This is a retyped version of Jacob Barlett's widow Christena applying for a 
newly enacted (1838) pension based upon her husband's duty in the Revolutionary 
War. The paperwork we have so far is all handwritten (a reason why so many 
misspellings are encountered), some of it esasy to read, other portions 
difficult. These can be ordered from the govt, and we have a copy. BW
