We John Peters and William F. Chambers residents of the County and State aforesaid, upon our oaths declare that the foregoing declaration was signed and acknowledged by the above Elizabeth Hull , in our presence; and that we believe, from the appearance and statements of the applicant, that she is the identical person she represents herself to be.
And we further declare that we were well acquainted with the said Henry Hull and Elizabeth Hull his wife (now the widow) during the life time of the former, and knew them to live together as husband and wife, and to have been so generally reputed. That her said husband, the said Henry Hull died at Giles County Virginia on the 16 th day of September 1835, and that she is still a widow; and that they have no interest in this claim.
John Peters [SEAL.] Wm F Chambers [SEAL.]
* If no public or private record of the marriage exists, or can be procured, state the fact in the declaration, after the word widow; and in such case, such other evidence, such as the testimony of persons who knew the parties in the lifetime of the husband, and knew them to live together as husband and wife, and to be so reputed, will be admissible. If a public or private record exist, an authenticated copy thereof must be furnished; if it be a private record, the authenticated copy thereof must be accompanied with the affidavit of some disinterested person, proving the genuineness of the original, and that the copy certified is a true and correct copy of it. A certificate from the clergyman or magistrate who solemnized the marriage is not competent evidence, unless the genuineness of the certificate be proved, and the person who gave it be shown to have been authorized to solemnize marriages.

The foregoing declaration and affidavit were sworn to and subscribed before me on the day and year above written; and I certify that I know the affiants to be credible persons; that the Claimant is the person she represents herself to be, and that I have no interest in this claim.
