Sylvia Crossman married Enoch Hunt, and they were the parents of the following children: Sildia, Polly, Sally, Peddy, John, Joseph, Zebina, and Simeon. Sylvia Hunt was applying for a pension related to her deceased husband's military service. She could not find a marriage certificate, so she had to have witnesses attest to the fact that they were married. There is one paper signed by Enoch Hunt outlining his military service, one filed by Mary Hunt who says she was married to Enoch's brother Stephen and could attest that Enoch and Sylvia were married, and then there is Peddy's who seems to be certifying her parents' birth dates and also giving documentation of the birth dates of the family and information about the death of Simeon. Below is Peddy's oath:
