Sir,
Will you be so good as to inform if you know the fact if a black man who was formerly on the Pension Roll in the Vt. agency by name of Jack Randall is still living, & if so where.
He was formerly a resident of Braintree Orange Co. Vt. but left that place some ten years ago. when he left a wife at the time, & I am informed he has never been certainly heard from since he left.
In case he drew a Pension after leaving Vt. he must probably have had a transfer to some other Agency. His widow I am informed is yet living in S t . Braintree and is a town Pauper.
Yours Respectfully J. K. Pank
J. L. Edwards

I, Gideon Brandall of Royalton in the county of Windsor & State of Vermont of lawful age do testify and say, that in the summers of 1777 and 1778 I served as a soldier in the army of the United States on Rhode Island. The regiment of Col. Green commonly called the black regiment were serving there the same time. That regiment was in an engagement in the fall of 1777 and in the summer following the regiment was reduced to about one company and under the command of Capt Lewis. In the fall of 1778 they went to New York and New Jersey and I know no more of them. It is possible I may be mistaken as to year in the above date, but I think not. Gideon Brandall
