Sir
The declaration of Joseph
Logen [Login] has been [ ? examined]  & filed  with suspended cases in this office. He
[illegible] for a tour of four months as a
militia man of the State of Virginia,
from Sept 1776, under Col. William
Christian. That tour did not occupy
so long a tour as four months
He claims also claim for a militia tour of service from from (sic) April 1777 until the following
Sept.  against the Cherokee Indians
under Col Campbell. The militia were not drafted to serve so long a term as is alleged nor does the
State of said tour agree with the facts or
in other respects. This claim for tours of service for the months in 1778, and for six months in 1779, is also objectionable. The militia were not called upon to remain stationary at any one place
Page 3

for three months as is alleged, 
and the service set forth as alleged for six months, does [? not} agree with the facts nor was there any continuous service performed by the militia for that length of time.
