This document is a short excerpt from what appears to be an official or legal declaration dated February 24, 1844, concerning a Richard Williams. 
The text snippet indicates that the document's author, Arch Parker, is certifying that the "declaration of Richard Williams is genuine". The document is archived in the National Archives (NARA) Catalog and was contributed by FamilySearch, suggesting it may be a historical or genealogical record.

Falkland Pitt County M 8th Decr 1844
Cousin William
There is some arrearage of pension due the estate
of my Father for services performed by him in the Revolution
Morby of Warren County is the againt employed by my brother Richard
to get the money and has no doubt he will succeed if your assistance
can be procured. He made application I understand some months
part but was informed that the proof of my Father's services was
insufficient though be received twenty dollars per month during
several of the last years of his life upon evidence that may now be
referred to if it is not last. I shall not be benefitted a cent of
the money is paid to Mary for it will belong to my brother Richard
and the sisters Emily & Adeline who are the residuary legatees of my
Father, but am anxious that they shall receive it, being as much
entitled to it as others, and as I never expected to hear his services in
the revolution questioned a very anxious on this account to establish
the claim
the soldiers of the revolution and nearly all dead,
and it is impossible at this time to make any positive proof of his
services, but hundreds would I think testify that they have heard all
their lives, and from soldiers of the revolution, that my Father was a
Surgeon in the army of the revolution. Will you oblige me by
assisting Mosby in this business at least so far as to say what you
have heard and believe of the revolutionary services of my Father
this I have good reason to believe will be sufficient to establish the claim
you can scarcely immagine how much interest in this affair
Your kind and relation

The image displays an excerpt from a historical legal document, specifically a last will and testament and a subsequent codicil, dated in the 1830s. 
The document outlines the following key points:
Executors: Robert F. J. H. Williams and Richard Williams, the testators' beloved sons, are appointed as the executors of the will.
Original Will Date: The original document was signed and sealed on August 24, 1836.
Codicil Date: A codicil (an addition or alteration to a will) was added on November 20, 1838.
Codicil Alterations: The codicil modifies the land bequest to the son Richard. Instead of the original land, both Robert and Richard are granted a specific oblong square of land on the riverbank, measuring one hundred yards by sixty yards.
Conditions: The land grant is conditional; neither son can sell or rent their part without the other's consent.
Distillery Ownership: The property includes a distillery and other structures. Since Robert already owns one half of the distillery, the other half is given to Richard, to them and their heirs and assigns forever.

The text in the image is an excerpt from a historical document, likely a pension application or military record related to the American Revolutionary War. It appears to be a sworn statement or testimony detailing military service and personnel from North Carolina.
The meaning of the text is a description of specific events and individuals involved in a regiment:
Key Personnel: It names a "Surgeon to a Regiment raised by the State of North Carolina," and identifies John Heritage as a Colonel ("Col") and John Allen as a Major.
Captains Mentioned: Ben Whitfield, William Heritage Herring, John Garland Mack Allen, and Gidenwere are listed as Captains.
Timeline and Service: The snippet mentions acting again in July, a location called "Piper two miles from their homes," a service term of "about nine months," and a subsequent event in August 1780 involving "about eighty men".
Context: The mention of "the State," "Legislative of the governors," and military structure strongly indicates an official record of service, likely for the purpose of verifying a claim or pension related to that conflict. The source URL visible in the image is "catalog.archives.gov," confirming its origin from national archives records.

