State of N. Carolina Secretary's Office 7th April 1820
J. William Hill Secretary of State in for the State aforesaid, do hereby certify that I do not find the name of James Downning on the master rolls of the Continental line of this State in the revolutionary war, but finding on the Journals of the Provincial Congress which met at Hillsboro on the 20th Sept 1775, that Robert Row XXX was appointed a Captain on the 1st of Sept 1775,  and not find the said Robt Rowans name on the Rolls a foesaid. I am induced to believe the declaration of the said James Downing is true.
The names of those who entered the service in the early part of the war for a short time are seldom found on the rolls. 
Given under my hand the date above
W. White
