1846 Revolutionary War Widows Pension - Testimony of Elizabeth Gardner

12 August 1846, Warren County, New Jersey

In the 1840s, Elizabeth Gardner, wife of James Gardner, was trying to obtain a widow's pension. Her husband died in 1838 and had previously had a pension. In order to receive a widow's pension, she had to prove her relationship to James and prove that James served in the Revolutionary War. This required documentation and witness affidavits.

The testimony of Elizabeth Gardner, age 84, widow of James:

-She was the widow of James Gardner, who was a private teamster in the army of the Revolution.
-She married James Gardner in Warren County after his military service (she can't remember the year).
-She lived with her husband until Jun 1838.
-She has no documentary evidence of her marriage or his death.
