NC Civil War Pension Application of Sarah Elizabeth [Page] Huneycutt

On 1 July 1902, Sarah Elizabeth [Page] Huneycutt, age 68, of  Wadesboro, NC applied for a Widow pension for the service of her husband during the Civil War.

Her husband, James W. Huneycutt, had recently passed away on 19 November 1896. During the War, he had served in Company “C”, 42 NC Infantry.

There is an error on page 1 of this application where it states that James served in the 42 and strike-through was made and South Carolina written in; the 42th was a NC Regiment and James served with this NC Regiment. [https://www.fold3.com/image/271/49881976]



She stated the following:
She married before 1861 [actual marriage date was 20 May 1855]
Her husband died about Nov 1896 [died 19 Nov  1896]
She received a pension in South Carolina in June 1901 - She moved to North Carolina in October 1901- and has since that date and is now a resident of North Carolina.

John Dry was her witness to statements made within her NC Widow’s Application for a Pension.
John Dry was the son of Charles Andrew Dry and his wife Leah Tucker. John Dry and Sarah’s husband, James W. Huneycutt, were cousins.





James W. Huneycutt  and his wife Sarah Elizabeth [Page] Huneycutt are my paternal 2nd Great Grandparents.
