Formal Certificate issued March 31. 1824 H'ntle Sam l H. Parsons Esq. Middletown Connecticut

It is hereby Certified, That Ichiel Snell late of Windsor in the County of Hartford, now of Chatham in the County of Middlesex, formerly a Corporal in Captain William Latham's company, in the Regiment commanded by Colonel Sedgwick, who it appears by the accompanying certificate was placed on the pension roll at the rate of Six \frac{40}{100} dollars per month, on account as he states of having received a wound in his left knee and left elbow, by musket balls, while in the line of his duty, and in the said service on or about the year 1781 at Groton fort, in the State of Connecticut, is not only still disabled in consequence of the said injury, but we further find that there is a permanent stiffness and a contraction of the left knee which renders the joint entirely useless, together with a weakness of the left elbow which nearly deprives him of the use of that arm. Having never seen the subject of this certificate until long after he had been placed upon the pension list, it is impossible for us to certify what his disability might then have been, and consequently we are unable to say how much it has increased since that time, but it is evident that it is now equal to the disability arising from an amputated leg and an arm almost useless, and it is our opinion that he is totally disabled from obtaining a farthing by manual labor — Middletown Aug. 9. 1822.