In addition to pension records, there are several other valuable U.S. government and related resources for tracing Revolutionary War ancestors, primarily maintained by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). 
Key Government Resources
Compiled Military Service Records (CMSRs): The National Archives holds CMSRs for volunteer soldiers who served in the Revolutionary War. These records consist of card abstracts compiled from original muster rolls, pay rolls, and other documents, providing information such as rank, unit, dates of service, and sometimes biographical details like age or physical description.
Bounty Land Warrants: The government granted bounty-land warrants (rights to free land) to veterans as an incentive and reward for service. The application files for these warrants often contain supporting documentation similar to pension files, including affidavits and proofs of service, which are rich in genealogical data.
Revolutionary War Rolls: This collection of records, available on microfilm and through online platforms like Ancestry.com, lists men who fought for the Continental Army.
Papers of the Continental Congress: These extensive records (1774–1789) can contain miscellaneous information and petitions regarding individuals who served or provided aid to the war effort.
Census Records: The 1840 U.S. Census is particularly useful as it lists Revolutionary War pensioners or other military service recipients, which can help in identifying where an ancestor lived shortly after the war. 
Accessing Records
Many of these records have been microfilmed by the National Archives and are available online through genealogical websites like FamilySearch.org, Ancestry.com, and Fold3.com (many of which are accessible for free at affiliate libraries like the DAR Library). 
Non-Government but Essential Resources
Lineage societies such as the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) and the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) maintain extensive public databases of proven ancestors and their descendants, which are invaluable for research. Their databases include the: 
DAR Genealogical Research System (GRS): A free online portal that includes an ancestor search for over thousands of proven patriots.
SAR Patriot Research System (PRS): A database combining various indexes and grave registries for Revolutionary War patriots. 
These resources can provide established lineages and guide researchers to the specific government documents used to verify service.

glorious thought
This document is about the Revolutionary War pension application of Robert Williams of Pitt County, North Carolina. 
The text provides details about his military service and family, and appears to be a historical record from the National Archives catalog website. 
Key Details from the Document:
Soldier: Robert Williams, a resident of Pitt County, North Carolina.
Service: He served as a quartermaster and surgeon/surgeon's mate with North Carolina troops during the American Revolution.
Engagements: He participated in the battle of Moore's Creek in 1776 and a skirmish at Charlotte in 1780.
Pension: He was allowed a pension on his application executed on August 9, 1832.
Death: He died on October 12, 1840, in Pitt County, North Carolina.
Family: The document lists the names of his children who were living in 1836: Harriett Joiner (or Joyner), Marietta Dilla Ann Eliza Singetary, Robert Franklin John Haywood Williams, Elizabeth E. Freeman, Richard Williams, Emily A. Joyner, and Adeline E. Williams. His wife had died many years prior, and her name is not mentioned.

The transcription is incomplete and contains potential errors due to the challenges of deciphering old handwriting with machine learning, which is a known limitation of this type of "full-text search" feature. 
Contextual Interpretation
Based on the fragmented content, the text seems to be part of a formal correspondence:
"was 20 as Com-William": This likely refers to someone's age or a rank/title associated with the name William (e.g., Commander William or Commissary William).
"Very truly yours D.": This is a standard, formal closing of a letter, followed by a signature that appears to be "D." (or part of a larger, illegible signature).
"we Assis 6 a Alians, ent to the strator": This is likely the most machine-generated part and very fragmented. It might be interpreted as "we assist[ed] 6 aliens, sent to the [admini]strator," which aligns with NARA's holdings of alien registration affidavits and immigration records. 
The image itself is from a user interface where an individual is reviewing this AI-generated transcript alongside the original image of the document, as the interface provides options to navigate pages and download the record.
Page 20

This image displays a page from the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) online catalog, specifically a Revolutionary War pension file for a veteran named Robert Williams. The details show the history of the claim as it was processed over several decades. 
Key Information and Meaning:
catalog.archives.gov/id/1: This is the URL for the NARA online catalog, which houses historical government records.
Contributed by FamilySearch: FamilySearch is a NARA partner that helps digitize and transcribe historical records, in this case, using artificial intelligence (AI) to extract text from the original handwritten documents.
Robert Williams, Sing Nee Ward: This identifies the veteran. The specific file number is likely S7922 (as shown in search results, often written without the 'S' as just 7922 in some indexes), and "Sing Nee Ward" likely refers to the specific ward or district where he lived when he filed the claim or was indexed.
Act: June 7th 1832: This refers to the Pension Act of 1832, a federal law that dramatically broadened eligibility for pensions to all surviving officers and soldiers who had served at least six months during the Revolutionary War, regardless of financial need or disability.
Index: Vol. A, Page 409 (Arrangement of 1870): These are internal references for locating the physical file within the archive system.
Dates & Names: The list of dates (e.g., 1920, 1928, 1930, 1935) and names (Rev. Isaac W. Hughes, Mrs. Arthur Bussey, etc.) indicates the long history of the pension claim, likely showing when different family members (often widows or heirs) contacted the pension office for information or to claim benefits under subsequent, more liberal laws.
"Rev War 1922 INVALID.": "Invalid" originally referred to a person unfit for active duty due to disability. The 1922 date refers to a specific inquiry or processing event related to this file many decades after the war ended. 
In short, the document is a historical record of a Revolutionary War veteran's application for a federal pension, which was a multi-generational process managed by the U.S. government and its archival partners.

