinds' death. I have known the family from my earliest recollection to this day and state my sister youngest child is now

a Man having a Family of Children and is about twenty seven years old I was too young to positively swear to the Marriage of My Sister but have full confidence in the Marriage having taken place as fully and as legally as any Marriage in Virginia and at the date set forth by My Sister Sarah Hind in her application her Hannah Montjoy mark

Statement made by his widow Sarah Hind I would fully rely on for true as she has always been unimpeachable for honesty and integrity and as such she stands in this County

OATH OF ALLEGIANCE.
This oath is required from pensioners once, (on the first payment to new ones,) who are native-born, or have been naturalized. If a ward, from the guardian, and whenever there is a change of guardian; if dead, from the person or persons executing the vouchers. When those of foreign birth have not resided in the United States, the magistrate may certify to the same; but if they have, and do not owe allegiance, it should be properly explained. When a pension has been increased, and the oath has been previously furnished, it will not be required again of the pensioner.
I, B. D. Lacy, Adm d of Sarah Hays a pensioner of the United States, do solemnly swear that I will support, protect, and defend the Constitution and Government of the United States against all enemies, whether domestic or foreign, and that I will bear true faith, allegiance, and loyalty to the same, any ordinance, resolution, or law of any State Convention or Legislature to the contrary notwithstanding; and, further, that I do this with a full determination, pledge, and purpose, without any mental reservation or evasion whatsoever; and, further, that I will well and faithfully perform all the duties which may be required of me by law: So help me God.

Yours of the 17 th of February last has been received and should have received an earlier answer had it not been overlooked in the hurry of business.
I have examined the register of marriages in my Office from the commencement in 1782 to 1795 and do not find any record of the marriage of James Atkins and Sarah Prichard. The marriage may however have taken place as the old ledger states as the Minister now are, and I presume there were very negligent in making returns of marriages. The books taken when the licenses issued in those days are nearly all missing. In the absence of record evidence I presume proof of their having lived together as man & wife and been so respected and received by the community in which they resided will be sufficient to satisfy the Department.
Yours Obey

I have no record of the No of the Claim I sent you the only one I had in the com- munication of July 74 My recollection is all I have to rely on and my best impression is that the No is 46 but of this I am not sure The date of Sarah Hends Pension certificate is dated 22 nd Dec 1854 signed by R. McClelland Sec of Interior and attested by L. P. Waldo Comm r of Pensions - I have several copies of the original certificate & in class and which I am inclined to think is the last time I can say Mr Hends It is included in her affidavit I hope this will do for the present

This is a claim by Elijah Hinds for taking care of Sarah Hinds
Sarah Hinds was a pensioner of the United States. She was the widow of James Hinds who was also a pensioner of the United States
James Hinds was a soldier in the Revolutionary War and died many years ago
Sarah Hinds his widow was then put upon the Pension Roll in accordance with the act of Congress of Feb 2 nd 1848
Her pension certificate has been filed by me as her Agent and an application to obtain arrears of pension

due her at her death which occurred in 1863 or 64 (I do not recollect)
The Pension certificate a copy of which I have is dated August 13 th 1849 but it is not an official copy

Com d of Pensions Yours of is at hand
And Mr Stevens has presented me with an account against Sarah Hinds for $20 for furnal expenses It is proved according to the Statutes of Kentucky I have not paid it & can not initiate to receive the arrears of pension and Sarah Hinds - Your say such matters will be paid but require the "Original Receipted Bills"
Do you mean I must pay it as I desire on her sent you Mr Stevens a receipted bill - Will be Mr Stevens to give him a receipt it and it to you if you say you will pay it

This is a hard case and the parties who took care of Old Mrs. Hinds as I knew she was extremely deaf could not speak so as be understood, could see, and about the only way we communicated with her in order to get her affidavit was by signs and writing to her her pension certificate - she understood what we wanted and knew what she has to do for a long acquaintance with the manner of doing it in order to get her pension
She was so feeble from old age that she had to be helped out of bed to her bed - Had to be waited on like an infant
This is a case where the A.D. had applied

for the arrears of pay before the passage of the act you refer to cutting off arrears of pension interest for at periods of last illness and burial & in faults under 16 years
Can you not pay it under that state of law? Could the late act apply to a case where the application has been made anterior to the passage of the
shall like you to consider the propriety of having the opinion of the Department thereon
In the event it can not be paid I believe I will try our member to get a bill pay the arrears in Mr. Hinds case
I know that the reason why Roland Hinds would not

authenticate the papers I sent to him at several times was that he believed his creditors would attach the money coming to him
