State of Virginia, 8 th Judicial Circuit. —
This day George Norvell, aged sixty-two years, & residing within the County of Albemarle, part of the 8 th Judicial Circuit aforesaid, appeared before me, one of the Judges of the General Court of the Commonwealth of Virginia, & being first duly sworn according to law, states the following facts, in order to avail himself of the benefit of the late Act of Congress providing for the surviving officers & soldiers of the revolutionary army — That, in the year 1776, he enlisted as a regular soldier under Capt. Richard C. Anderson, in whose company he served for two years; after the expiration of which time he re-enlisted, & remained in the service of his country until the close of the war — that he was in the battles of Brandywine & Germantown, & at the siege of York — That he is now in reduced circumstances & requires the assistance of the government for his support, in corroboration of which statement he refers to the annexed certificate of Capt. W. Bentley. —
Sworn to before me, one of the Judges of the General Court of Virginia as aforesaid, the 14 th day of May 1818. —
Arch t Stuart Mem o — It appears to my satisfaction that the above declaration is true & that the aforesaid Geo: Norvell was entitled to the benefit of said Act of Congress ref d to Arch t Stuart

The Bearer hereof George Norvel enlisted with me a Lieutenant in Captain Richard G. Anderson's Company raised in Hanover County in the State of Virg a for two years, in the month of January One Thousand Seven hundred & Seventy Six. and attached to the 5 th Virginia Regiment of Continental Troops. - That the said Norvel served out the time he engaged for, and at the expiration of the two years He re-enlisted, and my impression is, that he continued in Service, until the end of war. - I was detached from the Northern army where he served his two years, and sent to the Southern Army where I was made a prisoner, which deprived me of an oppor- -tunity of witnessing his latter services, but I have assurances of his being at the Cap- -ture of Corn Wallis, York Town, Virginia which was near the close of the war.
Given under my Hand this 2 nd day of May 1818.