The text in the image is a segment of an early American court record or military pension application document housed in the National Archives. 
The document discusses a man's Revolutionary War service in 1780 under a certain "General Sumner," where he claims to have served for "three months". The document is a sworn statement given in open court where the man, after initially having no further proof of his service, found a witness, Mr. John Anderson, and a discharge paper. The discharge, produced by John Anderson, was given by a "Williams Segun to Gadkin Hospital 21st Oct 1780". 
The document details the testimonies of both the claimant and John Anderson, the latter of whom confirms his long acquaintance with "Dr Robert Williams". It serves as a formal legal record of evidence provided to substantiate a claim, likely for a pension or land grant related to military service.

The text in the image is a partial transcription of an old, handwritten letter or document. The full context of the original document is needed for a complete understanding, but based on the visible snippet, the text refers to the delivery of a letter that apparently explains the writer's authority or actions in a particular matter.
The main points of the text are:
A letter is being handed over: The writer states, "with this I hand you the letter under which I am acting".
A person's interest is disqualified: The text mentions that "The writes is as of Dr William deed by his first marriage and no way interested in this matter W". This implies that a person (likely Dr. William) has no legal or personal claim/interest in the specific subject being discussed in the document, possibly due to a prior agreement or a marriage settlement.
The document appears to be a historical record from the National Archives (NARA) contributed via FamilySearch, likely relating to legal or historical research, as indicated by the NAID number and source information.

Duration of Service: The speaker mentions tours of duty that were officially three months but often lasted up to four months due to the time it took to march home (sometimes 300-400 miles from South Carolina).
Compensation: Soldiers always received pay from the time they were mustered in until they returned home.
Specific Campaign: The account refers to a three months service period in 1780 when General Sumner commanded.
Hospital Duties: The speaker was in charge of the principal hospital belonging to the army, which generally had about 150 sick individuals.
Personal Health: The speaker mentions contracting dysentery and becoming severely reduced in health.
Becoming ill with dysentery and being too weak to perform his duties.
Informing a commanding general that the service time for many men, especially those in the hospital, was almost over, suggesting they be discharged.
Receiving authority to discharge men and impress horses and provisions.
A long journey home (about two hundred miles) that took more than three months.
His service as a Quarter Master and being present when the Tories (Loyalists) were defeated at Moores Creek Bridge.
Stating he never expected pay for shorter services but believes he has sufficiently established twelve months of service as a surgeon.
"he gave me authority to discharge them from their... and furnished me with powers to impress horses, get provisions &c.": The applicant describes being given significant responsibility and authority during his service, including managing logistics like discharging soldiers, acquiring supplies, and impressing (commandeering for public use) horses and provisions.
"we was more than three months before we returned home as to one month; when acted as Quarter Master when the tories was defeated at Moores Creek Bridge": He recounts a specific period of service as a Quarter Master, mentioning the significant Battle of Moores Creek Bridge, a key Patriot victory in North Carolina in 1776. He is establishing the duration and importance of his service.
"I do think that I have established twelve months as surgeon sufficiently to the authority by which I appointment this is out of the question, every Regiment during the war was entitled to a Surgeon": The core of his argument is that he served for twelve months as a surgeon. He is defending the legitimacy of his appointment and service, possibly because formal records were scarce for militia members, and he needed witnesses or strong testimony to prove his eligibility for a pension.
"you genl Well knew my standing as a man and as a Physician and Surgeon": The applicant is appealing to a general (possibly the recipient of the letter or a court official) who can corroborate his character and professional qualifications. 
In summary, the document is a personal appeal for a pension, where the veteran recounts his Revolutionary War service, emphasizes his key roles at a notable battle, and provides testimony of his character and medical credentials to prove his claim for compensation.

