Feb 4
Honorable R. M. Johnson

The amended declaration of Nancy Bramlett in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress of July 4, 1836 and the explanatory
act of the 3rd of March 1837.  She states that from her great age and in consequence of the lost of her memory she is unable at
this great length of time to state the names under who her husband George Adams served as officers during the War of the
Revolution, but she does well know that he was in the service on the Virginia Line and was at home as stated by her in her former
declaration and that he again went to the army and never returned home again and it was several years before it was reported and
generally believed that he was dead.  From her great loss of memory and weakness of body and mind and the great length of time
she cannot state the time it was reported he was dead but think he, to the best of knowledge, that he must have been in the service
the principal part of the War of the Revolution and refers to the record for evidence of his services, given from under my hand this.
