SURVIVING "WOMEN OF THE REVOLUTION."

The following is a list of the surviving widows

(out of about 5,000 admitted) who were pensioned

under the first act that was passed by Congress

viz: July 4, 1836, for the service of their husbands

in the revolutionary war. To entitle them to a

pension, the act required that the marriage should

have taken place prior to the completion of their

husband's services in that war. It is remarkable

that in nearly all of them they applied for and re-

ceived their pensions up to the 4th of March last,

the date of the last return; and still more so, that

in several cases they should be living 84 years

after their marriage, and have enjoyed their coun-

try's bounty for 3x years:
