Pension Records - Henry Sipes

Widow's Pension Records in the case of Isabelle (Webster) Sipes
(claim #306.442)

Why do they exist, and what information do they contain?

After Henry Sipes died, his widow, Isabelle, attempted to acquire pension money from the U.S. government.  The documents that were part of her pension file in the National Archives in Washington D.C. are listed below.  

There is much valuable information contained within these documents.  Family names and important dates are given, but of equal value is information given by family and neighbors, and signatures of various family members. 

Copies of each of the original documents are shown first, and, where words are difficult to read, full transcriptions follow.  For purposes of authenticity, we have transcribed all documents exactly as they are written - with all punctuation, spelling, and sentence structure the way they appear in the original text.
