I send a certificate in the case Daniel Marshburn for $12-4 more and I suppose that it will be quite likely that they will say that the two payments make too much for the time claimed for. Now Sir this man M r Marshburn is a good man, if there be any such thing, he has been a member of the Baptist Church for more than fifty years and has lived a pattern for others all the time. So says all his neighbours and when he went to file his declaration he would only claim for the time he was under the officers for such time as he was under furlough, as he called it, if he had his time would have been some three months more than he claimed.
The commissioner seems to think that there were no longer tours in the militia of North Carolina than three months and that they seldom served that long at one tour in this he is mistaken. There were in North Carolina drafts of 3-4 and 5 months of the militia and they served out such tours, so I have always understood and have often heard the soldiers themselves say. Now it does seem to me that the case of Marshburn's identity is as good as could be asked for at this late day after so many of the soldiers have passed away. he swears to it what dozen Respectable men certify that he is a man of truth and also certify that he was called and believed to have been a soldier of the Revolution. and it does seem to me that if they intend to comply with the Regulations laid down, they will have to make his allowance, unless they think that I am a Rogue or that

I would swindle the government if I had it in power now I have lived in this place more than thirty years and am well known by all the citizens of this place So I hope you will present the within certificate and ask the commission to take it up again and make this old his allowance it is right I am sure of it
In the case of Lewis Williams and Ensign Goff the I have sent you all that the books show relative to their service It is not one time in 20 if once in 50 that the books show officers from privates except by the amount of pay they rec d for their service I am in the militia
