Pension Office
May 26. 1845
I certify that I have examined the claim of the administrator of the late Captain John Williams, deceased , who was a Captain in the Virginia State Troops; and I find that there is still due under the act of the 5 th July 1832, entitled "an act to provide for liquidating and paying certain claims of the State of Virginia," half-pay from the 9 th of December 1781, when said Williams left the service, to the 3 d of September 1783, from which last date half-pay was allowed by the Treasury Department in January 1834. My opinion is that the claim should be allowed at the rate of Two Hundred and Forty Dollars per annum from December 9. 1781 to September 3. 1783, and that the amount due is payable to James A. Girault, administrator of John Williams, deceased.

This is R 19105 - Dear Sir: come to me about it. Have you record of a pen- sion issued to John Williams for Revolutionary War service as Captain of Artillery, Virgin- ia State Line?

Mr. William Stewart  Stewart Yours of June 18th regarding John Williams received. My ancestor of that name had a son John (may have been John R.) and a grand son John Rice Williams.

his grandson, John R. Williams later est. lived in Crawford Co., Ill., removing from Dubois Co. Ind.
Can you tell me where the John R. Wil- liams resided at time he was allowed arrears of half pay as admin- istrator, and the date when such payment was made?
Sincerely,
