At a Court held for the said County of Norfolk the eighteenth day of May One thousand eight hundred and eighteen
Maxey Stewart a resident of the County of Norfolk and a Citizen of the Commonwealth of Virginia this day made a declaration on oath in open Court that he enlisted in the Continental Army of the United States in the Revolutionary War as a private soldier under Capt. Wm Hoffler in the first Virginia State regiment commanded by Colo. George Gibson in Gen. Muhlenburg's brigade in the year 1777, and that he continued in the service for three years when the Regiment was discharged, which declaration being confirmed by, the oath of Major Wm. Hoffler by whom he was enlisted & under whom he served, The Court doth order the same to be certified to the Secretary of War.
The said Maxey Stewart also made oath, That his discharge has been lost and cannot now be produced, and further that from his reduced circumstances, he is now actually in need of that assistance offered to the Soldiers & Seamen of the Revolutionary army.
And at a Court held for the said County of Norfolk the 17th day of August 1818.
The Court doth certify that Maxey Stewart, who hath heretofore made a declaration of his having served in the Revolutionary War, and of his being in need of a pension, is aged infirm, very indigent & in need of such pension.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of my office to be hereto affixed on this 20th day of August 1818 and in the 43rd year of the Commonwealth
