===================================

Mary Parker (James, --) Mary (Parker) Megowan gave a statement 10 Dec 1838 to obtain a pension for Robert Megowan's services during the Revolutionary War. She tells many details of his service and their life together. They were engaged for 4 years before finally marrying in 17 80 in Philadelphia Co., PA. Robert Megowan had lived with the Parker family for several years before the war broke out (2 1/2 miles from Valley Forge, PA). Mary (Parker) Megowans' parents were opposed to the marriage, so Mary, Robert, William Parker (Ma ry's brother)and several of their friends travelled to a tavern, where they were married by Rev. Mr. Muhlenburgh. After they were married, they all returned to the Parker house for supper. Mary (Parker) Megowan received $480.00 per year pension for Robe rt Megowan's services during the Revolutionary War. She also testified on her brother John Parker's pension application - Mary Megowan, about 75 years of age and sister of the said John Parker states upon oath that she well remembers the time her brother went to Virginia to her uncle Todds, and that she heard her father say he joined the army. Soon after her brothers return, she heard of his appointment as Captain of artifices, and of his being engaged upon the erecting of the two forst on the Delaware. This she heard at the time from her brother and also her late husband who succeeded her brother in that command. She was not then married. These cirscumstances were matter of conversation in the family and well known to all. She does not know anything of her services as waggonmaster in Virginia. She signed her deposition clearly, Mary Megowan.
