Declaration.
In order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the act of Congress of the 7 th July 1838, entitled "An act granting half pay and pensions to certain widows", and the several acts, in continuation thereof.
State of South Carolina District of Union } ss.
On this nineteenth day of March 1845. Personally appeared before the Court of Ordinary for said District, Mrs Ruth Holder a resident of the same, aged eighty nine years; who being first duly sworn, according to law, doth on her oaths make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the act of Congress of the 7 th July 1838, entitled "An act granting half pay and pensions to certain widows", and the several acts, in continuation thereof. That she is the widow of Daniel Holder, who was a private in the Militia of South Carolina during the Revolutionary War, that she was not married to him until after his service, and cannot therefore tell much of it, but thinks she has heard him say he was at Gates' Defeat, and that he served in both North and South Carolina, and perhaps first entered the service in Virginia, as he formerly resided there, but as he made the necessary proof and was placed on the Pension List under the act of Congress of the 7 th June 1832, as per certificate in her possession dated 26 th January 1838, she supposes nothing more is necessary.
She further declares that she was married to the said Daniel Holder in the year Seventeen Hundred and eighty seven, either in January, or February, but she cannot recollect distinctly the precise day; the ceremony was performed by one Robert McLain Esquire in Randolph County N.C. her maiden name was Wilson. She has an old record of her marriage in the following words viz. "Daniel & Ruth Holder

was married 1787" and on the same slip of paper is recorded the births of her children, their first born as follows, viz. "Elizabeth Holder was born October the 30 th 1787" which said slip of paper containing the said record is herewith sent; and is the correct record of their family made by Daniel Holder her XXXXX  XXXXX XXXXX  XXXXX  XXXXX  XXXXX  XXXXX  XXXXX  XXXXX  XXXXX  XXXXX  XXXXX her care ever since: That her husband the aforesaid Daniel Holder died on the 23 d day of April 1843. and that she has ever since, remained a widow; 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, viz. at the time above stated.
