Sir,

    I have the honor to inform you that the application of Geo. Smith for a pension under the act of 7 June 1832.   Now for the first time presented, has been examined and filed.

    Claimant alleges the (sic) he served 3 years from Novem 1777 in the Continental Line of Pennsylvania under Col. Jacob Hillsamer, Major Geo. Grace and Capt Phillip Henkley. The record of that line in this Office do not furnish the names of any such officers and the only John Smith found therein belonged to the Invalid Corps under Col Nichola. unless the record at Harrisburg afford clear and satisfactory evidence of the service of Smith as set forth by himself his claim cannot be allowed.
