Elizabeth MILROY McKEY applied for a widow's pension and, in part, here is what the extract reads, typos included (I do not have the actual file):
"On this twentieth day of January in the year one thousand eight hundred and forty seven ... in the County Court of the County of Chemung Elizabeth McKey a resident of the Town of Veteran in the County of Chemung and said State of New York aged Eighty two years, ... make the following declaration ... That she is the widow of Alexander McKey late of the Town of Erin ... that her husband resided during said War of the Revolution about ten miles south of the City of Albany ... that her said husband served between one and two, or nearly two years as a Fifer and also as a Sergeant in the first New York Regiment commanded by Colonel Van Schaack. That her said husband died in the Town of Erin in the County of Chemung, aforesaid on the third day of June Eighteen hundred & thirty. ... That she was married to the said Alexander McKey on the Eighteenth day of October Seventeen hundred and Eighty by the Rev'd John Young a Presbyterian Clergyman at Princetown Schenectady County NY that the following persons were present at her marriage, to wit: her sisters Jannet, and Ann, Thomas Gifford and wife, Archibald Van Schaack."
Note: I descend through Elizabeth's sister Mary MILROY McWILLIAM; they were the daughters of John and Elizabeth (poss. McCRACKEN) MILROY who immigrated from Scotland in 1774. I would especially like to know when and where their parents died.
