I certify that I have examined the case of Charles Vowles, deceased, and I find that he served as a Lieutenant in the regiment of Virginia State Artillery to the 6 th of October 1781, in which year  when the regiment to which he belonged was disbanded. The claim of his administrator under the act of July 5, 1832 should in my opinion be allowed. I therefore certify that he is entitled to half-pay for Vowles's service from October 6, 1781 to the first of September, seventeen hundred and ninety-nine, at which time it is clearly there is no evidence  shown that the said Vowles was alive. The amount is payable at the rate of two hundred dollars per annum from to William C. Beale, administrator of Fredericksburg, Va. administrator of said Vowles, deceased.
the precise time of his death.
