Virginia, At a Court of Hustings held for the Town and Corporation of Fredericksburg the 9 th day of April 1818
John Bryant aged sixty one years, residing in Fredericksburg, came into Court and declared on Oath, that he enlisted on the 10 th day of March 1777, as a private under Lieutenant Gresham, of the light Dragoons, Commanded by Lieutenant Col o George Baylor, the Company Commanded by Captain Churchill Jones, for the term of three years, but served nearly five years; that he was discharged after the siege of York; that his discharge is lost or mislaid; and that from his age and reduced circumstances, he stands in need of the assistance of his country. And it further appeared to the Court from the evidence of Reubin Plunkett, and Churchill Jones, that the said declaration of the said John Bryant is true as to his enlistment and term of service; all which the Court directs to be certified to the Secretary of the Department of War of the United States
A Copy true,
Fredericksburg / June 15 th 1818. A. S. Hewlett
I do hereby certify, that I have years past attended the above named John Bryant, - and do assert, that he is a cripple upon crutches, and never will be able to walk without their assistance. His circumstances will not permit the expense of travelling to Washington, but could he make his appearance in that city and offer himself for examination by the Medical Staff, I feel confident that those professional gentlemen would entirely agree with me in opinion. D r M c Clusky Physician & Surgeon.

June 16th June 1818
I certify that I have been acquainted with John Bryant for fifteen years and have occasionally practiced in his family - As Dr. Willford has stated he is poor in health and means, and therefore requests the consideration of his Country
