I hereby Certify, That, from an examination of the Books and Documents, relating to Military Services in the War of the Revolution, which remain in this Department, it appears that. The name of Isaac Johnson is borne upon the Pay Roll of Capt Jeremiah Putnam's Company in Col Nathan Wadsworth's Regt for the period of six months & four days from the first day of July 1778 — The name of Isaac Johnson is also borne upon the Pay roll of Captain John Armstrong in Col Gills Regt for the period of twenty seven days. — There appears to be no date upon this Roll of Armstrongs, except when it was accepted in council which was in Aug. 1782.
