Be it remembered that 
on this 28th day of December 1820 Miles [illegible]
[illegible] and Beale Greenup (men of credibil
ity) made oath that they have [illegible] 
the articles detailed in the foregoing in
ventory and that on their oaths they de
clare it as their opinion that the articles 
are estimated at their full value.
Wherefore it is my opinion that the property 
of George Stamm is not worth more than 
thirty two dollars and twenty five cents 
I do further believe that he is a proper object 
of bounty under the act of Congress of the 18"
of March 1818 relating to the soldiers 
of the Revolution

Be it remembered that on the 28 
day of April 1819, before me Nathaniel 
Pope [struck out: one of the] Judge of the United States for 
the district of Illinois personally appeared 
George Stamm an inhabitant of Kaskaskia 
in the said county, who being duly sworn 
deposeth and saith that he enlisted in the service 
of the United States, as a private soldier, 
in Frederick Town in Maryland, in the 
month of May 1780, in Captain John Smith's 
company in the sixth regiment second brigade 
of the Maryland line during the War 
and that he continued in the service until 
1783, when the troops were furloughed untill [until]
called on at Anapolis [Annapolis] for final settlement 
& discharge, which the deponent thinks happened 
in 1784 at which time the deponent was 
engaged at Hagerstown and did not attend 
in person, but forwarded his furlough by Col. 
David Linn with instructions to settle his sd.
deponent's accounts & obtain for him a discharge 
which the deponent believes was delivered to sd 
Captain Lynn but that neither the money or the
Page 9

discharge came into the possession of this deponent 
That at the time deponent was furloughed he was 
attached to the second regiment of Maryland troops 
commanded by Colo. Egleston and under the imme
diate command of Lieutenant Bolden in a company 
previously commanded by Captain Oren
durf and succeeded by Lieut. Norris who fell 
at Camden 16th August 1780.  The deponent fur
ther states that he was enlisted as a musician 
& was continued on the muster roll as a 
musician but that he did not perform the 
duties of a musician, but that he bore arms 
as a private. The deponent further states that 
from his reduced circumstances he needs 
the assistance of his country for support
