These may certify that it appears from the Books of the late Committee of Pay Table of this State now by law lodged in the Office of the Comptroller of Public Accounts that the following persons served as Soldiers in the Connecticut line of the Continental Army viz Richard Case entered service in the old eighth Regiment May 21 st AD 1777 & was in service in the then fifth Regiment Dec r 31 st AD 1781, Patrick Mahan or Maas entered service in the old third Regiment January 10 th 1777 & was in service in the Invalid Regiment Dec r 31 st 1781 Samuel Weaver entered service in said third Regiment June 29 th 1780 & was in service in the then first Regiment Dec r 31 st 1781 - Elisha Mygatt entered service in the old ninth (or Samuel B Webb's) Regiment April 2 d 1777 & was in service in the Invalid Regiment Dec r 31 st 1781 - John Hinckley entered service in the then fourth Regiment January 1 st 1781 & was in service in said Regiment Dec r 31 st 1781 - Eleazar Abbe entered service in the third Regiment April 16 th 1778 & was discharged from the then first Regiment September

twenty ninth AD 1781. These Books do not show the time for which the men were enlisted whether for three years or during the War It is also further Certified that the State of Connecticut did not settle with & pay these Regiments in the Continental Army to a later date than December 31 st 1781 of course it does not appear by said Books or any files in the Comptrollers Office how long any of the within men- tioned men may have served after December 31 st 1781—
