land from the United States.

By an Act of Congress, of the 16th September, 1776, it is provided, that the Officers and Soldiers who 
engaged for, and continued to serve during the war, or until discharged by Congress, and the heirs of such Officers and Soldiers as shall be slain by the enemy, shall receive land in proportion to their rank.

N. B. Those who engaged for three years, or for any other period than during the war, or who died

proper authorities:

State of South Carolina

in the service aforesaid until the end of the war as appears on
record in the pension office in Washington

William on the part of the United States; nor do I believe that he ever received it, or transferred
his claim to it in any manner whatsoever: therefore,

Know all men by these presents, that I, John Neufville aforesaid, do
hereby constitute and appoint Samuel C Potter_ to be my true and
lawful attorney, for me and in my name to demand and receive from the Secretary of War of the United States, a warrant for the quantity of land due to me as aforesaid; and my said attorney is hereby fully authorized and empowered to constitute and appoint one or more substitutes or attorneys under him, for the
special purposes above expressed.
