Indictment June 1781 for 3 yrs Capt. Rovey or Kibbe's Company Col. Michael Jackson's regiment Massachusetts line — Served in the C. A. about 8 months, was then detached under Capt. Pray or Pray to take charge of the Spn or guard tents on the Hudson Discharged Dec r 1783 — Westpoint
This applicant first made his declaration Apr 1 1818 & it was accompanied with a regular  discharge proving his service. It was returned from the War Dept t . (whether it had been sent) in the summer 1818, with a note endorsed that the applicant was not found upon the rolls, and that the discharge was deemed insufficient evi- dence of service, requiring only the judge's certificate of indigent circumstances. This was obtained & the papers again forwarded to the Department of War; but it seems from a letter from that office dated Sept. 16. last, that these papers were never received.
In the present instance the Judge in addition to the usual certificate certi- fies to the fact that a regular discharge proving the service was annexed to the former declaration; also that the note mentioned above, was endorsed endorsed thereon by the Department. It is hoped that the applicant's case will be as it seems impro- bable that it cannot be found on the rolls.
