Notes for C
ATHERINE MCCAULEY:
Catherine's pension application was ultimately denied because she had problems proving her husband's military service and her marriage to him. Names and dates whe was able to supply did not match any that could be found in Washington, D. C., though they now appear to have been completely accurate. Part of her problem lay with her residing in Jefferson County, Ohio, and with the pertinent records remaining in Pennsylvania -- she could not contact any other family member who could swear to the facts she supplied. She tried repeatedly from 1850 (age 87) until 1855 (age 94) and was still living in 1858 according to a letter dated September 23, 1858 from the pension file. Her original papers had been lost, having missed the court and being sent with person or persons unknown. Last correspondence was 1859. She died in 1860.
