    [There was no formal application in the file. The following letter is the only document with substantial
    information.]
    Staunton July 5th 1847
    D’r Sir [James L. Edwards, Pension Commissioner] Since the papers in the case of Elizabeth Fulton
    were sent to your office I have procured the affidavit of Andrew McClure who testifies that he was
    present at the Marriage of Andrew Fulton to Elizabeth Hall which took place in the year 1783. This was
    one year before the passage of the act of the Legislature of Va requiring bonds to be given by the
    [illegible word] obtaining marriage Lincences and requiring those who solemnise marriages to make the
    returns – you will perceive by an enumeration of the papers that the Clerk of the County Court certifies
    that there are no records running further back than 1785. I presume this will be satisfactory upon this
    because of the cause[?] – it is objected that Mrs Fulton does not state in her declaration that her husband
    served more than his Tour of duty to Guilford [possibly at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse NC, 15 Mar
    1781] – this is true and she is unable to amend her declaration her memory is so far gone she is now
    upwards of ninety that her recollection is very indistict. The only evidence she has to rely on is that of
    MCutchan who says he is satisfyed Fuller served more than one Year during the revolution.
    considering the extreme difficulty of getting proof the hard service Fulton is known to have rendered his
    wounds the necessities of his widow all I humbly conceive call for a liberal view of the case. MCutchans
    evidence is so strongly pursuasive of the fact that Fulton served long enough to entitle his widow to a
    pension that we hope it may be viewed liberaly and allowed with the total evidence we ask a revies of
    the case and to be allowed of the result at this place
    Very respectfully David S. Young
