It is hereby certified that Joseph Todd

Madison in the regiment of Kentucky Mili-
tia commanded by Col. Oldham, is
rendered incapable of performing the duty
of a soldier by reason of wounds and dis-
abilities inflicted while he was actually
in the Service of the United States, and in the
line of his duty; viz:

By satisfactory evidence and
accurate examination, it appears, that
on the 4th day of November in the year
1791, being engaged in a battle against
the Indians, at a place called St. Clairs
river( St. Clairs defeat) he received a
wound being a gun shot wound; a ball
entered the back of his left wrist (being a left
handed man) and passing through the same
and he is thereby not only incapacitated
for Military duty but, in the opinion of the
undersigned is one half disabled from
obtaining his subsistence by manual
labor.
