National Archives in Washington, D.C.. This is a official claim made by Rebecca for War Widow's pension rights based on Henry's service in the North Carolina Militia during the American Revolutionary War. The record is in quill pen hand script.
On this twenty-sixth day of July A.D. one thousand eight hundred and fifty three personally appeared before me, a Justice of the Peace, within and for the County of Carroll, State of Tennessee, Rebecca Senter, aged eighty-eight years, who, being first duly sworn according to law, doth, on her oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provisions made by the Act of Congress passed July 4th, 1836:
That she is the widow of Henry Senter, who was a private in the militia in the State of North Carolina and served in the Revolutionary War. He was drafted and served two terms. The first for three months, and was stationed at Moore's Bridge in the State of North Carolina. He served the second tour three months and was stationed at Fayetteville, to protect that place from the Tories. She further declares that she was married to the said Henry Senter in the year Seventeen hundred and seventy one; that her husband, the aforesaid Henry Senter, died on the 27th day of February 1832, and that she has remained a widow ever since that period, as will be more fully appeared by reference to the proof hereto annexed.
(This was accompanied by a witnessing affirmation signed: Wm. Senter & Jency Ann Senter)

Rebecca X Senter
Mark
The government with no explanation denied the claim. There are two possible reasons:
Henry was in the State Militia instead of the regular Army. And that may have disqualified him. Or the statement was judged to be false. Why? The statement is dated 1853 and says Rebecca was then 88 years old. That means she was born in 1764 or 1765. But then it says she married Henry in 1771. She would have been 6 or 7 years old. Henry, born in 1760, would have been 11 years old. Furthermore the first child was not born until 1786. Did they wait years to have their first child, then have five at one and two year intervals? It is more than likely they were married between 1781-85, after the war was over, so Rebecca was not a war widow.
