This is the beginning of one page of Rachel's pension application. State of North Carolina } County of Alamance      }ss               ON THIS   8th     day of    April    1869, personally appeared before me, a Clerk of a Court of Record in and for the County and State aforesaid Rachel WEBSTER  a resident of      ~        in County of Alamance and State of North Carolina AGED 83 YEARS, who being duly sworn, makes the following declaration, in order to obtain the Pension provided by the Act of Congress approved JULY 14, 1862. That she is the widow of Charles WEBSTER  who was a private in Company commanded by James Graham in the 3d Regiment of N Carolina Vols in the War 1812 that her maiden name was Rachel HOLT and that she was married to said Charles WEBSTER  about the year 1803, at ~ ~  in the County of Orange (Now Alamance) and State of North Carolina by Michael Holt, Esq and that she knows of no record evidence of said marriage except the license which she thinks was returned unto the County Court Clerks Office of the County of Orange.       Is Rachel was even close to 83 in 1869 she would have been born about 1786. She was actually married about September 10, 1807. This is the bond date. This means that she would have been about 21 years of age when she got married. So, with this, she would have been at home in the 1800 census and married in the 1810 census. With the two census's below is it possible to even make an educated guess as to which of these could have been her father? James, Francis and John are the only three that have a daughter in the 10 to under 16 age bracket. But, knowing how the ages change with the document she might have been in the 16 to under 26 age bracket. Absolom, Isaac, Michael,Francis, John, William and the other John have daughters in this age bracket. OK, Where did she disappear from in 1810. Believe it or not I just can not seem to come to any conclusions from all this. HELP!!!!!! If anyone has any informtion on this Rachel I would really appreciate the help.
