I Hugh Holmes a Judge of the General Court of Virginia do certify that I have never received the certificate of pension granted to the above Francis Hughes to the best of my knowledge and belief it is possible inasmuch as I left home about the 5 th of Feb y last for the City of Washington that it might have been sent to my house and may have been mislaid. but I am certain that I have distributed all the pension warrants which I have received from the War Office except those for Reuben George and Benjamin McKnight whom I expect to see in the course of the present circuit soon under my hand this 26 th day of April 1819
