Folks are free to make non-commercial use this transcript in any manner they may see fit, but please extend the courtesy of acknowledging the transcriber—besides, if it turns out the transcript contains mistakes, the resulting embarrassment will fall on the transcriber. I use speech recognition software to make all my transcriptions. Such software misinterprets my southern accent with unfortunate regularity and my poor proofreading fails to catch all misinterpretations. I welcome and encourage folks to call those errors to my attention.]

State of Tennessee Sullivan County: On this 24th day of May 1855, before me an acting Justice of the Peace in and for said County, personally came Catharine Weaver, aged 96 years, a resident of the said County, and made oath in due form of law that she is the widow of Frederick Weaver, deceased, who was a soldier of the Revolutionary War, in Captain John Pemberton's Company & in Colonel Isaac Shelby's Regiment of volunteers, as well as she can now recollect, or ascertained; that she does not now recollect, or can learn, any of the particulars of the said service, save that he was out in the year 1780, and was present at the battle of King's Mountain, in South Carolina; -- & that she cannot state whether, or not, there is any public, or other record evidence of her said husband's service in existence, or not. She has no written discharge, or other papers concerning the same in her possession, or in her knowledge.

She states further that she was married to the said Frederick Weaver in said County on the 15th day of August 1782, by the Reverend Mr. Doak, a minister of the Gospel; that her name prior thereto, was Catherine Peters; that her said husband died in said County on the 26th day of May 1839; since which time she has remained a widow -- as may be seen from the proofs hereto annexed.

She makes this declaration in order to obtain the land Bounty which may be due her under act 3rd March 1855, & that this is her first application ever made either by herself or her said husband for land Bounty under any act of Congress whatever: and that there is not to her knowledge a public record thereof in existence.

S/ Catharine Weaver, X her mark
