On opposite page I have transcribed to you a copy of the certificate of William Adams authorizing the clerk of said court to issue license to Thomas Wilson for the purpose of marrying his daughter Mary Adams and the Penal Bond executed by said Wilson payable to the Governor. And The license granted to said Wilson cannot be found now either can I find any other certificate returned giving a statement of the solemnization of said marriage.
I expect Sir that they never were returned if they were they have been filed in an improper place so it is impossible to trace any here.

W Maule Esq.
Sir:
Yours of the 25 th & 29 th ult. have come to hand & contents carefully noted.
Tho d Wilson did not receive a Bounty Land Warrant in 1811 as you suppose, but he rec d att. for 2666 2 / 3 acres of land on the 10 th Nov 1791. for 91. for 3 years service.
I examined the papers in the Office of Secretary of State, and there is no evidence there to show why the claim was allowed - so that I have very little doubt that by a thorough examination of the journals of the House of Delegates, it will be found that the Legislature adopted a resolution, founded upon his petition , which would fully identify him and show his place of residence. He was a Lt in the Illinois Regiment as the enclosed certificate of the Auditor clearly proves. — It would be attended with great labour to examine the journals of the House of Delegates the numerous accounts in the Auditor's as the proceedings were not arranged under particular heads — or in alphabetical order. It would occupy some 3 or 4 days to examine them thoroughly — I could not undertake so tedious an examination for less than $10 and should be poorly compensated then for the trouble — but I feel for the situation of an old a Lady and do believe that we can finally succeed by a patient and laborious investigation; for there was but one Tho d Wilson in the war — There may be

from Va. private of that name. Warrant No 41537 which is to be? Tho Wilson (from a private document in my possession) was located in his name in the Military District in Ky — It appears that a Capt Geo Hardy re 4000 acres of land Bounty, but no such individual as Tho Hardy — I presume he served in the Pennsylvania line.
Yours very respectfully,
S. H. Parker
P.S. It is highly probable that the Journal of the H. Delegates may show the fact that the S. H. Wilson was employed with Sine & Gilson in 1776-7 for the purpose stated by you.

January 29. 1847
I certify that I have examined the claim of the Executor of the late Thomas Wilson, dec d who was a Lieutenant in the Virginia State regiment commanded by Col. George R. Clark; and it appears that under the act of July 5. 1832, half-pay was allowed in 1837 from the 22 d of April 1783 to the day of his death. The claim now presented is for half-pay from the 31 st of December 1781 to the 22 d of April 1783. My opinion is that the claim should be allowed. I therefore certify that the Executor, Philip Trapnall, of Mercer County, Kentucky, is entitled to half-pay for said Wilson's service, under said act, from 31 December 1781 to the 22 d April 1783, at the rate of One Hundred and Sixty Dollars per annum, and that the amount is pay over to his attorney, the Hon. Bryan R. Young, a Member of Congress for Kentucky.
