    2. Do any of you researchers have a copy of the Widow's pension papers filed by Elizabeth Nancy Brown Truitt on behalf of her husband, Henry N. TRUITT which she filed in 1891 from Marshall County, Alabama? Henry had Volunteered at Columbus, GA 147 as Private, in Mexican Wars in 1836. Mexican War Declaration for Pension, #1785 & Widow's application for pension, #8098 He volunteered at Columbus, Georgia in Sept. 1847 as a Private, in the Georgia Infy., Col Seymoor, Commanded by Capt Hood. (He also states he served in the Indian Wars in 1836 in the Georgia Volunteers of Heard County, Georgia under Capt Wm D_____, Woods Battalion and period of services was three months. He joined the volunteers in Columbus, Georgia.) He was honorably discharged from service at Mobile, Alabama on 15 Jul 1848. In Elizabeth's widow's pension application, someone hand copied her marriage certificate and it is in the file. The official marriage date is 9 Oct 1831 in Hamilton, Harris County, Georgia, performed the Justice of the Peace Whitacker. From Dec 1891 thru Feb 1893, Elizabeth has papers being processed in order to receive her widow's pension for Henry Truitt's service in the Mexican War. She states she was born 21 Mar 1816 in Jones County, Georgia and that her maiden name was Elizabeth Brown. In Dec 1891, she is living in Hackneyville, Tallapoosa County, Alabama. If someone could share a copy it would be muchly appreciated. John Truitt
