Pension Office
January 27. 1846
I certify that I have examined the claim
of the administrator of John Swoope, deceased,
who claims half pay under the act of
July 5, 1832, and I find that said Swoope was a
Surgeon in the Virginia State Navy,
and served till November 1781, when the
Navy was reduced. The claim should
therefore be allowed, at the rate of
one hundred and eighty two dollars and
fifty cents per annum, from November
30. 1781 to January 1. 1793, in which year
Swoope died. The amount is payable to
Frederick Vincent, Esq. administrator of
said Swoope.
