I hereby certify that by a record of the Revolution remaining in this office headed as follows, "Alphabetical List of the Extra or State Regiment in 1780, under the command of Major Giles and the payments made to them by Capt. Golden Paymaster". It appears that the name of William Paton is upon said List to have received $13.30

George G Brewer
Reg Land Off, MD

Dear Sir

Your letter of the 12 inst was received and I send you above a certificate from a List or roll of the Extra Regiment in the war of the Revolution which is all the evidence the records in this office afford of the service of William Patton. The records of the Revolution are very imperfect all the paymasters accounts and vouchers were sent on to Washington and some years ago and have been lost by the burning of the public buildings. No information therefore of the details of their payments is now ascertainable. I cannot say how long William Paton was in service or the captains under whom he served the above certificate contains all that can be furnished from the records of the Revolution in this office.

Very Respectfully
Your Obt Servant
G.G. Brewer
