Lucinda applied for Widow's Pension on 8 Sep 1926. She was living with her son-in-law S. R. Jackson and no property of any kind; she was totally blind. She named all the children and gave their ages. She did not remember the company & regiment he served in. John Tucker was named as a friend who would be willing to furnish more information.
D. B. Flatt and Willis Meadors were her witnesses. Flatt said he'd known her for 40 years and known her husband since he was a child. They did not know anything about his military service except what they'd been told. They knew he had been born in Tennessee and that they had cohabitted together and recognized as husband and wife. She had no property nor had conveyed any in the past two years as she had none to convey and she was blind.
Algood Moore, Clerk of the Putnam County Court, certified that the court house was destroyed by fire in 1898 and if the record of the marriage of Andrew Pippin and Lucinda V. Hutchison ever existed, it had been destoyed by said fire.
An inquiry was sent to see if Andrew Pippin had served in the 8th Regisment of the TN Cavalry. The reply came back that "one Andrew Pippin, who enlisted at Murfreesboro, residence Jackson Co., served in Co. B, 28th Tenn. Inf., C.S.A. which became Co K, 18th (Consolidated) Tenn. Inf. C.S.A.
The Pension has the following note on the outside: No proof of marriage. No Trustees certificate. Can't file. Perhaps this was corrected as it's also stamped ACCEPTED.
Apparently John Tucker was contacted as there's a typed letter from him. His letterhead reads: John Tucker, General Merchandise, Coffins and Caskets. Double Springs, Tenn. It's dated 2 Oct 1926, and he offers to try to find old people who can testify to the marriage of Andrew & Lucinda by their living together but there is no one living who was present at their marriage. He is willing to assist her anyway he can at no charge as he lost his father in the Confederate Army.

Lucinda's death certificate states that she died of influenza & old age; she was 81 years old and blind. Her parents are given on the certificate as William Hutcherson & Mary Bullington.
