On the 30 th day of March in the year 1818, be- -fore me William Branch, chief Judge of the said district, came Levi Talbot, a resident of the same district, and made oath in due form of law, that on the 9 th of September 1776 he enlisted as a soldier in Captain George Johnston's company of infantry, in the second regiment of the Virginia line of continental troops commanded by Col: Spotswood, and continued in the service four years, when his time of service having expired he was duly discharged. That he has lost his discharge and he does not believe it is now in existence; and that by reason of his reduced circumstances in life, he is in need of assistance from his country for support.
