Pension Office Decr 16 1850
I certify that I have examined the claim of the  administrator of William Skinner deceased under the act of July 5 1832, & find that said Skinner was captain of the sloop Congess of the Virginia State Navy and served in that vessel until the spring of 1780 say until 12 the of June of that year when he was laid up & he became supernumerary
It is my opinion therefore that the claim should be allowed. Half pay is due at the rate of $250 93 per annum per annum from  the 7th of June 1780 to the 7th of January 1805 in which year it is proved that the said Skinner was lost at sea; and the amount is payable to Vespasian Ellis attorney in fact for Joseph Segar administrator of Wm Skinner deceased
