In the matter of claim
of Lemas Marshall, Co A 6 USC Cavy for increase, Act
Feby 6, 1907, Cert. 91604.
On this 17 day of June
1907, personally appeared before me, a Notary Public in
and for the aforesaid County, duly authorized to
administer oaths, Lemas Marshall aged 63 years, a
resident of Henderson, in the County of Henderson and
State of Kentucky well known to me to be reputable and
entitled to credit, and who, being duly sworn,, declares
in relation to the aforesaid case as follows:
I can not give public
record of my birth for the reason that there was none
---- at the time nor can I give Baptismal record as my
family were Baptist and did not believe in Infant
Baptism. I was 31 years old when I joined the church
neither can I give any family or plantation record of my
birth for the reason that my old master Bennett Marshall
is long since dead and left no issue and if he had a
record I know nothing of it. And none of his relations
so far as I can learn, when I enlisted I gave my age at
21 as I had been told that I was. I could have entered
the army at 18 but my people told me I was 21. And I
here with submit my discharge as proof of my good faith
and ask that it be returned to me at an early date. I
had a wife and one child when I enlisted.

In the matter of
Pension Claim of Lymus Marshall comes the affidavit
Hattie E. Denton a person of legal age who deposes and
says that she is the daughter of Lymus Marshall and as
such was called to his aid and attendance in September
1923 by reason of a decline in his health. He has a
growth between his shoulders on the back, had chronic
Asthama and Bronchial trouble which to me seems to grow
more severe with age. We feel that it is absolutely
unsafe for him to be alone at any
time.
