I requested the assistance of researcher for the National Archives to look up the following pension record as I was finding it very challenging at the website spending hours in the search engines and with some information to go I finally declared that I need professional help. It was worth the fee to see this record that has had us stumped for months. I wanted to share with you a tid bit of it. Margaret Bullock Roberts is listed in No. 680 Pension Claim for the War of 1812 Act of February 14, 1871 as the widow of ElIAKIM ROBERTS who enlisted and served under three companies from 18 Sept 1812 to 9 Dec 1814 under the New York Militia. There is mention of a Captain Andrew Brown's company, unknown regiment and brigade but states Hackets Harbor on the summer and fall of 1812. The pension record is full of rejections with the issue of when Margaret and Eliakim were actually married as one rejection date states that the marriage was not prior to Feb 17, 1815 but that it was 10 Dec 1820. Later in the Declaration of a Widow for Pension (1July 1, 1872) Margaret states with her attorneys, Samuel.G. Hopkins and H. Shafer, that "she declares that she is the widow of ELIAKIM ROBERTS who served the full period of sixty days in the Militia service of the United States in the War of 1812 and who has the identical ELIAKIM ROBERTS who enlisted and served in Captian Andrew Brown's company, regiment___, Brigade____, division at Sacketts Harbor on the summer and fall of 1812 and was honorably discharged on 1813 or 1814 that the informant says she thinks that her said husband succeeded said Andrew Brown as Captain of said company and informant has received a law warrant of said __(unreadable) of said husband that she was married under the name of MARGARET BULLOCK to said ELIAKIM ROBERTS on the day of December, A.D. 1814 by Rev. Miller of Canajoharie, NY; there being no legal barrier to such marriage; that her said husband died at _____(unreadable) Wayne County on the month! of August, 1837 and that she has not remarried since his death..." Margaret's name is listed after the Honorable John Fulton, of Carthage, NY to issue her claim. There is a note that states that there were two witnesses that testify that they were present at the marriage of ELIAKIM ROBERTS and MARGARET BULLOC on 10 Dec 1820 and one witness testified he was present at funeral of said soldier.
