Mary Hatcher's Declaration
1846 Sept. 14 th
Approved and certified

State of Virginia. County of Chesterfield ss:
On this the fourteenth day of May 1846 before me — Benjamin L. Lundie — a Justice of the peace in and for the County and State aforesaid, personally appeared Mrs Mary Hatcher a resident of the County and State aforesaid aged Eighty Six years, who first being 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 th 1838. That she is the widow of Daniel Hatcher deceased, who was an Officer in the war of the Revolution and who died in the County of Chesterfield in the year 1828. She is unable to set forth any particulars in relation to the duration of her deceased husband's service, nor can she say, what officers he was under at any time, but she verily believes that he served in the regular Army some five or six years, that she has frequently heard him say, that he was at one time to the North and then again at the South and that he was both in and out of the State of Virginia, and that there are two places she has often heard him speak of having been in service, to wit: Cowpens and Brandywine the latter place she will ever remember from the fact that her husband the said Daniel Hatcher was wounded there whilst in an engagement that her husband had applications (before his death) made to him by persons who proposed to get a pension for him or shares, and he invariably refused stating that he preferred his

his country's having all that was due him to giving half to a person to get it for him, and that he did not care for a pension as long as he was able to support himself without it. That she was married to the said Daniel Hatcher in the County of Chesterfield and State of Virginia by Pastor Andrew Syme about the year seventeen hundred and eighty eight, and that her husband died in the month of September 1828 and that she has remained a widow ever since that period as will more fully appear by reference to the proof hereto annexed.

I further certify that Mrs Mary Hatcher within named (widow of Daniel Hatcher deceased who is said and believed to have been a Revolutionary Soldier) is a lady of respectability, and although I do not know, yet I have no doubt of the correctness of her within declaration that from old age &c, it would be very inconvenient for her to attend in Court. Given under my hand this 14 th day of May 1846
