Declaration
In order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress of the 7th July 1838 entitled "An act granting half pay and Pensions to certain Widows"
State of New Hampshire } Sullivan ss. }
On the 18th day of January 1843 personally appeared before Oliver D. Dikeman the associate Justice of the Court of Common Pleas for said County & Sullivan Charity Warlow a resident of Coos County of Sullivan aged 74 years who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on her oath, make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the Act of Congress passed July 7, 1838 entitled "An act granting half pay and Pensions to certain Widows"
That she is the Widow of Robert Warlow who as she believes was for some length of time engaged as a private in Captain James Warlow's Company of the Massachusetts Militia in the fore part of the War of the Revolution and as she now thinks in the year 1776 but where his services were rendered and for what length of time she is unable to state but from the circumstances that soon after the passage of the Act of the 18th of March 1818 he met with the other soldiers in the vicinity to see if he was not entitled to a Pension under that act she is inclined to the opinion that he served for the space of nine months or upwards although she cannot positively.

declare nor does she know who served with him here. Thinks she has heard him say that Francis Webb was at the same time or during one of his terms of service.
She further declares that she was married to the said Robert Warlow on the 1 th day of May 1790. That her husband the aforesaid Robert Warlow died on the 15 th day of June 1823. That she was not married to him prior to his leaving the service but the marriage took place previous to the first of January, Seventeen hundred and ninetyfour. Viz. at the time above stated.

Silas Jackson on or about the 18 th of January 1843 in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress of the 7 th of July 1838 for the services of her late husband, was seen after shown me, wherein if mistake not she expressed an opinion that her husband was engaged for the space of six months or upwards as a private in Capt James Harlow's company of Massachusetts militia in 1776, I was myself engaged in service through the whole of the year 1776 being at the time a resident of Kingston Mass. adjoining the town of Plympton the then place of residence of Capt James Harlow and the said Robert Harlow and was considerably than both acquainted with them both, and well recollect of the seeing the said Robert Harlow in service as a private in said Capt James Harlow's company at New York in the summer of 1776 but for what length of time he served at that time I am unable to state but am strongly impressed with the belief that that was a five months term but might have for the space been of six months duration. Of the several other terms of service afterward performed by the said Robert I can give no definite account not having been an actor with him at any time after the summer of 1776.

She prays that the amount now received by her may be in- creased by act of Congress to a full Pension, to take date from the same time of the old Soldiers Pensions, or such other date as in your wisdom may seem meet. And as in duty bound will ever pray.

(Your letter on the subject of the claims of Chanty Harlow @ Molly Suther of N.H. dated Aug 26. has been recd.
There are no records in the Sec. of State Office showing the length of Capt Harlow's service in N.Y. in 1776. I will therefore accept an allowance for 5 mos for that term.
You will please to send me a certificate for Mrs Harlow, @ also for Mrs Suther for the 8 mos in 1775, that being the only known proven
Yours Respectfully H. H. Sutherland

Agreeably to your advice I have drawn Mrs Harlow's money at the rate of $27.55 and since taken and herewith send you her supplemental declaration wherein she claims for 5 mo in 1776 8 mo or upwards in 1777 & 8 mo or upwards in 1778 for which I hope and trust you will obtain the allowances. And if at all, it should be done before the issuing a certificate under the Act of the 3 rd Mar 43 her declaration for which is now forwarded to you.
Very truly Your O bl Serv t

Meriden N.H. August 5, 1867
Sir,
On the 6th July ult. I wrote our U.S. Senator Hon A. H. Cragin then in Congress, relative to the claim of Charity Harlow for increase of her Pension under the provisions of the Act of Congress of 18th February 1867. In reply he informed me that you had then your decision in that and similar cases under revision and perhaps you would make it include the case of Mrs Harlow.
Mr Cragin now writes me from home (Lebanon) that when he left Washington you had not fully decided in the matter of the law which increased the Pension of Mrs Harlow.
Soon as your decision is made please make it known to me. So doing much oblige Mrs Harlow and Your Obt. Servt. George Bryant
Hon. Joseph H. Barrett, Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D.C.

Meriden N.H. Oct. 26 1867.
Sir
Your letter of the 16th inst. informing me that the claim of Mrs Harlow under the joint Resolution passed by Congress Feb. 18. 1867 can now be made was duly received.
Herewith please find Mrs Harlow's Declaration claim for Increase or Addition and her former Certificate surrendered.
The claims under the joint Resolution aforesaid I trust cannot be very numerous.
The claim of Mrs Harlow is rather an urgent one. She is now since the 12th Sept. ult. in her one hundredth year , past labor, nearly blind and very poor; it would be a relief to her if her claim could be one of the first to be settled and a new certificate issued .
In behalf of Mrs Harlow please let me hear from you soon as may be.
Very Respectfully your Ob. Servt.
George Bryant.
