George H. Stanley Ch. of Plea
I know the above to be the signature of George H. Stanley Esq. a Counsellor at Law & a Justice of the Peace for said County
Simson Badger a Judge of the Sup. Court of Connecticut

I called Genl. Acct. Office on Dec- 19 1927 & find if date of death, date of last payment & name of person paid were given - The date of death given by that Office was Aug. 14 - 1818 same as is on 1835 list. That they call the supporting voucher was not found, hence date of last payment

and name of person paid were not recorded or not paid -
I inquired because I could not understand, after arrears were paid Sept. 4-1818, why another payment, Semi-ann. allowance end- ing March 4-1819, which made me doubt the date of death -