The image contains an extracted text from a historical letter or document. 
The text itself is a fragment of a formal correspondence, likely from the 19th or early 20th century, given its phrasing. The author is expressing gratitude for documents received and confidence that they will receive fair treatment ("justice will be done me") in a business or political matter. The author also sends well wishes to the recipient for a pleasant session at Congress.
In modern language, the sender is:
Thanking the recipient for frequently sent documents.
Expressing full confidence in the recipient to handle a business matter fairly.
Hoping to hear from the recipient while they are in Washington, D.C.
Wishing the recipient well in their upcoming congressional session

The image provided is a text abstract from a Revolutionary War pension application file for a Dr. Robert Williams. The text is an excerpt from a historical document detailing a veteran's claim for a pension based on his military service. 
Meaning of the Text
The document states that a payment (a portion) is to be "accept[ed] for Dr Robert Williams" for his "one years service in the Revolution".
This refers to the process where veterans of the American Revolutionary War could apply for a federal pension, particularly after the acts of 1818 and 1832 provided for payments to those who had served for a minimum length of time.
The specific document is likely an abstract or summary card created for genealogical records, indicated by the "FamilySearch NARA Partner" attribution (National Archives and Records Administration).
The names "Wright" and "(5)" are likely indexing information or related parties in the document, possibly the name of a witness, clerk, or another reference within the full file.
The document confirms Dr. Robert Williams provided a minimum of one year of service during the war, which qualified him for a pension under the 1832 pension act.
Page 45


The image is a text-based transcription of a historical pension record document, likely from the 19th century, concerning a veteran named Ellis E. Freeman and his family. 
The document provides details about the pension payments and beneficiaries:
Subject: The pension of Ellis E. Freeman, recorded in "Book E. Vt 6½ W. Hawkins".
Administration: Payments were to be made at Fayetteville by the President of the S.B.B., who acted as the Agent for paying Pensioners in the Agency of North Carolina.
Payment Details: Mentions increases and amounts paid to a surgeon ("300 to 120 D") before the pensioner died, and what was subsequently paid to the children.
Beneficiaries: The only children listed as recorded in the pension document are Harriet & Emily A. Joyner, Richard Adeline E. & Robt J. W. Williams.
Recording Details: The record is on "Page 79" and was recorded by a D. Brown, Clerk, in Henderson, Granville. 
In essence, the document serves as an administrative record of who received pension funds and how those payments were distributed to survivors after the original pensioner's death.
Page 46

The document in the image is a Revolutionary War claim certificate from the War Department, certifying that Robert Williams is entitled to a pension.
Recipient: Robert Williams, a surgeon in the Revolutionary War from North Carolina.
Entitlement: He is entitled to receive two hundred and forty dollars per annum during his natural life.
Effective Date: The payment commenced on March 4, 1831.
Payment Schedule: Payments are made semi-annually on the 4th of March and 4th of September each year.
Document Date: The certificate was issued at the War Office of the United States on December 13, 1833.
Signatures: Examined and countersigned by Elias (likely the Secretary of War) and J.L. Edward, Commissioner of Pensions.

