Office of the Secretary of the State of Delaware}
Dover 3 June 1820}

There are in this office pay rolls of Captain John Learmoth's company, belonging to the Delaware Regiment commanded by Col. David Hall in the service of the United States in the Continental establishment during the Revolutionary War, from the Month of May 1777 inclusive to the Month of March 1780 inclusive, all of which I have carefully examined, and the name of Arthur Hazzard does not appear in any of them -

It appears however that [crossed out] from a muster vote of the non commissioned officers [illegible] officers and rank and file of the late Delaware Regiment that the first company of the second battalion in Col. Williams regiments serving in the Southern army of the United States active Hillsborough N. Carolina Sept. 1780 | of which muster role a copy was lately transmitted to the U.S. War Department | that a private soldier after name of "Arthur Hazard" then belonged to the same "first company" and was "absent with leave"; his name appears on said muster role at No. 32._

The name of Arthur Hazzard will also be seen at No. 98 in the paper writing dated "1 March 1782" and signed "W. McKennan Capt. D.R.", of which paper writing a copy was lately sent to the War Dept. _

From the same muster roll and the paper writing aforesaid, it would appear that a private soldier of the name of Arthur Hazzard belonged [underlined] to the Delaware Regiment, or the continental establishment in the service of the United States during the revolutionary war, for more than nine months._
