“State of Kentucky, County of Bourbon — The affiant Harriett Tiffy states that when she made an application for Pension in 1878 she aimed to give the births of her children in general way, as near as she could and with no desire to claim pension for those that were dead which her subsequent affidavit showed, and that she had no data to guide her except such as was furnished here by B.F. Moore and S.E. Moore, her former master and mistress. She further states that she stated the fact of their death when she made the application to her attorney H.E. Hastings, who omitted to state it in drawing up the application, she states that she can only give the year her children were born in as she kept no family record, and that this data is furnished by B.F.