The text is an official state document from the North Carolina Comptroller's Office, dated July 24, 1846, certifying Robert Williams's military service and the financial compensation he was due. 
Meaning of the Text
Official Certification: William F. Collins, the North Carolina Comptroller of Public Accounts at the time, issued this certificate in Raleigh.
Military Service Record: The document verifies that the name of "Robert Williams" is recorded in an official registry of militia officers (specifically a book marked "I", known as the "Brown Book"), confirming his status as a "Legion of Militia".
Financial Compensation: The core of the document details several "Special Certificates" issued to Robert Williams as payment for his military service. These certificates represent varying sums of British pounds and shillings, which were presumably the currency used for state debts or claims at the time, totaling a significant amount:
£12
£15
£49
£20, 12 shillings and 6 pence
£81, 18 shillings and 6 pence
£18
Genealogical/Historical Context: This type of record is a primary historical source often used by genealogists (as indicated by the FamilySearch/NARA attribution) to prove an ancestor's military service and financial history in North Carolina during the mid-19th century. It is part of the state archives records.

This document is a U.S. War Department certificate confirming a posthumous pension claim related to service during the Revolutionary War [1.1].
The document details the following points from the text in the image:
Claim Type: Revolutionary Claim [1.1].
Law: Issued in conformity with the law of the United States of June 7th, 1832 [1.1].
Pensioner: Robert Williams (decd) of North Carolina, who served as a Surgeon in the N.C. Troops [1.1].
Pension Rate: Entitled to three hundred dollars per annum, payable semi-annually [1.1].
Effective Dates: Commencing on March 4th, 1831, and ending when he died in October 1840 [1.1].
Payable To: After deductions, the remaining amount is payable to his only children: Harriet, A. Joyner, Richard, E. Robert F., J.W., and Elizabeth E. [1.1].
Issue Date: Given at the War Office of the United States on the 33rd day of (month missing), 1846 [1.1].
The image is a duplicate pension certificate for Robert Williams, a surgeon who served with the North Carolina troops during the Revolutionary War. The document is a "Revolutionary Claim" filed under the Federal Pension Act of June 7, 1832. 
Meaning of the Document
Pension Eligibility: The Pension Act of 1832 extended pension benefits to all surviving Revolutionary War veterans who had served at least six months, regardless of financial need or disability. Previously, pensions were primarily for disabled veterans or those in extreme poverty.
Specifics of the Claim: This document certifies that Robert Williams was entitled to a pension of $300 per annum (yearly), which was an increase from his initial rate of $246 per year.
Payment Details: Payments were scheduled semi-annually on March 4th and September 4th.
Post-Mortem Benefits: Williams died in October 1840. The document indicates that the unpaid benefits from his last payment until his death were payable to his surviving children: Harriet Joyner, A. Joyner, Richard Williams, E. Robert F. Williams, J.W. Williams, and Elizabeth E. Williams. This was a provision of the 1832 Act, allowing the widow or children to collect unpaid funds after the veteran's death.
Official Record: The document is a duplicate issued in 1846, signed by the Commissioner of Pensions and the Secretary of War, confirming the claim's validity and payment details.
Page 51


This image displays a historical United States Pension Office document dated December 22, 1846. It is an internal administrative note concerning a claim for financial payment related to a deceased veteran. 
The document discusses the process of verifying a claim for a "stipend" (pension payment) on behalf of the "late Doctor Williams". 
Key points:
Purpose: The note confirms that there were issues with the names listed in the original "Power" (presumably Power of Attorney or authorization) certificate needed to make the payment.
Action Required: It states that someone named "Jonah" needs to make the payment.
Further Documentation: It explicitly mentions that a "Certificate of Norman who married the Daughter" (likely the veteran's daughter who is a potential heir) is needed and must be sent in to ensure the payment is made to the correct, legally recognized individual.
Context: The language is formal and typical of 19th-century government bureaucracy, highlighting the rigorous documentation required to prove eligibility for military pensions, which were a significant federal expense at the time.

