Summary: Sarah and Phillip White were residents of Bath County, Kentucky. At the time she filed her widow's pension application she was living at a Refugee Camp at Camp Nelson in Jessamine County, Kentucky. Sarah had one child with Phillip by the name of George Christopher White, who was born in 1863. Sarah had been previously married and had a son that was fifteen years old, born from that relationship. It appears his name was Washington. She also lists what appear to be two more children. The writing is faded and difficult to read but it seems to be an eleven year old child named Sandy and seven year old child named Thomas Jefferson. Affidavits from Gabriel Burdett and Nathen Davis on pages 7-8. Affidavits from Thomas Burden and David Robinson on pages 11-12.

She states she has a child by her former husband Washington who will be 15 years old on the 14th of December. Both children are living with her and are dependent upon her for support. Then there are more children listed but the writing is very faint. It looks to be something like the following: "also, Sandy was 11 years old Sept 24 (1863?) also dependent upon me. also Thomas Jefferson 7 years old 24th day of Jan Past also dependent upon me." Witnesses Thomas Bunden and David Robinson, residents of Jessamine County, Kentucky witness Sarah make her mark and they make their mark as well.
