In the case of William Manlove of Montgomery County, in the State of Ohio, a petitioner for a pension under the act of Congress, of the 18th March 1818 entitled "an act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United in the revolutionary war":

Office of the Secretary of the State of Delaware
Dover - 2 June 1819.

There is in this office "a muster role of Captain Nathan Adams' company & Delaware Regiment of Continental Troops, commanded by Colonel John Haslet & in the service of the United Colonies in barracks at Dover the twelfth day of April 1776", from which it appears that a man of the name "William Manlove" was enlisted into the said company as a private soldier on the 16th of January 1776, and that in this note of the said muster role he belonged to the said company and was then "sick in quarters":  This is the only paper in this Office that furnishes any proof of the services of the said William Manlove as a soldier in the revolutionary war, there being in this office no other muster roles or pay roles of the said Captain Nathan Adams.