This image displays the extracted text from an historical letter dated June 1847, which is a record related to a U.S. government pension application. The document is part of archival records managed by a FamilySearch and NARA (National Archives and Records Administration) partnership. 
The document is a correspondence from Ann Hunt to James L. Edwards, the Commissioner of Pensions, regarding the handling of a pension certificate for the heirs of a "Robert William".
Breakdown of the Text
Date and Office: The letter is dated "Farth" (likely an abbreviation for a location or simply "Fourth") June 1847 and was sent to the Pension Office.
Addressee: It is addressed to James L. Edwards, who held the title of "Commissioner of Pensing" (Pensions) at the time.
Subject: The main body of the letter instructs the Commissioner to deliver the "Pension certificate" to the "heirs of Robert William" as per instructions in a previous letter dated the 28th Ult (Ultimo, meaning the previous month).
Sender: The letter is from Jane Sy (likely part of the formal closing, possibly "Jane S[a]y[re]") and signed by Ann Hunt, who identifies herself with the closing "fully & Obt Sert" (fully and Obedient Servant), a standard formal closing for correspondence of that era.
Access and Context: The bottom of the image indicates that this is page 52 of 74 of a document file, contributed by a FamilySearch NARA Partner, and the access is unrestricted.
Page 53

The text is an extract from an administrative or financial record from the 1840s, likely related to military service, a pension, or land grants. It provides details about a specific individual named Robert Williams.
Here's a breakdown of the content:
Source Information: The document was contributed by FamilySearch and a NARA Partner. NARA stands for the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration.
Case Details:
It references a Robert Williams (sometimes abbreviated as "Robt") with the number "480 N.C.", which may refer to a military unit or file number in North Carolina.
One note states there is "no Robt Williams on our books at the date" of the inquiry.
Another note confirms a Robert Williams who was paid up to September 4, 1840, receiving $40, and who died shortly after on October 12, 1840.
Signature: The record is signed by W. Tyson.
Page 54

The document appears to be a historical record, possibly related to genealogy or military service, based on the names (F M King De, John Johnson, Robert William) and date (Feby 19 1891) mentioned in the text, and the fact it was contributed by a FamilySearch NARA Partner, an organization heavily involved in genealogy research.
Page 55

The provided text is a letter dated February 18, 1891, from J. M. Hines of the Reform Press Bureau in Washington, D.C., addressed to the Hon. Green B. Raum, Commissioner of Pensions.
Hines writes to inquire about the Revolutionary War service records of two individuals from the North Carolina troops: Jonas Johnson and Dr. Robert or Richard Williams. He respectfully requests a transcript of their rank and services from the Commissioner's office.

The document in the image is a historical record of a genealogical inquiry, specifically a letter or query sent to the Pension Bureau on August 2, 1920.
Content: It is a question asking for verification of whether a specific individual, Robt. Williams Jr. of North Carolina, received a pension for services as a "surgeter" (likely surgeon or sergeant) during the Revolutionary War.
Details Provided in the Query:
Name: Robt. Williams Jr.
State: North Carolina
Alleged Service: "Surgeter" in the 3rd Regiment
Death Information: Died in Pitt Co., N.C., around 1840 or 1842
What it Proves: The document itself does not prove whether Robert Williams Jr. actually received a pension or served in that capacity. It only serves as proof that this specific inquiry was made to the U.S. government's Pension Bureau on that date by someone in Marianna, Arkansas. The response to this query would contain the actual proof of pension status.
Page 58

The text mentions names like Mrs. David Wall, Mariana Ark (likely Marianna, Arkansas), and a specific file number: Fold3 File #28351747. 
To find more information, one would typically need to use the specific file number or names to search within the archives' database or the Fold3 platform itself, as those platforms specialize in historical records. 
The general search results provided information about different people named David Wall and the geography of the Mariana fore-arc, which are likely unrelated to the specific genealogical query in the image.

The letter is likely part of a collection of historical documents, possibly held by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), related to family history or military service, as suggested by the URL and contributing organization.
Key details from the letter:
Author: Julia Carman Woolvin, residing at 17 South Fourth Street, Wilmington, in Kenansville, Duplin County, North Carolina.
Purpose: She is seeking information about a specific ancestor's participation in the Battle of Morris Creek.
Specific Request: She knows the ancestor was involved in the battle but lacks official records and is asking for help or any available documentation.
The record is a request for information from a historical or archival source, rather than a definitive historical document in itself.
