McGuire’s Company (belonging as well as remembers to the 16th Virginia Regiment during the war. The deponent states that he is well acquainted with the said Malone & his circumstances in life; that the said Malone is certainly destitute of property & able to do but little labor; & that upon the whole he is in very reduced circumstances in life & needs the assistance of his county for support being at this time dependent in a great measure upon the charity of others.
